Syracuse University Students Hold Sit-In To Protest Racist Graffiti & The Admin's Slow Response

Students at Syracuse University staged a sit in yesterday in protest of what they see as growing racial bigotry on campus and the school's slow response to stemming it.

About 50 students gathered in the Barnes Center at Archbold Gymnasium to call for a safer campus for students of color, particularly black students.

The protest comes after racial slurs were discovered in Day Hall on campus. Students have criticized the administration's response to the incident, calling for more transparency and action.
