BATON ROUGE - LSU's Athletics department says it's taking "immediate and deliberate" action after a video surfaced showing a student-athlete using a racial slur.

The video was shared on Twitter late Friday and whipped up outrage online, with many identifying the person in the video as a tennis player at the university.

The department released a brief statement Saturday saying it was taking "steps" to address the situation.

We are aware of the social media post concerning one of our student-athletes, and we are taking immediate and deliberate steps to address it. We will not condone behavior that is in violation of our core values and expectations of student conduct.

Yes, LSU should immediately kick the murderer off the murder team.

What action would you like for LSU to take for a murder that’s clearly in BRPD jurisdiction?

I don't know...maybe have an awareness campaign.

Are you old enough to remember this:

LSU Rally Advises Women To Remain Alert Of Serial Killer

quote:
Spending their free time and time they should have been in class to hear from those close to the investigation of the serial killer, more than 300 LSU students and faculty members gathered to learn what they could.

The message directed to the wall of women in the audience was the chilling reality that they are not so different from the five women known to have been murdered by the serial killer.

Lisa, president of the newly-formed Citizens Against the Serial Killer (CASK) says, "None of these women did anything to provoke this killer. They simply caught his attention just as you could."

One LSU student who attended the rally said, "I'm tired of being scared and I'm tired of constantly looking over my shoulder. I don't like feeling that way."

quote:
Also present at the rally was LSU Chancellor Mark Emmert. Emmert says that LSU has added extra security patrol and cameras around the university to protect both its students and the Baton Rouge community.
