2003: QB email incident
A comment using the term "nigger" made by [[studio art]] professor Aida Laleian to studio art professor Laylah Ali '90 at a department meeting in Spring 2004 was the spark for a number of events of campus-wide publicity and importance that, together, are probably rightly called a scandal.

=== [[Queer Bash Email Incident]] ===
 
An email sent by Nate Winstanley '04 on behalf of the [[Queer Student Union]] (QSU) to all-campus to publicize the fall 2003 [[Queer Bash]] drew vehemently disapproving emails from two first-year students, Jon Pritchard '07 and Brandon Lucien '07. When the text became public it was a spark for campus-wide discussions on homophobia and how insensitive speech should be handled at Williams.
