Protesters want release of frat video deemed racist, sexist

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Protesters at New York's Syracuse University have demanded that the school release video showing racist and sexist behavior by members of a now-suspended fraternity.


The school's chancellor, Ken Syverud, described the video involving members of Theta Tau, a professional engineering fraternity, as racist, anti-Semitic, homophobic, sexist and hostile to people with disabilities. He said the videos were turned over to the school's Department of Public Safety for possible disciplinary or legal action.


"I am appalled by this and deeply concerned for all members of our community," Chancellor Kent Syverud wrote in an email, according to The Post-Standard .


Theta Tau is investigating and said the behaviors described were not representative of its "very diverse organization."
