NORMAN, Okla. — A second professor at the University of Oklahoma is in trouble for using a racial slur in the classroom.
The university's interim president responded to the incident by letter. Joseph Harroz, Jr. said a history professor read from a historical document that used the “n-word” repeatedly. Harroz described the incident as painful for students to hear.
This is the second time in less than two weeks Harroz has addressed a faculty member's use of racially offensive language.
On Feb. 12, 2 Works for You reported an OU journalism professor was comparing the term "OK, boomer" to the "n-word". The professor is not allowed to teach for the rest of the semester.
