I was asking the question because of the investigation aspect. "Investigation" implies a legal or at least policy aspect of the conduct. Thus if the student athlete who yelled the slur had been black and it came to the attention of the university or got reported to the press, would the guy face disciplinary action? Or is it a given (in university rules of conduct) that a member of a protected class cannot racially insult a member of the same class?
