Student accused of writing n***** on receipt kicked out of fraternity and investigated by university in Oklahoma

A university student who allegedly wrote “n*****” on a restaurant receipt has been kicked out of his fraternity.

On Sunday, an image of the offensive note with the racist slur in the signature was shared to Twitter by a woman in Norman, Oklahoma.

The man accused of writing it is said to attend Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, around 65 miles from Norman.

The college has stated its senior staff have been made aware of the "hurtful and insensitive" incident.

Writing on Twitter, the woman who said she ​received the receipt said: “After working a 16 hour shift yesterday I was delighted to see that one of Stillwater’s very own decided to leave a heart warming note at the bottom of his receipt...”

Below this there was an image of the paper, with the time as 9.56pm on November 11, and the offensive term handwritten with what looks to have been a black ballpoint pen.

The post continued: “Next time you can stay in Stillwater because we don’t need your racist kind around here.”

Following this, an account for the school addressed the incident on Twitter.

It said: “OSU has been made aware of this incredibly hurtful and insensitive action. This does not represent the university’s values or its diverse community and OSU leadership have been alerted.”

Meanwhile the school’s Delta Tau Delta group said it had held an emergency meeting and decided to eject the accused member.

A statement from the Oklahoma State Delts said: “It has come to our attention that one of our members wrote a racial slur on a restaurant receipt in normal this past weekend.

“We have expelled him per a unanimous vote in an emergency chapter.

“We have absolutely no tolerance for bigotry or racial intolerance.

“This member’s actions are not a representation of our thoughts or opinions.”

Members of the group also stated that they had informed university officials and thanked Oklahoma State’s vice president for working with them on dealing with the situation.

What action is being taken by the university has not been detailed.

The Standard has contacted Oklahoma State as well as the woman who shared the receipt for further comment.

The man accused is stated to have deleted his social media accounts.
