University of Missouri officials have been alerted to reports of a racist message by an MU student. The information was referred to the MU Office of Institutional Equity.

“This language is reprehensible, and we condemn any language and actions that are racist, discriminatory and hateful to our community,” said Mun Choi, president of the University of Missouri.

Following the review, the university will take appropriate action.
