University of Puget Sounds (UPS) is a small liberal arts college in Tacoma, Washington known for being very expensive ($60,000 a year cost of attendance) as well as having serial killer Ted Bundy as an alum. Being a liberal arts college near Seattle, its student body skews left politically and Trump’s election was not well received by the students.
The morning after the election, flyers were found posted across campus titled “Bigots of Puget Sound”. These flyers listed the names of 22 students, faculty, and security staff for offenses such as racism, misogyny, transphobia and rape (e.g. a white girl who was a member of the Black Student Union was called a racist--apparently dating black guys is fetishizing black bodies).
The flyers were quickly removed by campus security and the university investigated who was responsible for them. Apparently 3 “students of color” (i.e. a black nerd, what looks like an indian girl, and a very white looking mexican) were extremely traumatized by Trump’s win that they appointed themselves bigot sheriffs for the university.
Surprisingly, the University did not take kindly to students posting defamatory flyers around campus. As punishment, the University suspended the students for 3 years. The two girls had finished the required credits for their degrees before they were suspended--meaning that they won’t officially graduate for three more years. Meanwhile, the male student was living in campus housing and was evicted as a result.
The three students are not happy with their punishment nor apologetic about their actions. They have taken to calling themselves the “UPS Three”--which appears to be an incredibly self-important reference to the Central Park Five. They are currently whining on social media and to the actual media about how they are the real victims in this story.
Most of this info was from gossip from friends that graduated from or are students of UPS, but here are a number of news articles about this story

TLDR: 3 “students of color” were so butthurt about the election that they posted bigot lists all around their college campus; they were suspended from the school for 3 years (2 were supposed to graduate in December--but won’t receive their $250,000 degrees for at least 3 years)
