STORRS, Conn. - Two University of Connecticut students have been charged with shouting a racial slur outside a campus apartment complex in an episode that was caught on video and has led to protests at the school. Phone and email messages were left for the two students, who are due in court Oct. 30. Police believe the young men were among three people seen on the video walking through the parking lot of UConn’s Charter Oak Apartment complex Oct. 11. Two of the three use the racial slur several times and laugh, police said. That student told police he was not sure whether the students saw him or were directing the racial epithets toward him.
