It has been once year since the Sigma Alpha Epsilon incident on the University of Oklahoma campus. In March of 2015, members of OU’s Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity were captured in a cell phone video singing a racist chant while on a bus to a fraternity event.

That nine second video went viral on social media, and sparked a fire storm on campus. Students of color at OU had already expressed concerns about race relations on campus, and the video brought those issues into stark relief.

OU president David Boren quickly shut down SAE’s chapter and expelled two students. In the days following the video’s release, a previously scheduled student forum on race took on new significance. During the forum, students shared their thoughts and feelings about the incident, racial identity and conditions on campus.

One year later, many people who attended the forum are still concerned about race relations on campus and improving conditions for students of color including dean of the Price College of Business Daniel Pullin, and Ashley McCray, a doctoral student working to Indigenize OU.
