Two students were expelled from the University of Oklahoma this week after a video of them leading a racist chant went viral. The response from David Boren, the president of the university, was swift and decisive — the video went public Sunday night, and by midday Tuesday the university had announced the expulsion. The incident raised heated questions about race relations — and how to balance free speech with protection from discrimination and harassment. Many applauded Boren’s strong stance as a good means to ensure the campus wasn’t a racially hostile place. But others cautioned he had not given sufficient consideration to the students’ First Amendment rights.
