Lolade Siyonbola, a black graduate student at Yale University, had been writing a paper in her dorm’s common room when she dozed off. The controversy adds to recent national news stories of white people calling the police to report innocuous encounters with black people. UPDATE: 4:00 p.m. — Yale Police Chief Ronnell Higgins issued a statement Thursday appearing to confirm Siyonbola’s account of the incident. The responding officers “informed the caller that the student who had been in the common room was an authorized resident who had every right to be there,” according to the statement.
