A New York Times reporter used a racial slur while leading an official student trip for the paper but remains employed, the company has confirmed.

Donald McNeil Jr. made “offensive remarks, including repeating a racist word in the context of discussing an incident that involved racist language,” editor-in-chief Dean Baquet said in email to staff on Thursday that was leaked and published by news outlets.
