one of those officials, rutgers president, robert barchi, admitted he was told what was on the videos week. >> i regret i did not ask to see the video when tim first told me of its existence because i am certain that this situation would have had a very different outcome had i done so. >> reporter: in the press conference, barchi tried to make amends to rutgers gay community. it was just three years ago that student tyler clementi committed suicide after his roommate spied on him during a romantic encounter with a man. >> i also apologize to the lgbt community and all of us who share their values for the homophobic slurs shown on that video. >> reporter: there are calls for barchi to resign, too, but he got a vote of confidence from new jersey governor chris christie in a statement and in person from the school's board of governors. >> i think he's the right person to run this place for many years to come. >> reporter: eric murdoch, the rutgers employee who made the video after he was let go, fired suit against the school for wrongful termination. >> when rutgers finds out something

many members of the rutgers community fired up here today, some holding signs like give barchi the boot. others yelling out, calling for his resignation. there were students we spoke with earlier today who said even though four people have lost their jobs, as a result of this, they believe that barchi should take more ownership and step up to the plate and say that the buck stops with him. there were several heated exchanges today with people here at the town hall and the president. here is one of those exchanges. let's take a look. >> it was not recommended to me by anyone and i didn't overrule anyone regarding dismissal. it may have been internal discussion with the legal people that were present or whatever, but it certainly wasn't recommended to me and i didn't reverse or push back on any decision like that. and i will say that absolutely categorically, and i have to tell you that i'm not covering up for anybody. i have my own ethics to worry about and my own principles and i'm not going to stand up here and cover up anything for anybody. >> can you answer my question, do you believ

it's indicative of president barchi's view of diversity that he only fired coach rice after media attentiono do so. although president barchi is now suggesting otherwise, he has known about coach rice's homophobic, misogynist views, he in essence covered up the coach's actions. >> you were not a fan of the university president before now. but this is a sign that more heads need to roll. >> he has turned rutgers as a place that's less effective pipeline for minority class, working class students. the double impact has been devastating. >> are there two sides to this story? possible another way to look at this? we spoke yesterday to a former player of coach rice. t tyree graham. >> i do respect his respect of basketball. he was passionate about him in the basketball. some of that on the video was in a laughing matter and i wish the audio showed that, and not just him showing the gay slurs. >> is there room for interpretation here? >> not on the videotape. i'm sorry. the slurs he used at the video players, the throwing of the ball at player's head. as a parent, i was a youth coach for many yea
