LEXINGTON, Ky. — Sophia Rosing has been permanently suspended from the campus of the University of Kentucky after an incident involving a student desk clerk in a campus dormitory on Sunday, Nov. 6. 

University President Eli Capiluto made the announcement to the entire campus in Wednseday afternoon. "Ms. Rosing is no longer a student at the University of Kentucky. Within hours of learning about this incident, we suspended her on an interim basis — a move that banned her from campus during our investigation," Capiluto said. 

"I have also determined that she will not be eligible to re-enroll as a student. She is permanently banned from the campus." The incident was captured and shared on social media. In the video, Rosing is seen berating the student desk clerk, Kylah Spring, with racial slurs in the lobby of Boyd Hall. She was arrested by police and escorted out of the building. Rosing is accused of assaulting and berating Sping. She was arraigned Monday and through her attorney entered a not guilty plea. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Nov. 15. 

Students on campus responded with hundreds rallying on campus Monday night, marching and chanting "Protect Black women" and "Speak up, UK." During the rally, Spring told the crowd that she was sad about what happened but that justice would come. She also addressed the woman who is accused of assaulting her. “You will not break my spirit and you will be held accountable for your actions,” she said. “I only pray that you open your heart to love and try to experience life differently and more positively after this.”

Capiluto made it clear that the incident goes against the values of the university. "I want to emphasize that this behavior was disgusting and devastating to our community," he said. 

Rosing is charged with first and second offenses of public intoxication, third-degree assault of a police officer, fourth-degree assault and second-degree disorderly conduct, according to the Fayette County Detention Center website.
