Syracuse University has suspended all fraternity social activities after members of one chapter were connected to an alleged racial epithet.
Three other incidents were reported Saturday in addition to the incident connected to the fraternity.
A Chinese student filed a report saying he'd been called a racial slur as he exited a residence hall on Friday night. And an anti-Asian slur and a swastika were found in separate occurrences at a different campus residence, Haven Hall, according to the Daily Orange. Syverud said in his statement Sunday that a university donor offered a reward for evidence leading to suspects in the vandalism cases.where he said he directed the state's hate crime task force to assist the university's investigation.
"I'm disgusted by the recent rash of hateful language found scrawled on the walls at Syracuse University, where students from around the world are drawn each year in the pursuit of higher learning," Cuomo said. Students also staged a sit-in Wednesday with signs directed at the chancellor saying,"Where is Kent?" They submitted a series of demands to administrators, including that any student involved with the recent hate crimes be expelled, the school's current anti-harassment policy be revised, new staff and faculty undergo mandatory diversity training and the option for same-race roommate selection on housing applications for all students.
