A string of alleged racist incidents took place at Syracuse University last fall, prompting school officials to create new punishments for students accused of various offenses.
As Jonathan Turley, an attorney and professor at the George Washington University Law School, explained, the new rules were implemented after a group calling itself NotAgainSU demanded students who witnessed or were present when racial incidents occurred be expelled. The school’s first diversity and inclusion officer, professor Keith Alford, didn’t accept expulsion as a punishment but did say campus rules would be changed to punish student bystanders.
