R.I. legislative caucus jumps into Papitto discussion

PROVIDENCE – The Rhode Island Minority Leadership/Legislative Caucus plans to respond during a news conference tomorrow to the use of a racial slur by Roger Williams University’s former Board of Trustees chairman Ralph R. Papitto.

Papitto, for whom the Roger Williams law school is named, used the slur during a May Board of Trustees meeting.

The news conference will take place tomorrow at 11 a.m. near the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. bust on the second floor of the State House.
