According to
The Undefeated, Morehouse College, a historically Black college and university (HBCU) withdrew from a debate tournament after members of rival teams mocked them with anti-Black sentiments and disrespect toward the team.
The decision to leave the tournament came after Morehouse participated during Round 5 of the USUDC (The United States Universities Debating Championship) when the Black college was being mocked by members of rival debate teams, including students from the University of Hawaii. The other rival teams were also being disrespectful toward the Morehouse team by turning their cameras on during the time that Morehouse was speaking, which was not allowed given the virtual format of the debate.
