Comment on Missouri fraternity suspended over reports of racial slurs

Missouri fraternity suspended over reports of racial slurs

(AP) — The University of Missouri temporarily suspended a fraternity on Wednesday over accusations of racial slurs directed toward black students, in the latest incident of racial tension that has roiled the campus for nearly a year. A suspended fraternity cannot use university facilities or participate in campus activities such as Homecoming and social events, the university said. The incident follows campus turmoil last year, when student protests over what some saw as administrators' indifference to racial issues culminated in the resignations of some top university leaders in October. The university said Wednesday that police have identified the students involved, and that the Office of Student Conduct and the Office of Civil Rights & Title IX have been notified and "are taking appropriate action."
