^^^^I have to agree that the use of that word in particular is abhorrent as a derogatory slur. However, as much I personally dislike the word and its connotations, there are some circles where it is widely used (hip hop culture for an example). So, the situation would have needed to be reviewed.

I also believe that President Witt took a proactive stance so this incident would not get out of hand. I do not think that he would have done this simply on a he said/she said basis.
