Former U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch has been hired to conduct a review of the Syracuse University (SU) campus police department, as student protestors’ sit-in occupation of an administrative building continues into a new week.
The move comes after the university temporarily suspended more than 30 students last week for refusing to leave the Crouse-Hinds Hall past closing hours. The sit-in occupation is part of #NotAgainSU’s ongoing protest against “hate crimes and bias incidents” that have occurred on or near the New York school’s campus since November 2019, according to student newspaper The Daily Orange.
