 Syracuse student under investigation for sexual assault on campus

Story By: The Daily Orange

            Syracuse Police Department reported last Tuesday that a student is under investigation after being accused of sexual assault in Brewster Hall on campus. Sgt. Matthew Malinowski, spokesperson for the SPD, said that the department will not be providing an incident report right now because the investigation is ongoing. For the past week, social media posts made about the sexual assault have been trending.

            While the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act stops universities from putting out educational records of student accused of crimes, it also allows them to release results of the final disciplinary if a student commits a violent crime, including sexual assault. Senior associative vice president for Syracuse University communications, Sarah Scalese, said that the university does not comment on active investigations. However, Scalese said, “Where sufficient evidence exists that a student has engaged in sexual misconduct, our policy is to remove the individual from campus and if the survivor chooses, the case is referred to local law enforcement for criminal prosecution.”

            Seeing that the case just began being investigated a week ago, evidence is still being compiled in order to take fair actions against the suspect if the accusation is true.

  2020 Passion Conference Passion Website:  https://passionconferences.com/      Passion is a movement that had its first ever meeting in 1997. The name stems from its founding place, Passion 268 church. This church in Atlanta, Georgia is pastored by Louis Giglio and he is also the head of the Passion Conferences. I have had the opportunity to go to Passion two years in a row and both years it has been a life changing experience for me.      Passion is the meeting of thousands of college age believers who get to hear from famous Christian music artists as well as many great speakers of the Christian faith. The conferences are usually held over the span of 3 days and lasts throughout New Year’s Eve and Day. Sadly, Passion 2021 was canceled due to COVID-19, so I decided to relive some of my memories from last year by doing my last assignment about it.      Passion 2020 had some of my favorite evangelists come and speak.
