WASHINGTON 鈥� Less than a week after video surfaced depicting members of an Oklahoma University fraternity singing a racist chant, a racist, sexist email聽from a member of a聽University of Maryland fraternity has surfaced.
In the email, sent in January 2014, a member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity uses racial slurs to refer to black, Indian and Asian women and alludes to raping women during Rush Week.
In a , university president Wallace Loh says the university became aware of the email on Tuesday, and calls the email 鈥渧ulgar鈥� and said it 鈥渆xpresses views that are reprehensible to our campus community.鈥�
Loh goes on to say that he has been in contact with the fraternity and that they鈥檝e 鈥渢aken swift and decisive action in this matter,鈥� requesting 鈥渆ducational training on diversity and respect for the entire fraternity,鈥� which the university will provide.
Loh added that an investigation led by the university’s Office of Civil Rights and Sexual Misconduct聽is underway.
The Kappa Sigma fraternity hasn鈥檛 made a public response yet.
