Syracuse University has suspended a fraternity after video surfaced showing members saying things that the university’s chancellor called “extremely racist.”Chancellor Kent Syverud suspended the university’s chapter of Theta Tau, a professional engineering fraternity, on Wednesday. The university became aware of the videos after someone forwarded them to officials, a spokeswoman told The New York Times. Liam McMonagle, 19, told the Times it demonstrates that racism is alive and real. “Now today there’s a video, and today it’s on social media, and today it’s proven.” he said. Syverud said a formal investigation is underway “to identify individuals involved and to take additional legal and disciplinary action.”
