In an earlier incident, a professor compared the phrase"OK, boomer" to using the racial slur during a class lecture.A professor at the University of Oklahoma has recently come under fire for repeatedly using the N-word while reading from a historical document during a class lecture. It was the second time a professor at the university received criticism for using the racial slur in a class this month.

The university’s interim president Joseph Harroz issued a letter on Monday to the university community, addressing the incident. Harroz did not name the professor but added that the teacher gave students in class a “trigger warning” before reciting the racial slur. “While she could have made the point without reciting the actual word, she chose otherwise,” Harroz wrote. “Her issuance of a ‘trigger warning’ before her recitation does not lessen the pain caused by the use of the word.”

He continued, noting that it’s “common sense to avoid uttering the most offensive word in the English language, especially in an environment where the speaker holds the power.”
