    The University of Oklahoma announced Tuesday the expulsion of two students identified as playing 'leadership' roles in the racist chant that was caught on video that led to a fraternity's banishment from campus.

    President David Boren said in a statement that the investigation is ongoing and once other students are identified, "they will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action."

    Boren has been swift with his condemnation of the video and banished the fraternity from campus. The students were likely expelled for violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits racial discrimination. The video, which was posted online, shows several people on a bus participating in a chant that included a racial slur, referenced lynching and indicated black students would never be admitted to OU's chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon.
