Interim president of the University of Oregon Patrick Phillips issued a statement condemning the vulgar, anti-Mormon chant from the student section during last week’s game against BYU.
Phillips, who has been the school’s interim president for one month, penned a letter to “University of Oregon community members” in which he condemned the chant and said: “It angers me. It disgusts me.”
Multiple videos posted to social media on Saturday night showed some fans in an area of Autzen Stadium where a portion of the Oregon student section is typically located shouting a vulgar anti-Mormon chant.
