Administrators at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University in Minnesota are investigating a video circulating on social media that shows students chanting “build that wall” aboard a school shuttle bus.

University officials said the video was filmed on the Link, which is an inter-campus bus that serves the College of Saint Benedict, a women’s college, and Saint John’s University, a men’s college, ABC News affiliate KSTP reported.

The six-second video, shot by Lucy Dornbach, has racked up more than 40,000 views since Sunday. It shows several males shouting the pro-President Trump slogan “build that wall” as others looked on.

The Rev. Doug Mullin, vice president for student development at Saint John’s University, sent a campus email saying the incident was being investigated.

“Along with many others in our community, I find this behavior regrettably insensitive to those riding the bus who were offended by that behavior,” he wrote, Inside Higher Ed reported Wednesday. “Understandably, some people who were on the bus or who heard about the incident may even feel their safety was being threatened.

“The incident is currently under investigation,” he continued. “It is a tradition and value of our Benedictine campuses that we strive to honor the dignity of all persons — persons of all races, ethnicities, sexual or gender identities, nationalities, abilities, religious affiliations, economic or social standings, as well as all political persuasions — by treating them with respect, most especially those with whom we may disagree or whom we do not understand. Chanting highly charged political opinions on a bus fails our community in honoring this value.”

Protesters gathered on campus Tuesday afternoon and issued a list of demands for the administration, including hiring more diverse faculty and holding students accountable for hate speech, KSTP reported.

“The situation we are in, the political climate that we are in right now — we have to be bigger than that,” organizer Gladys Gutierrez told the station.
