Charles Sturt University has confirmed the students who threw a “politically incorrect” themed party at the Black Swan Hotel on Friday last week are currently enrolled at their Wagga Wagga campus.

Photos were posted on social media accounts showing party goers dressed as Ku Klux Klan members and in full body 'blackface' as an African-American slave. An image of people dressed as Nazi soldiers with Jewish prisoners was also circulated.

In a statement, Charles Sturt University Vice-Chancellor Professor Andrew Vann said: “The University has identified all students in both images distributed last Friday following an event at the Black Swan in Wagga Wagga”.
