Two University of Oklahoma students apologize for racist video

NORMAN, Okla. — Two former University of Oklahoma students publicly apologized Tuesday for a video posted on Twitter last week.

One of the girls on the video was in black face and made a racial slur.

The university released the statements from Frances Ford and Olivia Urban.

Ford says the video was "insensitive and irresponsible."

Urban called the video "the most regrettable decision of my life" and says there's no excuse for such behavior "in private or public."

University President James Gallogly announced Monday that both women had voluntarily withdrawn from campus.

Students held a rally on campus Tuesday demanding action from campus administrators.
