A student at Oklahoma City University School of Law has been expelled after distributing fliers on campus that read, "It's OK To Be White."

The student was already suspended in October when the fliers appeared and violated the terms of that suspension when he returned to campus, university police told The Oklahoman newspaper. A spokesman for the law school declined Tuesday to identify the expelled student, citing federal privacy laws, but the university issued a statement about the incident.

"The university conducted an investigation with the Oklahoma City Police Department and found that the person responsible was a student who was already under suspension for having previously violated school policy," the statement reads. "The involved student has been expelled for violating the terms of their suspension."

According to campus police, the expelled student is not believed to pose a physical threat to the university or students.

"The reason you look into those types of things is you want to make sure the individual is not a threat to other students," Oklahoma City University Police Director Bill Citty told The Oklahoman. "You have to look into those issues in this date and time. People worry, students worry, staff worry, parents worry. You have to make sure."

The fliers are one of several racially motivated incidents on law campuses in recent years. In October, the word "Trump" and a swastika were spray painted on a side entrance of Yale Law School. Neither the school nor police have announced any arrests in connection to the graffiti. In 2015, vandals placed black tape over the eyes of black law professors' portraits in the hallways of Harvard Law School. Officials never identified the culprits.

The fliers showed up on the outside of the Oklahoma City law school and on doors Oct. 31, and police quickly began looking for the culprit. The student was identified by law school administrators after they reviewed security footage recorded that evening. Once identified, campus police asked the Oklahoma City Police Department to find and interview the student, The Oklahoman reported.

Posting the fliers did not constitute a crime, investigators found. However, returning to campus while under suspension was grounds for the student's expulsion. The student has not been charged with trespassing.

After the fliers were found, Law Dean Jim Roth sent a message to students condemning their message.

"Despite what the intentions of that message may have been, the message reminds me of one fact that I know our community embraces—it's okay to be EVERYBODY," Roth's statement read. "Exclusion and hate will not be tolerated here. You are accepted at OCU Law no matter how you pray, what you look like, or who you love. And you always will be."
