Wisconsin fraternity suspended after reports of racism
May 19, 2016

(Reuters) - A fraternity has been suspended on University of Wisconsin's flagship campus after a member reported that the organization created an environment that breeds discrimination and racial insensitivity, the school said.

The Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter on the university’s Madison campus has been suspended of all activities until Nov. 1 and all fraternity members are required to go through diversity, inclusion and mental health training, the school said in a statement on Wednesday.

The suspension stems from a complaint from an unidentified member who reported to the university's student-led Committee on Student Organizations that he was subjected to fellow members using racial, anti-gay and anti-Semitic slurs on several occasions since 2014, the school said.

In one instance, the student reported that a fellow fraternity member addressed him with a racial slur and choked him for five seconds until other members intervened during a Halloween party in 2014, according to the school.

1. uni of wisconsin is like 90 others - they rent their

logos to 270 limbaugh/kkk/gop stations that spend hours every day excusing republican racism and trumpism so ALEC and the kochs and the GOP can use it to pass their deregulation and voter suppression etc.

those 90 universities are good places to protest until they start looking for alternativess

2. This is the same fraternity that was kicked off the University of OKlahoma's campus

after a video of members singing a racist song. They have a national problem it seems.
