Oklahoma City University officials and student leaders are responding to an allegation of racial profiling by campus police and the use of a racial slur by students.

Two ranking campus officers resigned this month on the same day the student newspaper reported a university employee had accused one of the officers of racial profiling.

Last week, the Student Government Association passed a resolution requesting Kappa Sigma and Alpha Phi sorority suspend operations on campus after members of each chapter created a soccer tournament team named the “Porch Monkeys,” considered a racial slur against African Americans.

“It has been a difficult few weeks at OCU, and I’d like to ask for your help as we move forward from this difficult time,” President Martha Burger said in an email to students on Friday, adding she plans to incorporate new diversity initiatives.
