The student facing assault charges after repeatedly hurling a racial slur at a black student on campus Sunday morning has been permanently banned from campus and could face additional charges, the university’s president said from kentucky
Sophia Rosing, who is no longer a student, was initially suspended on an interim basis, and is now no longer a student, permanently banned from campus and will not be able to re-enroll as a student, the message from the University of Kentucky (UK ) President Eli Capilouto told the British community.
“Although he is no longer a student, we must continue our investigations,” Capilouto continued.
“This includes our cooperation with an investigation into criminal charges filed; our Office of Institutional Equity and Equal Opportunity reviews our Student Code of Conduct and racial harassment misconduct.”
“As a community that works wholeheartedly to prevent racist violence, we must also commit to holding people accountable for their actions. The processes we have in place are essential,” he continued.
On Tuesday, Rosing’s lawyer, Fred Peters, told CNN that she plans to withdraw from the UK in the coming days and that she is “very embarrassed, very remorseful, very humiliated”.
Rosing has been charged with intoxication in a public place, fourth-degree assault without visible injury, second-degree disorderly conduct and third-degree assault on a police officer or probation officer, according to attorney Kimberly Baird of the Commonwealth of Fayette County.
