In About-Face, Syracuse Lifts Suspensions of Protesting Students as They Continue Occupation

Syracuse University (NY) lifted the suspensions of dozens of student protesters on Wednesday amid national attention to their occupation of the private institution’s main administration building. The protesters have been occupying Crouse-Hinds Hall, where the chancellor’s office is located, since Monday. The students are demanding that the New York university follow through on previous promises to crack down on racist incidents that have beset the campus for years. The students have also demanded the resignation of several university officials.
