The school put out a statement that implied that this wasn't an isolated incident.
Why is a school even getting involved, even if some business in town was being racist? Schools are for educating students and keeping them safe on campus.

School campuses are like fiefdoms these days. A lot of schools have their own campus police and handle cases between students internally, but asking local townsfolk to use their own arbiters instead of the police is really something else. Tangentially related I helped a friend with move-in day recently and they told me international students had been there for 2 weeks already... quarantining... in a city where all mask mandates ended months ago. It all seems so performative.
> A week after the incident, the school canceled all of our standing orders.
It's not a random business in town, it's a business they do business with. Seems reasonable to me that the racism of my chosen business partners would be relevant to my business.
