BOULDER, Colo. – On Sunday, the University of Colorado Boulder chancellor and athletic director released a joint statement condemning a student chant that targeted Mormons during CU Boulder’s football game against Brigham Young University (BYU).
According to community members who attended the game, several students chanted “F*** the Mormons” and said other hateful statements throughout the game.
In their statement, Chancellor Justin Schwartz and Athletic Director Rick George said:
The University of Colorado Boulder strongly condemns the use of expletives and religious slurs by individuals in the stands during the recent football game against BYU. Such behavior is deeply disappointing and does not reflect the values of respect, inclusion and integrity we expect of our campus community.
