Students protest University of Oklahoma fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon |
“Effective immediately, all ties and affiliations between the university and the local SAE (Sigma Alpha Epsilon) chapter are hereby severed,” University President David Boren said on Monday.
Members have until midnight on Tuesday to vacate the premises and people could be seen loading goods into moving trucks behind the fraternity house.
“To those who have misused their free speech in such a reprehensible way, I have a message for you. You are disgraceful,” Boren said.
He told a news conference the fraternity would not be allowed back on campus as long as he is president and the university has launched an investigation to see if individual members can be punished. No students were named.
Boren walked alongside hundreds of students at a solidarity rally on campus on Monday morning, hours after the Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s national leadership suspended its members at the university over the video.
The University of Oklahoma quickly expelled two of the racist punks who led a vile chant among a group of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity brothers.
The school did not identify the students, but President David Boren said Tuesday that they played a “leadership role” in the offensive song, chanted on board a party-bound frat bus over the weekend.
“I have emphasized that there is zero tolerance for this kind of threatening racist behavior at the University of Oklahoma,” he said in a statement, noting that the students "created a hostile learning environment for others."
