indsey Lerman is not a victim. She is a survivor. She is also a single representative of the 1-in-5 American women who will experience rape in their lifetime,

and she is taking back her night. Take Back the Night was the first time Lerman was able to share her story. “(This) is where I first stood up and said ‘I am not a victim, I am a survivor,’” she said.

Take Back the Night is an annual international event held in different places at different times across the world, said Janet Epstein, director of the Advocacy Center. “(The event) is an opportunity to bring people together to acknowledge

that sexual and relationship violence are issues that affect everyone, and that everyone can have a role in preventing (these issues) and in supporting those who have been impacted,” Epstein said.

cha ncellor search

Committee posts position description, details desired qualifications By Dara McBride DEVELOPMENT EDITOR

In more than 1,560 words, Syracuse University officials summed up exactly what they are looking for in the next chancellor. “Syracuse University embarks on the search for its next Chancellor seeking an individual of significant stature and powerful ideas who embraces the mission of a comprehensive research university in a comprehensive way, an individual

who understands that the creation of knowledge is a driving force in today’s world,” according to the position description. After two months of research and collecting input from the SU community, the search committee released the chancellor position description online late last week, said Kevin Quinn, senior vice president for public affairs. Chancellor Nancy Cantor announced Oct. 12 she plans to

leave the university when her contract expires in 2014. The committee is expected to interview candidates during the summer and end its search by November or December. Joanne Alper, vice chair of the Board of Trustees, chairs the committee. The posting gave background on the university and what the next chancellor must do to face upcoming challenges. The posting mentioned diversity, involvement downtown

and on campus, athletics and finances, among other topics. Here are several highlights from the description: • On academic leadership: “On the Syracuse campus, the new Chancellor will be charged with strengthening the residential experience of the diverse and inclusive community and ensuring that programs and facilities support the intellectual life of the students.”

Car hits SU student on Comstock By Meredith Newman ASST. NEWS EDITOR

A 2004 Dodge Stratus heading north on Comstock Avenue struck a Syracuse University student outside of Ernie Davis Hall on Wednesday night. The student, 20-year-old Jennie Chang, was crossing the street, despite street signs that said not to cross, when she was hit. The collision resulted in a non-life threatening head injury. Cheng was sent to Upstate University Hospital, said Sgt. Gary Bulinski of the Syracuse Police Department. The driver, a 23-year-old SU student, was not issued a ticket when SPD responded to the scene. Cheng received a ticket for failing to yield to an approaching vehicle, Bulinski said. mhnewnan@syr.edu @MerNewman93
