Wednesday night, students marched out of Hendricks Chapel after Chancellor Kent Syverud didn't sign their list of demands.  Overnight, he signed and agreed to 16 of the 19 demands.

In the midst of last night's protest, a student was arrested for painting graffiti in support of protestors. The graffiti was found in and around Irving Garage and Bird Library.

Police were notified of a criminal mischief incident around 1 p.m. on Wednesday after a series of new graffiti markings were discovered on campus. The Department of Public Safety was able to develop suspect information was able to locate the suspect.

According to Syracuse Police, Kym McGowan, 18, of Syracuse, was taken into custody for a charge of criminal mischief in the fourth degree and making graffiti — both misdemeanors.

"It's unclear how that's going to reflect on us and it's unclear," said Syracuse University student Maysam Seraji.

Police said based on statements made, it appears the graffiti was intended to be in support of the campus protests that have taken place in response to a series of racist graffiti and hate speech that have been reported on campus for more than a week now.

Thursday students continued to occupy the Barnes Center as the Department of Public Safety announced four other incidents involving racist graffiti.

Two of the incidents occurred in Day Hall - one on the fifth floor and another on the sixth. Both used derogatory langauage towards African Americans.

The third incident occurred on the first floor of Flint Hall. A post-it note was found with anti-Native American language.

The fourth incident occurred at Comstock Art facility. Graffiti was found containing racist language that is derogatory to Asians.

"We as the police department support the public's right to having a peaceful protest and expressing themselves just something we won't tolerate is the damaging or marking of other people's property," said Syracuse Police Department Sgt. Malinowski. 

Police are still criminally investigating three incidents, one involving a White Supremacist Manifesto.

The chancellor said the report of the manifesto being sent to students was a hoax-- police can't confirm that.

The second incident involves a swastika drawn in the snow on Comstock Avenue. The third is an incident where a professor of Mexican and Jewish descent received a threatening email using a racial slur.

Though police aren't leading the investigation on other graffiti incidents, they say DPS can make arrests in their investigations.
