Students and faculty called on Chancellor Kent Syverud to re-open the Advocacy Center as a safe space.

The sun was shining on Hendricks Chapel at noon as a crowd of people began to gather. Some talked quietly among themselves, while others sat silently on the steps with their homemade signs speaking for them: “Survivors need more choices, not less” and “The AC was a safe space!”

Syracuse University students and faculty gathered on the steps of Hendricks Chapel at noon Wednesday for a Rally for Consent. Organized by the Campaign for an Advocacy Center at SU, the rally attracted representatives from several sponsoring organizations and many non-affiliated student supporters.
