NATION IN BRIEF : RHODE ISLAND : Party Canceled After Attacks on Students

Brown University has canceled one event for black students and moved another following a string of attacks on white and Asian students at the Ivy League school in Providence, R.I. University officials also limited the number of non-students attending campus events this weekend, said Robert Reichley, vice president for university relations. “What we have decided to do is move some of the events held by minority students away from the perimeter of campus to the interior of campus,” he said. A “Funk Night” party scheduled for Thursday was canceled when officials decided to move it but could not find another location.
