- The University of Kentucky student seen in a viral video shouting racial slurs at Black students has been banned from campus.
- Sophia Rosing, 22, had been arrested in connection with the caught-on-camera campus incident.
The University of Kentucky student accused of a racist attack against Black pupils has been permanently banned from the campus over behavior that the college slammed as "disgusting and devastating to our community."
Sophia Rosing, 22, who was charged in the caught-on-camera campus incident, is no longer a student at the school and won't be eligible to ever re-enroll there, University of Kentucky President Eli Capilouto said in a Tuesday statement.
"We stand by our students who were targeted by this unacceptable hostility and violence," Capilouto said.
The viral video posted on social media shows Rosing — who is white — repeatedly shouting a racial slur during a physical altercation with two Black students, including a student employee, at the college's Boyd Hall over the weekend.
Rosing was arrested by University of Kentucky police and charged with alcohol intoxication in a public place, assault, assault on a police officer, and disorderly conduct shortly after the early Sunday incident.
Police allege Rosing bit a cop and told the officer she has "lots of money" and gets "special treatment."
"Although she is no longer a student, we must continue our investigations," Capilouto said, explaining, "That includes our cooperation with an investigation into criminal charges filed."
He added, "Further charges could be forthcoming based on these investigations."
