North Dakota Frat Probed in Alleged Assault, Anti-Gay Taunts
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Sep 3, 2015, 12:33 PM ET
A University of North Dakota fraternity chapter has been placed on limited operations pending a police investigation into whether a gay man was assaulted and subjected to taunts about his sexual orientation.
The alleged incident reportedly happened at the Lambda Chi Alpha house in Grand Forks last weekend. The University of North Dakota and Grand Forks police departments are investigating, school president Robert Kelley said Wednesday.
Kelley sent a letter to University of North Dakota students, saying that although the school didn't know all of the details, he was deeply concerned by the report. He said the incident is even more disconcerting given that it followed the city's recent gay pride celebration.
"I want to be very clear: violent behavior of this nature is not tolerated at UND," Kelly said. "Any student or student organization found to have violated the UND Code of Student Life will be subject to disciplinary action."
