OU President David Boren

OU President David Boren said in a Twitter statement Nov. 15 that the OU student involved in the University of Pennsylvania incident is no longer enrolled. The incident involved black students being added to group messages rife with racial slurs and graphic images. The messages appear to have originated in Oklahoma, according to a statement from the University of Pennsylvania.
