The Syracuse University administration on Wednesday night offered its final written response to the demands of THE General Body, a coalition of student groups that has staged a sit-in in Crouse-Hinds Hall since Monday, Nov. 3.
The administration had provided three previous written responses to THE General Body’s evolving list of demands. In an email to the SU community, Chancellor Kent Syverud said that Wednesday’s response would be the last. To make significant change, he wrote, the community must move forward.
“To do this best, I believe we and THE General Body should work collaboratively with the duly elected representatives and governing bodies that are currently in place, including the Student Association and the Graduate Student Organization, to bring continued action and resolution to these concerns,” Syverud wrote. “I look forward to being an active participant in this process.”
Closing his email, Syverud additionally offered an apology to those negatively affected by his decision to close the Advocacy Center and cut funding of the Posse Program. An apology regarding the Advocacy Center was one of THE General Body’s demands.
Key points from the administration’s final response include the following:
