Fraternity suspended after racial slur incident at Mizzou

The latest trouble began, according to MU’s Legion of Black Collegians student organization, when a group of white students hurled racial slurs at two black students as they crossed paths in front of a fraternity house late Tuesday. That incident drew a crowd, police and allegedly more racial slurs shouted from the windows of the fraternity house.
The fraternity, Delta Upsilon, was placed on emergency suspension Wednesday by its international governing body as fraternity and university officials sought to learn exactly what happened.
“Quite frankly, we are sick of this,” the Legion of Black Collegians said in a statement. “Any student that selects to intentionally use hate speech on a campus that pushes the morals of ‘inclusivity’ and ‘diversity’ does not belong, and their presence continues to foster the apparent dichotomy amongst black and white students. ...
