Anti-Semitic threat sent to Syracuse University faculty member, chancellor vows action on 'hateful incidents.'
The chancellor emotionally recalled a time years ago when he worked in the South while raising his mixed-race family. Syverud said the perpetrators who sent his wife and children threats were never found.
He went on to say that no person on campus should be afraid because of who they are and that the school now has a team ready to respond to further incidents. Syracuse University students participate in a campus sit-in after the school experienced a series of racist incidents., including Jewish, Asian and black members of Syracuse community. There have been at least 12 episodes since Nov. 6, including anti-Asian and anti-black slurs graffitied in residence halls and a swastika in a snow bank near an apartment complex where students live.
Students have held protests that began with a sit-in on Wednesday where they objected to the administration's handling of the incidents.
