#BlackLivesMatter creator to speak at SU next month

By Michael Burke asst. news editor

The co-creator of the Twitter hashtag and social movement Black Lives Matter will speak in Hendricks Chapel next month, Syracuse University has announced.

Alicia Garza will be the commemorative speaker for the Office of Multicultural Affairs’ monthlong event series in honor of Black

History Month, according to an SU News release. Garza will speak on Feb. 23 at 7 p.m., according to the release.

Garza took to Facebook in 2013 after George Zimmerman, a Florida neighborhood watch volunteer, was acquitted that same year of murder in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager, in 2012.

Garza’s post that day included

a message to black people “that black lives matter,” according to USA TODAY. Then, Garza’s friend and another co-creator, Patrisse Cullors, turned it into a hashtag — #BlackLivesMatter — igniting an activist movement that continues today.

The movement is “a call to action and a response to the virulent antiBlack racism that permeates our society,” according to the Black

Lives Matter website.

In addition to leading the Black Lives Matter movement, Garza is also currently the special projects director for the National Domes-

TATTOO tuesday | kenny lacy

Junior’s tattoo shows loyalty to SU sports

By Leah Meyers contributing writer

When the NCAA sanctions came down against Syracuse University’s men’s basketball team, Kenny Lacy decided there was no better time to show his loyalty — so he decided to get a tattoo.

While he had originally hoped to get the tattoo when SU won a national championship, he went for it earlier than anticipated and had the Syracuse logo tattooed on his right shoulder over Spring Break 2015.

The tattoo was done at local Utica tattoo shop, Eternal Images, and depicts the classic Syracuse “S.” It’s just like the one printed on the middle of the court in the Carrier Dome or found on a t-shirt at the SU bookstore.

The bright orange “S” is outlined in a bold navy blue and it stands out, taking up most of Lacy’s shoulder. Written above the “S” in a smaller font and curved fashion is the word “Syracuse.”

Lacy’s love of SU basketball didn’t just start when he arrived at the university. Growing up only an hour

away from SU in Utica, New York, Lacy, the junior African American studies major said that his family has always supported SU. “My first memory of the team was sneaking to stay up late to watch the team win the national championship when I was in second grade,” Lacy said. “Ever since, I’ve just always been in love with the team.”

Lacy hasn’t missed watching a Syracuse University men’s basketball game — whether in person or on TV for games that were too far away — since 2008, he said. Now that he’s at SU, he’s attended every single home game in person.

Lacy said that if Syracuse ever won a national championship, he would add a tattoo of the year that the team won the title, reflecting the inspiration for his original tattoo.

While that dream may not happenthis year, Lacy is still happy to see Jim Boeheim returning to the court as head coach.

Said Lacy: “I have faith that the team will make the NCAA Tournament and get to at least the Round of 32.” lmeyers@syr.edu

Sportswriter reflects on career experience

By Kenneth Mintz staff writer

Sportswriter Bob Ryan has two keys to success, he told Syracuse University students Monday: fairness and sports expertise.

Ryan, who retired from The Boston Globe in 2012 after 44 years as a sportswriter, shared his illustrious career on Monday with the audience at the I-3 Center inside the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. Ryan also described his unusually straightforward path to sports journalism fame.

“Do your homework,” he said about becoming thorough with sports history. “Treat it like an academic discipline.”

Ryan knew when it was time to retire from his job at The Boston Globe. He said he was glad he was able to keep his relationship with local television and ESPN.

Ryan continues to write a few times per month for The Boston Globe in his retirement. He often plays a role on ESPN’s “Around the Horn,” serves as a regular guest on “The Sports Reporters”

Do your homework.

Treat it like an academic discipline.

Bob Ryan sportswriter

and sometimes guest hosts “Pardon the Interruption” with Tony Kornheiser or Michael Wilbon.

The National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association selected Ryan into the Sportswriter Hall of Fame in 2011. He acknowledged the organization

for bringing him together with great names within the industry.

Forging a path toward the limelight from a young age, Ryan said he would regularly attend Friday night high school basketball games and would read the morning newspaper the following day.

“Most 7-year-olds aren’t like this,” he said, admitting he was “programmed” to find a place for himself in the profession.

After dabbling in both writing and broadcasting, he found his forte. He worked stints on television, but he said he enjoyed the independent nature of the newspaper industry, where he could cover a game and write the story in the comfort of his home.

“But I am a writer, and that is what I want to be known as,” read one of his well-known quotes featured on posters advertising the event.

“Bob Ryan is the best basket-

ball writer of all time,” said Drew Carter, a freshman broadcast and digital journalism student who is also a contributing writer for The Daily Orange.

Growing up within a generation that rarely reads game recaps, Carter said he recognized there is something different about Ryan’s writing ability that catches his attention.

“I got to meet one of my writing heroes, and I learned a ton about the industry,” said Carter, who was “so happy” he decided to attend.

Growing up in the Boston area, Ryan attended Boston College after being rejected from Yale University and Williams College, he said. At Boston College, he assisted in the Sports Information Department by writing player profiles for the basketball team.

New York state Gov. Andrew Cuomo has announced new regulations that ban employers — including Syracuse University — from discriminating and harassing transgender people.

Cuomo became the first executive in the United States to issue statewide regulations prohibiting

harassment and discrimination on the basis of gender identity, transgender status or gender dysphoria, according to a release from Cuomo’s office.

The governor’s most recent announcement — made on Jan. 20 — upholds that transgender individuals are protected under New York state’s Human Rights Law, according to the release.

All public and private employ-

ers, housing providers, businesses, creditors and others should know that discrimination against

Cuomo sets protections for transgender people

By Sara Swann

A Syracuse University student was the victim of an armed robbery on Monday around 5:40 p.m. in the 100 block of Remington Avenue, police said.

The student was approached by four preteen or teenage males and was tackled to the ground, according to an email sent by the Department of Public Safety on Monday night. The suspects then stole $23 from the student’s pockets and fled on foot in a northwest direction on Remington Avenue, away from the SU campus, according to the email.

The student received minor cuts to his elbow and forehead, according to the email. One of the male suspects had been holding what appeared to be a black handgun, according to the email. The gun was pointed down toward the ground during the robbery, according to the email.

The four male suspects wore dark clothing, according to the email. No further description was provided.

transgender people is “unlawful and will not be tolerated anywhere in the state of New York,” according to the release.

“Today we are sending the message loud and clear that New York will not stand for discrimination against transgender people,” Cuomo said in the release.

“It is intolerable to allow harassment or discrimination against anyone, see cuomo page 8

Cuomo’s prison reform proposal reflects Republican values

S

urprisingly, Gov. Andrew Cuomo is leading New York state down the right path when it comes to prison reform and education, but Democrats shouldn’t get all the credit.

Earlier this month Cuomo pledged an initiative to close down more state prisons and improve the education system for inmates. As institutions, United States prisons are in desperate need of help, and while politicians on both sides of the aisle feel similarly when it comes to America’s mass incarceration rates, it is important to acknowledge that strong Republicans have blazed the trail.

Prominent figures including Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, and presidential hopeful Jeb Bush have supported the Right on Crime campaign against out-of-control incarceration.

The Right on Crime campaign is similar to Cuomo’s initiative, just a little more in-depth when it comes areas including overcriminalization, juvenile justice and substance abuse.

The Vera Institute of Justice reported in 2012 that the U.S. spent a massive $39 billion in taxpayer money on prisons. In New York state alone, the average cost per inmate paid by taxpayers was more than $60,000, according to fiscal year 2010 data collected by the Vera Institute. But U.S. citizens don’t just pay to keep dangerous criminals off the street, they pay for every type of felon — an important fact Cuomo has acknowledged.

Cuomo is working to pardon 10,000 people who were nonviolent offenders in their youth if they maintained a clean record for 10 years, which is the perfect first

KYLE O’CONNOR CALM, COOL AND CONSERVATIVE

step toward relieving taxpayers and should pose as an example for a country that needs to function more efficiently. In this way New York should exemplify that a state can still be secure without hemorrhaging money that would be spent better in other areas.

It’s important to note that there is nothing conservative about heavy taxation.

While some imperative government services are funded through taxpayer dollars, the prison system is a black hole that sucks in a disproportionate amount due to mass incarceration tactics.

Texas attorney, conservative and Right on Crime co-founder and policy director, Marc Levin, is touted as one of the first public figures to have acknowledged this problem and spearheaded a movement against wrongful incarceration and overfunded prisons.

Levin realized that it didn’t make sense as conservatives to support an outdated system that was ravaging taxpayers’ pockets.

Levin’s own state of Texas was about to spend $2 billion in 2007 on more prison beds before he intervened and proposed a much cheaper plan that created drug and mental health rehabilitation programs.

According to Mother Jones, “Texas’ incarceration rate has fallen nearly 20 percent.”

That was a turnaround much greater than the country average of 5 percent.

While prison must still be an extremely

unpleasant place to be, inmates should be given access to educational resources. Many studies including the RAND Corporation report have shown that providing inmates with education opportunities betters their life prospects after prison in terms of employment and lowering the chances of getting locked up again.

Shana Gadarian, an assistant political science professor in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University, said, “Taxpayers pay when we have high recidivism rates.”

As acknowledged by Gadarian, a criminal record makes it incredibly hard to get most jobs. However, moving to concentrate resources on aiding nonviolent offenders to get back on their feet so that they can contribute to the economy rather than spend unproductive time in a cell will assist in closing this gap.

The implementation of these programs under Cuomo goes further when it comes to strengthening the economy in a conservative fashion: protecting the taxpayer with private funding.

According to The New York Times, $7.5 million in funding for Cuomo’s new inmate

college program has come from Manhattan district attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. as well as other private investors, a move secured by working with Republicans.

In this way, Cuomo’s move is impressive because it shows that he is willing to give the taxpayer a break. With the new plan, he is wisely looking to Wall Street instead of the people who are struggling to pay for their own bills and higher education costs, something he, unsuccessfully, tried out not long ago.

The state of New York has finally come to its senses regarding prison reform. Now the United States needs to embrace the conservative ideals that will aid inmates and ease taxpayer pain — a hopeful future, considering this issue has become increasingly bipartisan.

But conservatives have a key role to play in forging ahead to uphold this progress and retain these values moving forward. They have set a standard for liberal politicians such as Cuomo, something that deserves more credit in Washington.

NY boldly takes on faulty food labels Maxwell search fosters strong example for SU

I

n an age where locavores run rampant, juice cleanses are trendy and Whole Foods seems to be the bourgeois supermarket of choice, “all natural,” “pesticide-free” and “hormonefree” labels are more prevalent in pantries than ever before.

But what you see is not what you get. The term “all natural” has no legal definition. That’s right — the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, a federal agency with immense authority over food label regulation, has nothing more than a vague guideline for what constitutes a natural product: one in which nothing has been included in, or added to, “a food that would not normally be expected to be in that food,” as defined by the FDA website.

New York state Gov. Andrew Cuomo, however, brought this little known issue to the forefront in his State of the State address earlier this month when he proposed new goals to define and regulate terms like “natural” and “pesticide-free” on food labels. It will be voluntary — at least at first — and farmers who participate will be given a “New York Certified High Quality” seal of approval.

This push for transparency by New York state should set a precedent for every state government.

The people deserve to know what’s going into their bodies, a right that is long overdue in the face of a generation with a growing concern for healthy living.

One in four millennials are already parents, and according to a study by research group Produce for Better Health, are likely to place local produce at the center of their kids’ diet. Cuomo is tapping into a value that millennials hold to ensure a clarity and culture for ourselves and future generations of healthy eaters.

But, in recent years, the FDA has been reluctant to address the

JOANNA ORLAND

NOTHING LEFT UNSAID controversy regarding the word “natural” on labels. In a 2014 letter, the agency explicitly explained that they chose not to define the buzzword because they have not been able to prioritize the issue.

The U.S. Food and Drug Admin istration uses “all natural”

to classify products in which “nothing artificial or synthetic

(including all color additives

regardless of source) has been

included in, or has been added

to, a food that would not normally be expected to be in that food,” according to its website.

The FDA’s lack of involvement has led to approximately 50 private lawsuits filed against companies for their misleading labels between 2004 and 2014, as estimated by Stephen Gardner of the Center for Science in the Public Interest.

When Cuomo decides to define the term “natural,” however, he will be having the final say on a philosophical discussion. Essentially, all food we eat is not in its innate form, so who’s to say when the modification becomes too much to deem it natural? It might be in the best interest of consumers to do away with such a term, and stick with more specific ones: “GMO-free,” “pesticide-free,” “hormone-free.”

The U.S. expects its citizens to make the best choices for themselves. But if a citizen’s literacy of food labels is their way of making the best choice for him or herself, and they can’t trust what’s put before them, then they are lost, with nowhere to turn.

For Cuomo’s initiative to gain

traction, it needs the participation of farmers and New York food producers. The proposal requests a budget of $2 million to be approved by the legislature, which has yet to be drafted, according to the governor’s spokesman. By making New York a leader in this fight for transparency, the governor will be setting the standard for other states and the nation as a whole. With that, he needs to tread carefully.

The mainstay of opposition stems from the opinion that government should not interfere with business. Yet keeping citizens safe requires particularly stringent and standardized regulation, so the government should not shy away from guiding people through the rubble of misleading claims.

The insufficient and long overdue attention that this murky problem warrants has long passed the threshold for businesses to handle on their own.

When it comes to health, safety and belief, it is the job of the government to protect its citizens in a way that businesses cannot. In the meantime, businesses can take responsibility and assess their ethics when it comes to marketing “natural” products.

The power struggle between the U.S. Congress and the FDA to act on this issue has created stagnancy, as any legislation passed in Congress may undermine the actions of the FDA when they choose to define the term. Thus, state leaders are forced to take the matter into their own hands.

Very few have, but Cuomo is making an effort that will mark New York state as a pioneer in this new realm of regulation.

The ongoing search for a new dean for the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs should serve as a model for the rest of Syracuse University as several institutions on campus, including the College of Visual and Performing Arts and Hendricks Chapel, move to secure their future leadership.

Over the course of the past week, the Maxwell dean search committee hosted a series of seven town hall meetings, each specifically geared toward concentrating on the opinions of different factions within the Maxwell School, including Maxwell graduate and undergraduate students, faculty, staff and the greater SU community.

The search is a result of Maxwell Dean James Steinberg’s Sept. 1 announcement that he will be stepping down at the end of this academic year to become a University Professor at Maxwell.

Prior to his position at Maxwell, Steinberg served as deputy secretary of state to former Secretary of State and presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton from 2009 until his resignation in 2011.

The search committee’s emphasis on balance, open dialogue and its willingness to identify and provide a constructive outlet for the primary stakeholders in the ultimate decision should be reciprocated by other university bodies on campus.

Creating these opportunities for students, staff and faculty upholds strong communication among the community and helps contribute relevant viewpoints in the pursuit of a candidate that is best suited for the school in question.

These forums found that while Maxwell students appear to be more concerned about the rising dean being able to cultivate

scribble

a stronger culture within the school, faculty and staff placed more emphasis on the lack of financial transparency within Maxwell and a desire to have the new dean come from a background that is not based in politics or law.

Like other university-hosted dialogue spaces on campus, these sessions provide the infrastructure needed to generate a rounded perspective from those who engage most with the school on a day-to-day basis. Reaching out to members of the specific school’s community, making these options available to its members and maintaining this democratic form of discussion is an important value for any aspect of campus working to solidify new leadership.

During the different town halls, various community members expressed concern with Steinberg’s tenure as dean and brought up traits they wish to see in a new dean. While these sentiments should be taken with a grain of salt, considering Steinberg has upheld the school’s prestige, raised nearly $27 million in donations for the school and established the Center for Qualitative and MultiMethod Inquiry and the Aging Studies Institute, these details cited by the community should contribute to a more pointed search for a new dean.

Each factor should be taken into consideration as the university approaches selecting and hiring a candidate. But as a university-wide goal of actively seeking out the community’s thoughts, concerns and suggestions, the Maxwell search committee has set a standard at a time when influential leadership decisions are being made that will guide the future of SU and its respective institutions for years to come.

New York state launches student clean air competition

By Michael Burke asst. news editor

A competition launched by New York state Gov. Andrew Cuomo allowing student groups from colleges and universities in the state to construct plans for clean energy programs has begun accepting applications.

The “Energy to Lead Competition,” launched last week by Cuomo, is part of the governor’s “Reforming the Energy Vision,” a plan that seeks to build “a clean, resilient and affordable energy system for all New Yorkers,” according to a release from Cuomo’s office.

The plan aims to engage “energy leaders of the future” in order for New York state to achieve the goal it has set to decrease greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent, generat-

ing 50 percent of electricity from renewable energy resources and reducing the energy consumption of buildings by 23 percent by 2030, according to the release.

$1 million The amount the winning group of the competition will receive for its clean energy project The competition is accepting project proposals from “student-led coalitions” that describe how the project would reduce greenhouse gas emissions on campus and in local communities, according to the release.

“This competition will engage our future leaders today in this fight against climate change,” Cuomo said in the release.

The winning group will receive $1 million to go toward the project, according to the release, and proposals must include how that award would be used to advance the project.

The proposals must also “demonstrate innovation” in project design, business model, partnerships and/or curriculum integration, according to the release.

The competition is being administered by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and is open to students from both two- and fouryear colleges or universities in the state, according to the release.

Proposals must feature at least one

garza of low-income people, racial minorities, women and people in the LGBT community, according to its website.

While at POWER, based in San Francisco, Garza organized a response to constant police violence in black neighborhoods, according to the SU News release.

Garza’s visit won’t be the first time the movement has been felt on SU’s campus.

In October of last year, Sybrina Fulton and Lesley McSpadden, the mothers of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown, respectively, were among panelists at the (In)Justice For All event — where the Black Lives Matter movement was discussed at length — in SU’s Goldstein Auditorium.

In November of last year, during Vice

President Joe Biden’s speech regarding sexual assault on college campuses, about 100 SU community members rallied to show solidarity with racial justice protesters at the University of Missouri.

Before that, in April, community members rallied to show solidarity with Baltimore protesters in response to the death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man who suffered fatal injuries while in police custody that month.

In December 2014, about 120 members of the community marched around the SU campus in solidarity with the city of Ferguson, Missouri, and in honor of Brown, an unarmed black teenager who was shot and killed in August 2014 by Darren Wilson, a white police officer.

added that the feedback is the “kind of stuff that really helps the committee in terms of understanding the student, faculty and staff’s preferences for the next dean candidate.”

The search is a result of Maxwell Dean James Steinberg’s Sept. 1 announcement that he will be stepping down at the end of the 2015-16 academic year to become a university professor at Maxwell.

Two consultants from Spencer Stuart, the Chicago-based executive search and leadership consulting firm that is assisting the university in the search for a new dean, led the town hall meetings.

Chuck Jordan and Michele Haertel of Spencer Stuart asked direct questions to the audiences of Maxwell stakeholders.

While Maxwell students tended to be more concerned about the new dean being able to cultivate a stronger culture within the school, faculty and staff were more vocal about a lack of financial transparency within Maxwell and a desire to have the new dean come from a background that is not based in politics or law.

Prior to his position as Maxwell dean, Steinberg — a Class of 1978 alumnus of Yale Law School — served as deputy secretary of state to former Secretary of State and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton from 2009 until his resignation in 2011.

Steinberg left that position to take the position of dean at Maxwell.

One staff member at Friday’s 9 a.m. staff town hall meeting suggested finding “someone who is an actual academic and has taught, but has also had administrative experience.”

“Preferably not a lawyer,” the staff member added, getting laughs from other members of the Maxwell community.

While many faculty members stressed the importance of a dean who has a strong academic background, one staff member at the 9 a.m. meeting said the staff wants a dean who can manage and lead — someone who is not a “straight-up academic.”

In regard to financial transparency, faculty members at the 10:30 a.m. Friday meeting lamented Maxwell putting money into institutions in Washington, D.C. Another faculty member at the meeting said the dean’s office has not demonstrated adequate management practice or expertise to “understand the machine.”

The faculty member said Maxwell has suffered over the last 10 years in this economic perspective.

But both the students and the faculty and staff in Maxwell expressed concerns

undergraduate or graduate student but can also include other community members.

Proposals must be submitted by a faculty or staff member from the student’s institution, according to the release.

Applications, which can be found on NYSERDA’s website, are due on April 4 at 5 p.m., according to the release.

The competition is related to Cuomo’s Thursday announcement that the New York State Public Service Commission approved a 10-year, $5 billion Clean Energy Fund to — starting this year — promote the growth of the clean energy economy in New York state, address climate change, improve resiliency during extreme weather and decrease energy bills for New Yorkers. mdburk01@syr.edu

about the new dean’s ability to communicate effectively from the top down.

“I’ve gotten 100 percent more emails from (Chancellor Kent Syverud) than I have from (Steinberg),” said one staff member.

Students also asked for an “accessible, interactive administration” to come along with the new deanship.

When asked what students would like to see different in the Maxwell School at the end of the dean’s first five-year term, one student said they would like more access to the dean — to “see his or her face in the hall, have a relationship with him or her.”

Maxwell students also had other ideas about what the new dean should bring to the table, including the prioritization of fundraising, the retention of “attractive” faculty members, further integration between Maxwell and the Syracuse community and a more affordable education at the school.

When a new dean will be appointed is not yet known. Van Slyke said the “most

There’s so many challenges in higher education right now.

Having someone who understands those challenges and the public policy side of things, and not just one or the other, will probably be useful in the longterm. maxwell staff member

pressing challenge” for the search committee is the timeline of the search, since Steinberg is stepping down at the end of the academic year.

Van Slyke said the committee’s goal is to have off-campus “airport interviews” at the end of the first week in April, and to bring three to four finalists to the SU campus at the end of April or the beginning of May. If the next dean is not appointed in time for the next academic year, Van Slyke said there is a possibility that there will be an interim dean, but added that the decision is ultimately that of Syverud and the to-be-determined vice chancellor and provost.

The new provost will be heavily involved in the decision-making process for a new dean, Van Slyke said, adding that Syverud will have the provost be integrated into meeting with the finalists for the dean position. atorrens@syr.edu

Something in the water

Professors weigh in on water crisis affecting citizens of Flint, Michigan

By Caroline Bartholomew staff writer

T

he people of Flint, Michigan, have been experiencing contamination problems with their water supply for almost a year after the supply line was switched from Lake Huron to the Flint River as a cost-saving measure, according to an article by CNN. The city switched back to the Lake Huron water supply in October 2015, according to CNN, but the damage had already been done to the lead pipes.

Protesters in Flint were upset their complaints weren’t being heard or taken seriously by the state government after the contaminated water severely affected the health of residents in the area, according to CNN. The Daily Orange interviewed Sharon Moran, associate professor of environmental studies at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry; Sarah Pralle, associate professor of political science at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University and senior research assistant at the Campbell Public Affairs Institute; and Henry Lambright, professor of public administration, international affairs and political science at the Maxwell School.

The Daily Orange: How do you think the situation has been handled?

Sharon Moran: There are lots of places in

the system where the people in charge could’ve and should’ve acted differently because of their responsibilities as civil servants and scientists.

Sarah Pralle: I think up to this point it’s been handled poorly, and the reason it’s being handled at all is because of the national media attention … From what I’ve read, local and state officials who had receivership over Flint did a very poor job of trying to handle the complaints of local residents and didn’t take them seriously and could have intervened sooner, but by delaying, they have compounded the problem and the economic cost too.

Henry Lambright: Somewhere between a mess and a disgrace … the disgrace lies in the failure of the government doing what they’re supposed to do, which is to take care of the people.

The D.O.: Do you think Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder should resign?

S.P.: I do think it’s important to hold officials accountable because perhaps it would deter this kind of inaction or neglect in the future, so I’m not opposed to it. It would be sending a strong signal to other officials that we have to maintain infrastructure in order to provide citizens with basic goods and services, and clean water is certainly at the top of that list.

H.L.: Gaining back the trust of the people will be almost impossible until all of the key players are gone, especially the

governor. The trust is broken, so you have to get entirely new players in the system who are not tied to the decisions from previous officials.

The D.O.: How does something like this happen when there are systems in place?

S.M.: There’s more than enough blame to go around. If the system was working the way it should, this wouldn’t have happened … it’s maddening and disappointing. It’s coming out that several professionals intentionally misled people. They minimized dangers — when their job was actually to communicate them, rationally and objectively.

Running a city’s water system is complex and a huge responsibility, and many of us don’t even think about what goes into getting our clean water. But the reality is that infrastructure is important, even if it’s not super exciting. Politicians are always involved in the opening of things, but keeping old and complicated things working is a thankless job.

The D.O.: What steps can be taken to try to mend the situation?

S.M.: From what I’ve read, there’s already minimal trust in local government in Flint, and maybe they can make changes to restore that — new elected officials, new positions, citizen review boards. People will need to be involved, to help ensure it’s done effectively. The future requires apology, explanation and remediation. People need to have transparency and immediate action. Good policies are essential. So is good implementation. People have to be able to see that both of those things are in place, and working correctly.

H.L.: I think there’s a larger question that needs to be addressed wholly aside from Flint, because the real question is: how many Flints are there? I think there’s the immediate Flint situation, and then there’s

the larger problem of what Flint represents.

Flint is a symptom of a national problem that needs a national solution. The federal government needs to work on these problems of infrastructure, even after the media and politicians move on.

The D.O.: What environmental effects will this have on Flint?

S.M.: The future will demand lots of monitoring to make sure the bad things we know about aren’t happening. And to check and make sure that new-and-different bad things aren’t developing. There could be weird secondary effects within the system too — like in D.C. some years ago, even after lead pipe removal, they noticed levels hadn’t dropped and discovered that other household pipes (made of galvanized steel) can take up lead from the water. The consequences of shortsighted and deceitful actions will be felt by many people for a long time.

The D.O.: Hillary Clinton brought up the fact that this might’ve been handled differently, had the city been of different demographics. What is your opinion on this thought?

S.P.: That’s a fair critique. Clearly if this had taken place in a white and more affluent neighborhood, then complaints would’ve been heard a lot sooner and actions would’ve been taken. We tend to neglect the most vulnerable populations because of their lack of political power.

H.L.: I think that’s definitely true. You had a city that no one was paying attention to, a Democrat city in a state with a Republican government. It was also black and poor and it was not part of their constituency, so you had a gap between the city and the state government. Had the complaints come from a mostly white city, I think it may have been handled a lot better and sooner. cbarthol@syr.edu

At the first Syracuse University Student Association meeting of the semester, SA President Aysha Seedat said she received official support from the State University of New York Student Assembly (SUNY SA), the official student government of the entire SUNY system, to bring Uber to upstate New York.

Seedat said she has also been in contact with Uber and she is planning to go to Albany to lobby on behalf of the ridesharing service in the upcoming months.

SA also has many initiatives planned for the upcoming semester, including the second annual Cuse Conference, which will bring together student groups and administrators to address a variety of problems on campus.

Seedat said SA is also planning a Mental Health Awareness Campaign and Impact Week and is assisting in continuing a conversation with the Chancellor’s Workgroup on Diversity and Inclusion.

SA members said they plan to allocate nearly $70,000 for special programs this year.

SA members also gave updates about the heat lamps the organization helped to implement on campus bus stops. The bus lamps were approved last year to help students who rely on campus buses stay warmer as they wait for their buses. The bus lamps are up and

running, and SA reported that it has received a lot of positive feedback so far and is still looking for more feedback to see if there are any ways to improve the heat lamp program.

SA is also initiating Orange SUccess. The program plans to improve advising and student success on campus through a program that better connects students with their advisers and professors. Orange SUccess will be piloting this semester in the Martin J. Whitman School of Management, the College of Arts and Sciences and University College.

Seedat said over Winter Break there was more work done on choosing a vice chancellor and provost for the university.

Seedat, who is on the search committee for the provost, said the new provost will be announced in February.

SA members also discussed the extension of operation hours for the Student Life Slocum Café, which will now be open until 5:30 p.m. on Fridays, and the promotion of Chat and Dine, a program that allows students to have lunch with any faculty and staff member. The program is designed to increase networking and learning outside the classroom.

Additionally, SA elected Domenica Vera as the speaker of the assembly, Matthew VanDemark as parliamentarian and Nicole Sherwood as external public relations chair for the spring 2016 semester.

cuomo and the transgender community has been subjected to a second-class status for far too long. This is an issue of basic justice and I am proud that New York is continuing to lead the way forward.”

New York state was the first in the U.S. to enact an anti-discrimination Human Rights Law, according to the release. The law, which was enacted in 1945, affords every citizen “an equal opportunity to enjoy a full and productive life,” according to the release.

People who feel they have been harassed or discriminated against can file complaints in state court or with the New York State Division of Human Rights without charge, according to the release. Those complaints are then investigated at regional offices throughout the state.

Under New York state law, the Division of Human Rights has the authority to spread regulations interpreting the Human Rights Law, according to the release.

These regulations confirm that the Division of Human Rights will accept and process Human Rights Law complaints alleging discrimination because of gender identity — on the basis of the protected categories of both sex and disability — and provide important information to all New Yorkers regarding unlawful discrimination against transgender people, according to the release.

If the Division of Human Rights determines probable cause for harassment or discrimination, the Commissioner of Human Rights will decide the case after a public hearing and may award employment, housing or other benefits; back and front pay; compensatory damages for mental anguish; and civil fines and penalties, according to the release. The commissioner may also require policy changes and training as appropriate.

Civil fines and penalties can be up to $50,000 or up to $100,000 if the discrimination is found to be “willful, wanton or malicious,” according to the release. Unlike under federal law, compensatory damages to individuals are not capped. smswann@syr.edu | @saramswann

on Giegerich walked in his backyard toward his man-made pond to check on some defleshed bones. As they passed by a graveyard with six little marked stones, Giegerich mentally honored his beloved dogs, but continued onward.

Out near the pond, Giegerich looked at the specimens. These were not past pets, but marine mammals’ skeletons being cleaned in the pond. Other specimens’ bones were taken care of by carrion beetles and blow fly larvae. After about six to seven weeks of natural cleaning, these nine marine mammals were ready to come back to the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry.

As the collections manager for the Roosevelt Wild Life Collections at SUNY-ESF, it’s Giegerich’s job to prepare specimens for display as well as teaching a course in vertebrate museum techniques every spring semester. He curates and manages vertebrates in addition to the specimen preparation. In simpler terms, he prepares, manages and handles taxidermy.

He learned taxidermy in high school and continued crafting his practice in college. From there, he worked for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in the Division of Mammals at the Smithsonian Institution from 1976 to 1977. Ron has since been dedicated to working at SUNY-ESF, where he said he truly enjoys working with students and preparing specimens. see giegerich page 10

Vogue creative director’s departure leaves void in fashion world

I

f you’ve opened an issue of Vogue Magazine in the past 28 years, you have observed the talent of Grace Coddington, Vogue’s creative director and the woman behind the captivating editorials that make up the magazine. Now, at age 74, Coddington is stepping down from her esteemed position.

Since her start as fashion director in 1988, Coddington has become known for her romantic, dreamy fashion spreads that reference art and culture. Her whimsical style gave the magazine the aspirational image it has today. As Editor-In-Chief Anna Wintour’s go-to, Coddington is well respected within Vogue and the rest of the industry, which might be why the fashion world went into a frenzy when she decided to scale back her position at Vogue last Wednesday.

Although her age might beg you to think otherwise, Coddington is not going into retirement just yet. She is keeping ties with Vogue as creative director-at-large, which is a way to scale back her work with the maga-

JACKIE HOMAN

PROBABLY WEARING PAJAMAS zine while still keeping a role there. And just because she is working less at Vogue doesn’t mean she is working less overall. She is beginning several new projects, including a perfume and potentially an animated film, and she is now being represented by creative agency Great Bowery.

While Coddington’s exit from her position will be a big change at Vogue, it is reflective of other shuffling that has been occurring within the fashion industry recently.

Within the past few months, there have been several fashion labels that switched up their own creative directors. The former creative director of Dior, Raf Simons, left the label in October and has yet to be replaced. In the same week, Alber Elbaz was removed from his position of creative director of Lanvin. With so much shifting

occurring within prominent fashion labels, it might be time for the ultimate fashion bible to do some changing of its own.

There is no question as to whether Coddington’s work at Vogue will be missed.

She is considered an icon for all she has accomplished for the magazine. However, there may be some good to come from her departure. The fashion industry thrives on newness, but relies on the tendency to make something old seem new. With one person in the same position for so long, it can be hard to incorporate new perspectives into the product.

While it is unclear whether Vogue will hire someone new as a creative director now, Coddington’s exit opens up the potential for some reevaluation and new directions. Although someone with ample experience will likely fill the role, everyone can move upward to leave new spaces in the lower positions. It is important to have people of all generations on staff; otherwise, the top editors will trickle out with no one

with enough experience to pick up where they left off.

That in itself is another question that Coddington leaves: without her full-time expertise, will the magazine pick up where it left off with her, or will it pursue a new vision?

A creative director has an incredible amount of influence; the look of the magazine and all its pages dictates its audience, quality and sales. Coddington had a particular style, which became Vogue’s style after her decades of leading it. If the magazine wants to keep up the image it has now, it will need to find someone who is able to emulate the grace and whim that Coddington spread throughout the pages.

Vogue is a critical part of the fashion industry, and Coddington is a critical part of Vogue’s history. Now, it is up to the staff and the future staff to take what she has done and make it new again.

giegerich Elyse Iemola, a senior wildlife science major, took his class last year and said she highly recommends that students take it.

“ESF is really cool in that it has a lot of people that are very good at one thing,” Iemola said. “But Ron is really good at everything.”

He’s been busy this past year, cleaning and preparing a total of 15 marine mammals for the collection. He’s never prepared marine mammals before this, but with 39 years of taxidermy work under his belt at SUNY-ESF, Giegerich was ready to take on the challenge.

He cleaned the first five specimens in the preparation room in SUNY-ESF’s Illick Hall until it started to smell, and then decided to use his land back home to finish the job.

There’s a good chance that the specimens I prepared for the university will be around for 100 years, maybe even longer.

RON GIEGERICH studied taxidermy in high school and is now the collections manager for the Roosevelt Wild Life Collections at SUNY-ESF. He cleaned and prepared marine mammals for the first time in 2015.

Ron Giegerich suny-esf professor

Scott Turner, a biology professor and Giegerich’s next-door office neighbor, said Giegerich’s collection is especially important as specimens are often used in other professors’ demonstrations.

“It hasn’t always been supported to the extent that it should be,” Turner said. “He’s always been totally dedicated to this, no matter what the level of financial support is.”

On a day-to-day basis, between specimen identification and preparation, Giegerich is like a normal higher education employee, checking emails and meeting with students, except students will often knock on his door holding a carcass.

With the number of specimens growing each year, the collections room in 215 Illick Hall proves to feel claustrophobic. The Roosevelt Wild Life Collections currently contains over 10,000 specimens of birds, mammals, freshwater and marine fishes, reptiles and amphibians.

What helps to keep the collection going is its large number of dead birds — many of

which come from flying into power lines or windows. If a specimen cannot be hunted under the protection of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, finding one dead can often add variety to the collection.

Drawers upon drawers slide open to reveal several different breeds of birds, with an entire drawer — or three — dedicated to just one species. Cabinets keep jarred oddities and smaller reptiles safe and stored away, while mounted birds stack on each other on the floor of a hall in between more cabinets.

10,000

The Roosevelt Wild Life Collections contains more than 10,000 specimens of birds, mammals, freshwater and marine fishes, reptiles and amphibians.

Giegerich hopes to have new museum space in the basement of the Gateway Center for everyone to access by 2017, despite the challenge of moving the entire collection to

a new space.

Back home, Giegerich raises pheasants, just as he used to as a child with his father.

Joe Folta, a visiting instructor at SUNY-ESF, said Giegerich raises “all kinds of neat looking birds.” Folta was a student of Giegerich’s about 20 years ago, when Folta obtained his waterfowl identification certificate.

What started as a hobby became a vocation.

Ron Giegerich suny-esf professor

“It’s really helpful that when we come across something that we’re not exactly sure what species or subspecies — he’s the first to contact,” he said.

Iemola, the senior wildlife science major, said when she first met Giegerich, she frantically walked into his office so he could accept her into his class. Instead of asking her to

compose herself or to get out, Giegerich calmly asked her what her name was, and they quickly formed a bond.

In her time knowing Giegerich, Iemola said she never felt he was intimidating or arrogant.

“He knows he’s intelligent, but that ability to shove it on you is just not there for him,” Iemola said.

His home life and work life often seam together in one flow, but perhaps with Giegerich’s up-bringing, it was always meant to be. As a child, he collected the occasional skull, feather, vertebrate and specimen oddity, but didn’t expect it to one day turn into museum work.

“What started as a hobby became a vocation,” he said.

But even the dirty work doesn’t bother him, because by the end of the day, his work is recorded in the SUNY-ESF Roosevelt Wild Life Collections for years to come.

“It leaves a legacy behind,” Giegerich said.

“There’s a good chance that the specimens I prepared for the university will be around for 100 years, maybe even longer.” tathomps@syr.edu

teddy bear fur and turtlenecks Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid were recently spotted donning this cozy, harm-free fuzz. Trade in your favorite down or wool coat for this fashionable and surprisingly warm layer. Turtlenecks, whether attached to your favorite top or bodysuit might once have been considered a fashion faux pas reserved for cat ladies and boring business-savvies. But now, this staple’s been spotted on everyone from my current favorite Karlie Kloss to fashion legend Kate Moss. Throw on your teddy coat with a matching turtleneck top or sweater, pants, shoes and accessories to channel the supermodel-chic cozy trend.

Coat: Topshop Top: Charlotte Russe

thigh-high boots Thigh-high boots are the new shoe of choice. Plenty of students on campus have already begun to take part in this model off-duty trend.

Thigh-highs are a great excuse to break out your favorite leg-bearing skirt or dress, as they cover your calves and add an extra layer over often unbearably chilly tights or thigh-high socks. I recommend a neutral color like grey, black or dark olive so that spending money on a pair is worth every penny — and every outfit.

FROSTY FASHION Supermodel staples to warm up any outfit Text and photos by Hannah Malach contributing writer

Kendall, Karlie and Gigi, oh my! Looking to supermodels who strut the runways is an easy way to stay on top of fashion trends, even when it’s cold and snowy outside. Here are some simple pieces to channel some of fashion’s most trendsetting supermodel icons in the winter weather:

bomber jacket and aviators Pretend to be hiding from paparazzi with a fashion-forward pair of regular or oversized aviators. As a college student, you might not be able to buy expensive pair of Tom Ford, Dior or Ray-Ban sunglasses, but luckily, many cheaper stores and brands are replicating the style.

Another outerwear must-have for this season is a bomber jacket, recently spotted on Hailey Baldwin and the Hadid sisters. In order to brave Syracuse winters while still rocking this supermodel staple, a longline or coat-style bomber is your best bet. For some added comfort and warmth, throw on a pair of joggers and a thermal longsleeved tee underneath.

Jacket: Forever 21 Sunglasses: Nordstrom

sleek sneaks and leggings Athleisure is one of the biggest trends right now, probably for its practicality, comfort and convenience. It may be hard to get your hands on a pair of Lulus, Adidas Superstars or Season 1 Yeezys, but it’s possible for anyone to channel this supermodel-favorite look with items you probably already have in your closet. Pair your favorite black leggings with some black, nude or white sneakers. Throw on a comfy tee, some mirrored sunnies and a pompom-adorned tote to turn this casual look from gym-worthy to street-chic.

Shoes: Supra Leggings: New Balance

and that was new territory for him this preseason. He has come a long way there, and his shot selection,” Brey said. “… I thought it was a big day for another step of development, but he is really a key for us, and he’s really a key with Jackson out.”

On Gbinije Brey said he likes to recognize when transfers play well since he was a transfer himself, moving from Northwestern State to George Washington. The combination of Gbinije’s ability to hit the 3 and drive to the basket is what makes him dangerous, Brey pointed out.

Gbinije is averaging 37.8 minutes per game, but Brey said as an experienced fifth-year player, he’s more than capable of handling it. His 17.4 points per game is third in the ACC. The biggest concern the Fighting Irish faces in defending Gbinije, Brey said, is when he breaks down defenses off the dribble and uses ball screens to get into the lane.

“He’s big, he draws fouls, and he has an ability to get rolling from the 3-point line,” Brey said. “But he’s a man, you’re talking about an old guard who’s seen it all. It’s a great challenge for us Thursday with the way he’s playing.” pmschwed@syr.edu | @pschweds

Syracuse eventually evened out on the offensive end and clawed back to an 11-point deficit, but was met with familiar problems in the paramount minutes of the fourth quarter.

On one of the Orange’s final fast break attempts with the game within reach, Sykes looked down the court to a streaking Bria Day. She lobbed a long pass forward that just deflected off Bria Day’s outstretched hand, dinging the Orange for another one of its 19 turnovers.

The play provided a sense of finality to the game, one that was always out of reach.

SYRACUSE - 18 “I don’t know what it is,” Day said, “I’m not rebounding.” “… I don’t understand what’s going on.”

Hillsman leaned on a rotation of both Day sisters and Julia Chandler at center to solve his team’s scoring and defensive woes. Upon entering the game with 1:49 remaining in the first quarter, Chandler was promptly rung up for a three-second violation as she dished the ball outside the arc to an open Brittney Sykes.

The Orange’s centers were a revolving door of missteps early on, and Cardinals guard Myisha Hines-Allen — who led the game with 27 points — consistently made it tough down low for SU’s bigs.

Hines-Allen bodied her way past Chandler under the basket for a layup on the first possession of the second quarter, continuing to balloon Louisville’s eventual 34 total points scored in the paint.

“I think our transition defense really broke us down,” Fondren said. “… We should’ve just kept on competing.”

SU countered with only 18 points in the paint, and was consistently met with pressure down low from the Cardinals centerless starting lineup.

Briana Day corralled a pair of offensive rebounds in a stretch of seconds midway through the second quarter, but failed to capitalize on the opportunity as she

men’s basketball

Beat writers answer 3 questions on Syracuse basketball 1. At what point does the assessment of Dajuan Coleman’s play shift from, ‘he’s still knocking off rust’ to ‘this just is what he is’?

Sam Blum: Dajuan Coleman hasn’t been a total bust this season by any means. He struggles as an offensive player. He’s not an A-plus rebounder, and he can’t stay on the court for a long period of time without getting in foul trouble. That’s all true. But he provides a big defensive presence that Syracuse doesn’t have anywhere else. When he’s in the game, Tyler Lydon can go out to the wing and his shooting can space the floor too. He might never be the five-star recruit that he was projected to be, but give the guy credit. He’s coming back from two years of not playing this game at full speed and is doing a half-decent job at it.

Jesse Dougherty: This may seem like a way of sidestepping an answer, but Coleman is likely always going to be a player “knocking off the rust.” It’s near impossible to endure two major knee surgeries and miss 22 months in the middle of your college basketball career, and then come back as your “normal” self. From now on, it seems that Coleman’s normal self is a center with limited athleticism and only truly effective in the right matchup. All Syracuse can do is recognize those matchups and squeeze out all of Coleman’s slashed potential which, at this point, is solid defensive minutes and a handful of defensive rebounds. Anything after that can only be expected on a gameby-game basis, not as consistent production.

Matt Schneidman: I think we’ve reached the end of thinking that Coleman can be something more. He’s never going to score or rebound in double digits and that’s not because of talent. His body simply can’t play the minutes needed to assert himself in a frontcourt shared by players who can rebound better and score more effectively.

It’s a shame, really, since his downfall came after two knee injuries. But such is the reality of where Coleman is, whether Syracuse fans and others around the program choose to accept it or not.

2. How significant is it that Syracuse hasn’t allowed any fast-break points in the past four games?

S.B.: Let me first just say that this is a ridiculous statistic. But it is also a very good indicator of the way Syracuse has controlled the tempo and protected the basketball the past four games. In SU’s three wins, Jim Boeheim said each time that it was the best defensive performance of the season, and each time he was right. When you look at the Miami and Pittsburgh losses, sloppy turnovers led to run-out points late in games. When SU started winning, that completely stopped happening.

J.D.: There are two sides to what this means. The first is offensive, that the Orange is shooting well from 3 (no long rebounds turning into easy transition buckets) and evidently taking care of the ball well enough. The other is that SU, by limiting transition and not allowing teams to score on the break, is making teams work for every single bucket. This is very significant because teams, for the most part, get lower-percentage shots in their half-court offenses and will also be a little more tired on defense if they have to grind for 20 seconds to get a good look against the zone.

There is a slim margin for error in every Atlantic Coast Conference game, but limiting an opponent’s transition opportunities can only make it a little wider.

DAJUAN COLEMAN has struggled to regain form after returning from his second knee injury. The redshirt junior center’s ability to contribute moving forward is one of the topics of discussion in the beat writers’ roundtable. james mccann staff photographer

M.S.: This stat is a testament to Syracuse’s ability to take care of the ball in the backcourt. That’s what will happen when two fifth-year seniors are your primary ballhandlers and that’s never a bad thing. I don’t think it’s as significant as what meets the eye just because it’s negated when teams like Duke and Virginia are scoring in their half-court offenses against Syracuse.

The benefits of not allowing points in transition for an already thin SU team is that the game is slowed down and it conserves the few Syracuse players that see big minutes. Still, there are many other ways to beat the Orange than in transition.

3. What must Syracuse do, either in terms of wins and losses or quality of play, to make these next four games (all at home against Notre Dame, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech and Florida State) a success?

S.B.: Pretty simple answer is to win. When you start out 0-4 in conference, your margin of error against teams you can

beat becomes almost zilch. Syracuse has a chance now to completely right the wrongs of the start of its conference season. And the good news is that the Orange is playing the type of games it needs to to make that happen. Michael Gbinije has found his stroke. Malachi Richardson has looked like the superstar we all knew he could be this conference season. Syracuse has what it takes to make the NCAA Tournament and the next four games provide it the chance to get in that conversation.

J.D.: The only one of these games SU can afford to lose, considering the bigger picture and its developing tournament resume, is Notre Dame on Thursday.

After that, the other three games would be less-than-impressive home wins but extremely questionable home losses. From a basketball standpoint, the Orange has to keep making strides defending the paint and figure out how to balance touches on the other end. Gbinije continues to be the quarterback of the offense, but he’s also

regaining his shooting touch to the point that Syracuse should consider getting him off the ball when it can. Nailing down an offensive identity, aside from the high pickand-roll that helped SU edge Duke, could go a long way in maximizing all of the Orange’s perimeter talent.

M.S.: At this point in the season, every loss — no matter how well the Orange plays — pushes it further off the bubble it’s already on the outside of, in my opinion. Three of the next four games are against teams outside the top seven in the ACC. Those are all MUST-win games for Syracuse. A win against the Fighting Irish would certainly put a check mark on the resume come March while the other three would simply keep SU afloat. Anything other than a 4-0 stretch isn’t a success, since this stage in the season calls for more than just succeeding. sblum@syr.edu | @SamBlum3 jcdoug01@syr.edu | @dougherty_jesse mcschnei@syr.edu | @matt_schneidman

Malachi Richardson named 3-star Illinois DE Josh Black ACC Rookie of the Week verbally commits to Orange

By Matt Schneidman sports editor

Syracuse freshman Malachi Richardson has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Rookie of the Week, the league announced Monday afternoon in an email release Richardson scored 37 points in two games this past week, posting 14 in a 64-62 win against then-No. 20 Duke and a careerhigh 23 in a loss to then-No.13 Virginia.

He hit 6-of-10 shots from behind the arc against the Cavaliers and went 8-of-15 overall from the field. Richardson also grabbed eight rebounds in the two-game stretch and played an average of 38.5 minutes per game as the Orange won one and lost one..

Sunday night’s game against UVA was the first time all season Richardson played a full game. He also had his highest singlegame field-goal percentage (53.3 percent)

Class of 2016 defensive end Joshua Black has verbally committed to Syracuse, he announced in a tweet Monday morning. The former Illinois commit is the fourth defensive end in the Orange’s 2016 recruiting class.

With nine days until National Signing Day, SU’s 2016 class is up to 22 pledges. Black’s commitment comes after seven players verballed to Syracuse over the weekend.

The 6-foot-3, 251-pound Black is ranked with three stars and as the 71st best strong-side defensive end in the Class of 2016, according to 247Sports.com’s composite rankings.

After decommitting from Illinois one week ago, Black took an official visit to Syracuse this past weekend. He enjoyed the visit, according to his Twitter, and

the once 29-point deficit was too heavy a burden to overcome. Peterson, who scored all 13 of her points in the second half, was the only SU player in double figures.

The Orange has dropped two games in a row to ranked opponents with both losses being by double-digits. Syracuse hasn’t led once in its last 80 minutes of play.

“I’m never going to be the victim. Never,”

announced his commitment on Monday.

The Harlem (Illinois) High School defensive end is now the second Orange commit from the Prairie State. He also had offers from Bowling Green, Toledo and Ball State, per 247Sports.

Black joins defensive ends Jamal Holloway, Kendall Coleman and Jaquwan Nelson in the 2016 class.

It’s a position group that lacks depth as Ron Thompson (declared for NFL Draft) and Luke Arciniega (won’t use final year of eligibility) won’t return next season while Amir Ealey and Qaadir Sheppard may not be available for Week 1 (indefinite suspension). Class of 2016 defensive end Brandon Ginnetti decommitted due to the new coaching staff.

Redshirt freshmen Kenny Carter and Jake Pickard are the only other returning defensive ends on the roster. pmschwed@syr.edu | @pschweds

Hillsman said. “We’re wounded. If you find a lion and a lion’s wounded, what are you thinking? ‘It’s not going to be OK to stick my neck out there.’

“I’m good and (the players are) going to be good. We’re never going to be the victim. We ain’t feeling sorry for ourselves and nobody should. It’s our responsibility to get better.” jrmettus@syr.edu | @jmettus

Hillsman’s team had scored just four points in the opening nine minutes of the game and ultimately finished the first frame with just six points, its lowest scoring quarter of the season.

Syracuse (14-6, 4-3 Atlantic Coast) was forced to fight from behind the entire game and fell to the No. 14 Cardinals (15-5, 7-0), 71-53, at the Carrier Dome on Monday.

Notre Dame is preparing as if Jackson won’t play due to a pulled hamstring injury he suffered on Saturday, Brey said. The junior point guard is second in the ACC with five assists per game while also averaging 16.6 points. He was selected to the preseason All-ACC first team before the season started.

Brey said Jackson will be undergoing an MRI Monday afternoon to confirm the injury is not more serious than the initial diagnosis. It’s a 3-4 day recovery, Brey said, but he wants to be cautious Jackson doesn’t come back too soon.

“I don’t want to bring him back too quick. I know how guys are, ‘I’m ready, I’m ready,’” Brey said. “I think we have to be really careful with this because you want to get it healed.”
