KU also suspends three mens spirit squad members who appear in KKK Snapchat photo

Kansas Athletics suspended a cheerleader Monday following the discovery of a Snapchat photo on her account that mentioned the KKK. On Tuesday, KU Athletics said the three men’s spirit squad members pictured in the photo were also suspended from performing pending a university investigation.

The University of Kansas’ student affairs office is helping KU Athletics with the investigation, which could take another week to resolve.

Associate athletic director Jim Marchiony said Monday that KU officials were made aware of Lili Gagin’s social media posting during the men’s basketball team’s 83-63 victory over UAB. KU Athletics announced that night, referencing a Twitter user who reported the Snapchat photo to the school, that Gagin was suspended from performing, pending an investigation.

Unacceptable. She is suspended from cheering pending formal investigation. This behavior won't be tolerated. Will be dealt w/ appropriately. pic.twitter.com/8Pe8xw6Ebr
