All social activities of fraternities at Syracuse University have been suspended for the remainder of the fall semester following the latest in a string of incidents involving racism, according to a letter from Chancellor Kent Syverud posted to the university website Sunday.
The last day of the fall semester is December 13. Syverud's decision is in response to a report by an African-American student who says she was"subjected to a verbal racial epithet from a group of students and visitors" on campus near College Place, according to the statement. This investigation marks the sixth such incident involving reports of racist symbols and language on campus in the last 10 days.
