NORMAN, Okla. -- Dozens of students at the University of Oklahoma have ended a sit-in outside the university's administrative offices following two instances of professors using racial slurs in the classroom.
The three-day sit-in organized by the Black Emergency Response Team, known as BERT, ended Friday with the student group saying that progress had been made.
OU Dean of Students David Surratt said in a statement Friday that the students “raised legitimate concerns” and their demands “were actually solutions” the university has included in a strategic plan to be presented to OU regents.
