I could barely move a second before but the second I saw Tyler’s life in danger my adrenaline went up and I knew I had to do something or he would be another black victim to police brutality by excessive force.” “One of the police officers was trying to put the handcuffs on him and the other started choking Tyler on the left side of his neck and proceeded to dig his finger into the back of Tyler’s ear to which he screamed out in pain. “The two cops just move towards him, put both of their body weight on him which was unnecessary force so I got up grabbed my phone and yelled to them that I was recording,” Badiane wrote. The situation continued escalating, and she said suddenly one of the officers began arresting Tyler. The residence director tried to make Clavelle leave due to their argument over using the women’s bathroom, Badiane said, and eventually, the campus security officer called the police. “Do you understand how hard it is for black men in today’s society to be able to identify as something other than a male and be taken seriously?”īadiane said she and Clavelle are filing Title IX complaints against the school and those involved. “ Do you understand that for Tyler’s entire life he has been stereotyped or type casted because of his physical appearance?” Badiane questioned in her statement. In her account, Badiane explained how a white nonbinary student in a neighboring dorm frequently uses the women’s bathroom without being challenged, but because Clavelle appears as a tall, muscular black male he was treated differently. The director then reportedly told Clavelle that she didn’t believe he was non-binary because he used male pronouns, did not use a different name, and was not registered with the school as non-binary. The incident was triggered when the residence director stopped Tyler, who is non-binary, from using the women’s bathroom to wash his hands and told him he was not allowed to, Badiane said.
A resident director and a campus security officer knocked on her door after smelling marijuana, which Badiane said she had smoked to deal with her nausea and anxiety.

“As a result of this specific incident, we have implemented de-escalation training and we are expanding professional development programming for our employees, we will also be updating our campus safety/Keene City Police crisis management protocols and expectations.”īadiane said Clavelle had been staying in her dorm room on March 16 to care for her after she had spent the past three hours throwing up. “As I became aware of their experiences, I spoke with the students directly, conducted an internal review of this incident, and reached out to our City partners to discuss our working relationships, supports, and values,” Treadwell wrote in her letter. 1, Treadwell sent a letter to the campus community acknowledging the incident and how institutional responses can be imperfect. “At this point we are reaching out because Keene State College does not care about its black students and has made that very clear,” she wrote.
