The Syracuse Police Department has made an arrest after a series of new graffiti markings were discovered on school grounds, authorities said Thursday.

The announcement came hours after Syracuse Chancellor Ken Syverud agreed to the demands of students protesting the university's handling of a two-week run of almost daily racist, anti-Semitic incidents that have prompted tension on the campus 250 miles north of New York City.

Kym McGowan, 18, was arrested on charges of fourth-degree criminal mischief and marking graffiti, both misdemeanors, police said. She was released on an appearance ticket.

City police said McGowan was connected to four incidents of graffiti in and around a garage and the school's library. That graffiti, however, appeared to be supporting the anti-racism protests on the campus. It was not immediately clear whether the arrest was related to any of the prior incidents.

At least a dozen incidents of graffiti, racist heckling and other issues have been reported to campus police since Nov. 7 at the private, 22,000-student university. Security was tightened across the campus Tuesday after a white supremacist manifesto was posted on a campus forum, prompting fears among some students that a mass shooting could erupt. Syverud later described the incident as a hoax.

Troubling signs here. Anyone with a current student?

I'd wait to see what they find out. These so often turn out to be faked in order to "raise awareness" of racism on campus.

That’s a mighty racist comment.

You misspelled "accurate"

Just words...

I suppose you’d consider a swastika just a drawing.

+1. Happened while my daughter was still at UMich in 2016-17. Three separate incidents led to massive protests and letters from the president...all later proven to be hoaxes by local police.
