Syracuse University continues to make news after a string of racial and bias incidents, and as some students continue protesting in the Barnes Center, others say they fear for their safety.

"Do I want to go home? Yes. Do I feel like I can go home? No,” said a Syracuse senior who wished to remain anonymous.

The Syracuse University student explained through tears how fearful she is since the spike in racial and bias incidents on campus. It's another facet of fearing for her safety.

"It's hard to teach someone how to be empathetic towards someone," she said.

The initial incident happened in Day Hall on November 7. It involved bathroom vandalism on two floors and racial slurs in graffiti.

After that racial graffiti was found in the Psychics Building bathroom, more graffiti in a Day Hall bathroom and a swastika in the snow.

Then on Saturday, six more incidents were reported in the span of eight hours.

The most jarring involving a black female student being called a racial slur by a large passing group of students including fraternity members and guests.

"This is our safety. That girl doesn't feel safe, I don't feel safe. A lot of people don't feel safe," another student said.

The fraternity involved was allegedly Alpha Chi Rho. The fraternity was suspended and the SU Chancellor later suspended social activities for all fraternities for the rest of the semester, and released a video addressed to the campus community.

The administration is also offering a $50,000 award leading to an arrest in the incident.

Other incidents involved another shouting of a racial slur in a residence hall, a hateful email, and more graffiti targeting Asian and black people.

"But sometimes I feel confused and a bit angry because some of my friends like are living in Day Hall of Haven Hall and they are targets of these things," the student said.

Students are planning to continue their sit-in until Wednesday at 5 p.m. By that point they're expecting Chancellor Kent Syverud to agree to and sign their list of demands.
