Ole Miss has launched an investigation into the white women who were caught on camera making racist monkey noises and gestures outside of an apartment shared by three black students, the university confirmed.

Shawnboda Mead, the vice chancellor for student affairs at the University of Mississippi, branded the viral video “deeply troubling, hurtful, and unacceptable.”

She said the behavior “does not reflect our university’s values or the kind of community we strive to be every day.”

Mead said the incident is being actively investigated by the  university.

“We are committed to following our established processes to ensure a thorough review while prioritizing the safety and well-being of our campus community,” the statement read.

“Racism and actions that disparage people because of an aspect of their identity have no place in our campus community.”
