STATEMENT ON RACIAL ATTACKS ON SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

We stand in support of the student body and their protest along with their 19 very specific demands. While, to date, the Chancellor has signed off on 16 of those demands, we believe the protest should continue until all have been met. The University’s small steps have not instilled confidence in the students, alumni, or parents of Syracuse University students, despite Chancellor Syverud’s best efforts.
