NORMAN, OK — A fraternity shut down over a racist chant sung by some of its members is considering suing the University of Oklahoma. Β The alumni board for the OU chapter of SAE has hired a prominent attorney.
Stephen Jones is known for representing Timothy McVeigh. Β He says the alumni are outraged that the university president shut the house down immediately and branded all SAE members at OU as racists and bigots.
“While I understand the anger, I’m sometimes called in to handle the consequences of anger that perhaps has gone out of control,” said Jones. Β “I think it would have been better to have taken a more measured response.”
Jones says the two students who were expelled over that racist chant have apologized and thinks the incident is being exploited.
