Georgia Southern University eventually issued a statement on the matter, saying that the school is “no place for bigotry or racism.”“The University shares the hurt our community has expressed following the use of a racial slur exhibited in a screenshot shared on social media,” the statement reads. “The use of such racist comments is offensive and unacceptable and in no way reflects the attitudes or values of Georgia Southern University.” It is currently unclear whether or not the university has taken any disciplinary action against the student in question, as her identity and student records are protected. African-American students at the school say that they are outraged by the situation, and don’t buy the excuse that the slur was the result of a spell-check error.
