The State University of New York at Albany (UAlbany) said it would investigate “any allegations of conduct violations” after the school’s Asian student community called an off-campus coronavirus-themed party “racist.”

In a short, now-deleted video, originally posted on Barstool Albany’s Instagram account, a bucket of iced Corona beers and a student wearing a surgical mask over his face appear with the caption: “Corona virus isn’t gonna stop anyone from partying,” reported WGY News Radio in Albany.
