Update: Harley Barber has been expelled from the University of Alabama, she told the New York Post.

Officials at the University of Alabama are investigating racist social media videos made by a student who says she is from New Jersey in one post that was made on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Warning: The videos below contain explicit and racially charged language.

The student, Harley Barber, identified herself as a member of Alpha Phi sorority in one of the posts, during which she is seen turning off the tap of a sink and stating "We do not waste water...because of the poor people in Syria. We don't waste water. I love how I act like I love black people because I (expletive) hate (n-word) so that's really interesting but I just saved the (expletive) (n-word) by shutting that water off."

In a second video, Barber addressed the controversy resulting from her original post, doubling down on the racist language by repeating the n-word several times.

The existence of the videos was first reported by AL.com.

"These remarks are ignorant and disturbing and in no way reflect the values of The University of Alabama," the university said on Twitter. "This unfortunate behavior has been reported to the Office of Student Conduct as it does not align with the community expectations of students at the Capstone."

A spokesperson for the university did not immediately return a call placed by NJ.com on Tuesday night.

Attempts to reach Harley Barber by phone and through Facebook were not successful late Tuesday.
