Baylor University-Noose ignites tempers on campus

Saw this on CNN while working out at gym tonight. A Theta from Penn State was next to me and we both had the very same, very sad thought-"Were these guys in a Fraternity?"
From the schools' newspaper:
At 9 a.m. Tuesday, a rope was discovered tied like a noose hanging from a tree outside of Morrison Hall, prompting the Baylor NAACP and Baylor's Association of Black Students to hold a joint meeting to discuss racially charged events on Election Day. The groups feel the acts were indicative of a racist culture at Baylor.

My sister goes to Baylor and never has anything but good things to say about the campus community. Unfortunately it only takes a few rotten apples to spoil the whole bunch!

Everything I have heard about this is rather unclear if the rope was a noose or not. I mean what the heck does "noose like" mean? Did they not know how to tie a noose?
