AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - A student implicated in a case at Texas A&M University where racial slurs were allegedly used against a group of black high school students touring the campus is "no longer associated" with the university, the school said on Wednesday.

Texas A&M would offer no further details about the student due to privacy rules. It added no criminal charges would be brought in the February incident that raised questions about pockets of intolerance at one of the state's biggest universities.

University President Michael Young, who has described the incident as heartbreaking and intolerable, called on the university community to renew its respect for inclusion and diversity.

"We are launching our students into a world where they will need to work with everyone to be successful in addressing the great societal challenges that we, as a country, face," he said in a statement.

4. Thanks for your concern.

No, I won't. Unfortunately, Texas has a many-decades long history of disgruntled students returning to their colleges with handguns/rifles and shooting people, sometimes randomly, sometimes targeted individuals.

It's an "If the shoe fits, wear it" type of situation.

But don't get me wrong; I certainly hope it doesn't occur.
