USC President Carol Folt said in a statement "the occupation was spiraling in a dangerous direction over the last several days," leading her to request police intervention.

"This may be Biden's Vietnam," Sanders said. "The racist actions in the video were those of an individual and are antithetical to the values of Phi Delta Theta," the fraternity's Ohio-based general headquarters said in a statement on Sunday.
