University President Apologizes Over Wale’s Performance

Wale’s weekend performance at the University of Mary Washington has caused the school’s president to issue an apology. In a letter to Fredericksburg, Virginia’s “Free Lance-Star,” Rick Hurley says he’s sorry some people were offended by Wale’s performance. He writes, quote,

“I am sorry that a high-spirited weekend on campus ended on such a negative note for some of our closest neighbors who were offended by both the volume and the content of the music.”

Wale took the stage last Saturday night at the University of Mary Washington’s Battleground Athletic Complex. Following the show, three residents complained about the concert’s volume and Wale’s profanity. Rick Hurley says the school will now screen potential artists before allowing them to perform.
