I'll add this article by the Economist, with reference to what happened in both Yale and Missouri.

At the University of Missouri, whose president resigned on November 9th, administrators did a poor job of responding to complaints of unacceptable behaviour on campus—which included the scattering of balls of cotton about the place, as a put-down to black students, and the smearing of faeces in the shape of a swastika in a bathroom.

I had not heard about the scattering of balls of cotton around.

The cotton balls incident occurred in early 2010. The two intoxicated students responsible were arrested, suspended, convicted of littering, lost their driver's licenses for a few months, did community service & served two years' probation. They withdrew from MU & lost their ROTC appointments. Different administration: Tim Wolfe was not the president of the university then nor was R. Bowen Loftin the chancellor. The new interim president, Mike Middleton, was deputy chancellor at the time.
