Media outlets are reporting students at Ole Miss held a protest of President Barack Obama's re-election late Tuesday night. Initial reports indicated there was a riot, but those were reports were quickly refuted.

"students were heard shouting racial epithets about Obama and African Americans in general."

The Daily Mississipian also reported racial epithets were exchanged, and the protest started in one place and ended in The Grove.

Police were called to the scene, according to the Clarion-Ledger, and the crowd broke up around 12:30 a.m.

The report also cited Twitter user @CaMeshaLaShay, who shared a photo showing males burning an Obama/Biden 2012 sign. The paper pointed out, however, it was unclear if this photo was taken on the Ole Miss campus.

WMCTV Channel 5 quoted Ole Miss journalism student Margaret Ann Morgan's twitter account. "Onlookers say people- black, white, etc- throwing rocks at cars. Students of all races yelling on rebel drive. Lots of racial slurs."

Nicholas Carr told the TV station there were no rocks thrown.

"I was there the whole time. No rocks were thrown. There was one sign lit on fire. For about 45 seconds," Carr said.

According to WREG News Channel 3 in Memphis, Alexander Pipes tweeted, "Not trying to be flippant, but if you consider "riot" to be a really long line at Subway OKAY it looks like that around Ole Miss. That's it."
