Syracuse U Says Report of Supremacist Screed Was Likely Hoax
Syracuse University’s chancellor says reports that a white supremacist manifesto was sent to some students’ cellphones at a campus library ‘was probably a hoax’.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Reports that a white supremacist manifesto was sent to some Syracuse University students’ cellphones was likely a hoax, the chancellor said Wednesday while adding that the school fell short in responding to a string of racist incidents.

News of the screed — which authorities had described as an apparent copy of on one written by a man accused of killing 51 people at two mosques in New Zealand in March — had been the latest episode to shake the central New York campus this month after a series of bigoted graffiti and verbal slurs.

But authorities haven’t been able to find anyone who directly received the manifesto, Chancellor Kent Syverud told the University Senate on Wednesday.
