University fo Okahoma-Sigma Alpha Epsilon-Racial Chant

[TSteven]

I guess I'm missing something as well.

As I understand it, Sigma Alpha Epsilon HQ revolked the charter - which I believe happened prior to the Oklahoma president "kicking them off campus". Regardless of the time line, there isn't an OU chapter of SAE to sue. So how would that work? Class action?

And since SAE HQ does not reconize an OU chapter, could that "boost" OU's case that there is "just cause" to have a chapter - that is no longer in "good standing" by their HQ - removed from the house?

I guess I wouldn't presume that the three-sentence story accurately reflects what is going on or may go on. Unfortunately, my experience has taught me to assume that a news story like this probably has gotten it wrong.

It says (without an actual quote) that the attorney said "the group is outraged over President Boren shutting down the fraternity house and branding all SAE members as racists and bigots." I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's members of the chapter who are planning to sue for something like being removed from the house in the middle of the semester (did they have somewhere to go?) without due process or for defamation.

Besides, I wonder if the chapter itself (or former chapter) is a legal entity capable of suing and being sued under Oklahoma law. Kevin?
