MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) - Five college students stripped of residence hall duties for making a video that mimics a Middle Eastern hostage-taking apologized Friday but demanded their jobs back, saying the 2-minute video was never intended to be offensive.
An attorney for the students also announced the filing of a lawsuit against Long Island University and its C.W. Post College in Brookville.
In the video, five figures in ski masks speak in crude Middle Eastern accents as they threaten their captive, a rubber duck that serves as the mascot of a residence hall.
