The incident comes just weeks after Syracuse was plagued by a series of bias incidents. In November, racist graffiti was found on campus and racial slurs were found in a school residence hall. The incidents ignited widespread protest on campus, and students of color expressed fears for their safety on campus. 

The school suspended all fraternity social events for the rest of the semester in response to one of the racist incidents, and released an action plan in November after student protests called for revising the Student Code of Conduct to make clear the consequences of spreading hate speech, requiring diversity training for new faculty and staff, and recruiting and training more international and multilingual resident advisers.
