Samuel Irving Newhouse Jr. — owner of a media empire that includes Syracuse.com, The New Yorker and Vogue, and son of the man who helped build Syracuse U n i v e r s i t y ’s public communications school — died Sunday at age 89. Alongside his NEWHOUSE brother, Newhouse ran Advance Publications Inc., a media company founded by their father, Samuel Irving Newhouse Sr., in 1922. The business’s holdings included Condé Nast — that published dozens of magazines such as Vanity Fair, Bon Appétit and Wired — in addition to various newspaper organizations across the country. On a local level, the Newhouse family has owned The Syracuse Post-Standard since 1942, according to Syracuse.com. Syracuse Media Group, which Advance Media launched in 2013, streamlined the newspaper’s print edition with its digital arm, Syracuse.com. Newhouse, who was said to have a particular interest in the magazine division of his father’s business, began working at Condé Nast in 1961 and served as its chairman from 1975 to 2015. Before starting his job at Condé Nast, Newhouse dropped out of SU, according to The New York Times. Around that time, his father helped to build Newhouse 1, which opened in 1964 and housed SU’s School of Journalism. The university’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, named after Newhouse Sr., formed in 1971. The S.I. Newhouse Foundation and the Newhouse family also contributed $15 million in 2003 to build Newhouse 3. According to a 2016 statement from his brother, Newhouse suffered from dementia. In a statement, Newhouse Dean Lorraine Branham called Newhouse and his brother, Donald, “unflagging supporters and champions of the Newhouse School.” Branham extended condolences to Newhouse’s family on behalf of the school. She wrote: “Their backing made so many things possible — including the school’s remarkable facilities — and their influence positively impacted generations of students and alumni who, in turn, made their own mark on the communications industry.” jmulle01@syr.edu

n 2016, Syracuse University reported a higher number of on-campus burglaries, dating violence incidents and liquor law disciplinary actions than most of its 16 peer institutions, crime statistics show. SU’s annual security report, sent to the campus community via email Friday by the Division of Campus Safety and Emergency Services, also indicated there were 12 reported rape cases on campus in 2016, increasing from eight in 2015. Colleges and universities that receive federal money, including SU, are required to publish a security report by Oct. 1 each year under the Jeanne Clery Act. see report page 6

SU to ‘exclude’ students By Sam Ogozalek asst. news editor

Syracuse University students who have not submitted vaccination records to the university will be “excluded” from SU’s campus starting Monday, in response to a recent mumps outbreak. Four students have contracted mumps, the university’s Office of Health Services confirmed Friday.

“This action is in accordance with New York State law and is designed to protect the health of all members of our campus community,” said Karen Nardella, medical director of health services, in a notice sent to the campus community via email on Thursday. Seventeen SU students who have not submitted vaccination records, including those with religious and medical waivers, will be “excluded,” per the notice, starting Monday at 8 a.m. The Onondaga County Health Department ordered the exclusion, Nardella said. Melanie Drotar, a public information specialist, said in an email on Sunday all inquires regarding the issue should be directed toward the SU administration. Mumps outbreaks are known to occasionally occur at colleges. Symptoms can include a fever, headaches, muscle aches, puffy cheeks and a swollen jaw. Most people diagnosed with mumps recover in a few weeks, according to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Excluding students from campus is not ideal, and it’s important to us that all our students are positioned for success,” Nardella said. “Several campus offices, including Academic Affairs and the Office of Student Assistance, are working to identify academic accommodations that could allow our students to continue their studies.” SU students diagnosed with mumps have been “isolated,” according to the university. Officials have advised students to wash their hands, clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces and avoid sharing cups and other utensils. The university first announced two confirmed mumps cases late last week. sfogozal@syr.edu | @Sam13783
