University of Oklahoma removes fraternity

Members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity at the University of Oklahoma have until midnight Tuesday to pack their bags and get out of their house after a video showed them chanting a racial epithet on the way to a party. It was only a nine-second clip, but the fallout has been significant. The national chapter of SAE shuttered the house at OU, and school President David Boren said the university's affiliation with the fraternity is permanently done. At a news conference, Boren said the school was looking into punishing the people involved, especially those "who have taken a lead" in the chanting. "If we're ever going to snuff this out in the whole country, let alone on college campuses, we're going to have to have zero tolerance and we have to act right away," the former Oklahoma governor and U.S. senator said. "This is not a place that wants racists or bigots on our campus or will tolerate it, so I think you have to send a very strong signal."
