University of Oklahoma has expelled 2 students over fraternity's racist chant

Oklahoma University on Tuesday expelled two students accused of playing a "leadership role" in a fraternity's racist video.

University President David Boren issued a statement saying the investigation into the Sigma Alpha Epsilon video was continuing.

"I have acted today to expel two students who were leaders in the singing of a racist chant," Boren said in a tweet that linked to the statement. When the identities of others involved is confirmed, they will face "appropriate disciplinary action," he said.

Boren said the students had created a "hostile environment" for students and the university community.

"I have emphasized that there is zero tolerance for this kind of threatening racist behavior at the University of Oklahoma," Boren said. "I hope the entire nation will join us in having zero tolerance of such racism when it raises its ugly head in other situations across our country." USA Today
