She got answers from the university within two hours of her post.

The worker responsible for the slur has been fired, said UNT retail dining services executive director Bill McNeace, in an interview with North Texas TV.

"We found out that it was not the cashier, it was actually the cook who did it," McNeace said. "The cook came out and apologized to the manager. The cook, though, his employment has been terminated. As soon as we found out we let the person go."

Shaw and several other UNT students Tweeted directly at UNT president Neal Smatresk in response to her initial tweet.

Smatresk responded to the student as well.

"Our Mean Green family values respect and prides itself on inclusion," Smatresk said in a tweet. "It is completely unacceptable and not who we are as a community. We acted immediately to identify the person responsible and that person has been terminated."

He followed up in a separate tweet, saying, "I'd be happy to meet with you."

Shaw did not immediately respond for comment.
