In a number of disturbing events, students have encountered graffiti targeting black, Asian, and Jewish students, and a black female student was verbally accosted by fraternity members.
What prompted the student sit-in? Students critical of what they saw as the university’s attempts to cover up the incident organized a day-long sit-in under the name #NotAgainSU on Wednesday, November 13, to demand more severe action to condemn racism on campus.
What other incidents of racism have occurred since? Between November 14 and November 16, multiple swastikas have been discovered drawn on campus, as well as more instances of anti-Asian graffiti. Racial epithets were reportedly also hurled at a Chinese student and at black students in separate instances.
The latest incident occurred on Tuesday, November 19, when the Christchurch shooter’s manifesto was Air-dropped from an unknown person to a group of students studying in Bird Library. It was first posted online late Monday night on a forum about Greek life at Syracuse. As the email circulated, Professor Genevieve García de Müeller, who is Mexican and Jewish, received a threatening anti-semitic and racist email telling her to “get in the oven where you belong.
