Clemson University Chief Diversity Officer Leon Wiles said the school’s leadership has discussed banning the anonymous social media messaging application Yik Yak from the campus wireless network after students posted numerous racially insensitive posts on the app that he said is exacerbating racial tensions on campus.

Students recommended banning the app when the coalition of mostly black students met with school leaders on the library bridge late last semester, Wiles said.
