Purdue Northwest chancellor apologizes for 'offensive' remark after impersonating speakers of Asian
Purdue University Northwest’s chancellor apologized for making an “offensive and insensitive” comment during the school’s commencement, when he mocked Asian languages in an impersonation.
Chancellor Thomas Keon said he did not mean to be hurtful, calling the comment a “mistake.”
“I made a comment that was offensive and insensitive,” he said in a statement on Wednesday. “I am truly sorry for my unplanned, off-the-cuff response to another speaker, as my words have caused confusion, pain, and anger.”
During the school’s Saturday morning ceremony, Keon responded to radio host James Dedelow, who said in his commencement speech that he sometimes uses a made-up language.
