Syracuse Announces New Efforts on Race Relations

Syracuse University announced on Friday new actions to address campus race relations and equity. The university made national news in November for the “two weeks of hate” the campus experienced, when 16 separate racist or anti-Semitic incidents were reported, spurring student protests. The hate crimes and other incidents, which students and faculty said occurred regularly at the university and stretch back decades, also attracted the attention of New York’s governor, Andrew Cuomo.
