UA student released from sorority for use of racial slur

A member of UA sorority Chi Omega was released from her organization Wednesday evening after allegedly sending a Snapchat containing a racial slur. This follows a similar incident within Chi Omega last August. Deborah Lane, associate vice president for university relations, said the sorority notified Chi Omega headquarters and the University of the incident immediately. 

“The University of Alabama is extremely disappointed when any student uses language that is disrespectful or offensive to any segment of the UA community,” Lane said Wednesday in an emailed statement. “Behavior, actions and choices that disparage other students are particularly reprehensible and do not represent the values or meet the expectations of our University community.”
