2:00 A year-long review of Syracuse University's Department of Public Safety found that officers fell short in their response to hate crimes on the campus and following protests. Racist messages found in residence halls sparked the #notagain SU movement in November of 2019, where students held sit ins for several weeks in campus buildings. Administrators and DPS officers were harshly criticized for not handling the matter in a comprehensive, sensitive, and transparent way as the racist incidents continued without arrests. Student frustration mounted into February when DPS was condemned for its response to the occupation of the Crouse-Hinds Administration building. Lynch and her team reviewed more than 20,000 documents, and interviewed 77 witnesses, including students, DPS officers, and administrators in its investigation. They confirmed that many of the actions taken in response to the racist incidents did not recognize students fear or distress. The report also found DPS responses to actions to be subjective and arbitrary.
