ATLANTA, Ga. — Emory University has been quietly dealing with a law student who sent increasingly bizarre messages containing racist language to a faculty member.

That controversy exploded into public view in recent weeks as local news outlets began covering the story.

That student, Milano Wayne, has now been expelled amid accusations that Emory University was too slow to remove him and address his behavior. Wayne did not respond to messages seeking comment.
