Jacksonville State student disciplined after racial slur

JACKSONVILLE, Ala. - A Jacksonville State University student is being disciplined for allegedly using a racial slur.

The Anniston Star quotes the university as saying the student was a fraternity member at the time and made racially offensive statements to members of another fraternity at a football game in September.

The university won't identify the student or specify the nature of the disciplinary action.

But a school statement says the student is no longer a member of the fraternity, which issued a public apology after the incident.

The fraternity also is participating in training for cultural sensitivity and diversity.
