SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Sen. Rachel May visited the #NotAgainSU student sit-in at Syracuse University's Barnes Center at the Arch on Saturday morning to speak to students.

May represents New York's 53rd district, which is based around the city of Syracuse in Onondaga County, and stretches to cover all of Madison County and parts of Oneida County.

Her visit comes after students at Syracuse University started a sit-in on Wednesday over the university’s response to racist graffiti found in a dorm.

The graffiti was found at Day Hall on November 7 on the 4th and 6th floors of the dormitory.

Since the sit-in started and news broke of the first incident of racist graffiti found on campus, more racist graffiti and messages have been found.

The sit-in is representative of a student-led movement that's been dubbed #NotAgainSU, which students say is a Black student-led movement that is calling for transparency and safety for students on campus.

The movement issued a list of short-term and long-term demands to the University and say if they’re not met by Wednesday, Nov. 20, they will ask for the resignation of Chancellor Kent Syverud and Chief Inclusion Officer Keith Alford.

"This is my neighborhood, my district, my constituents, and it's a really important action that's taking place in my district so I want to be here listening," May said. "I don't think the chancellor is the problem. There's a bigger picture that's the problem and I honestly hope that he's willing to be part of the change."
