Man stabbed in Carrier Dome Friday
Cantor to step down in 2014
By Jessica Iannetta ASST. NEWS EDITOR
A man was stabbed on the concourse of the Carrier Dome on Friday night at Syracuse University’s Orange Madness event. The stabbing occurred at 9:30 p.m. The victim was stabbed in the upper shoulder area, according to a notice sent to students by the Department of Public Safety early Saturday morning. The victim, a 25-year-old male, was transported to Upstate University Hospital, said Sgt. Tom Connellan of the Syracuse Police Department. The victim is not an SU student and no SU students were involved, Connellan said. Connellan later identified the victim as Shoquinn Quinn. As of Sunday morning, Connellan said he didn’t know Quinn’s current condition but that Quinn’s injury was non-life threatening. A nursing supervisor at University Hospital said the hospital had no one currently admitted by that name. SPD received multiple reports of fights breaking out in the concourse areas near the concession stands prior to receiving a report of the stabbing, Connellan said. No students are believed to have been involved in any of the fights, he said. SPD currently has no suspects and no one in custody. Because the stabbing is a criminal investigation, Connellan said, SPD will handle all aspects of the case. It is not yet known whether the stabbing or any of the fights were gang-related, Connellan said. “We don’t know at this point because the victim is not cooperating,” he said. Due to “continuing disturbances” in the crowd, the event ended 30 minutes early, Connellan said. “That was done in the interest of public safety, to get everyone out of here in an orderly fashion,” he said.

In final 3 semesters, Cantor looks to push forward By Marwa Eltagouri NEWS EDITOR
Nancy Cantor calls the timing of her decision to step down as chancellor of Syracuse University a “natural moment.” “Ten years is a substantial amount of time to lead an institution,” she said in an interview with The Daily
Orange on Friday morning, a little more than one hour after announcing her departure in a campus-wide email. Cantor announced she will step down as soon as her contract ends in June 2014. By the time she leaves Syracuse University, she will have served nearly a decade as chancellor,
as she was inaugurated in November 2004. Cantor said she timed her announcement to coincide with the end of the Campaign for Syracuse University, which aimed to raise $1 billion by Dec. 31, 2012. SU reached that goal in September, three months

Board of Trustees reflects on Cantor’s leadership, initiatives By Dara McBride and Debbie Truong STAFF WRITERS
In more than eight years as chancellor, Nancy Cantor has envisioned and helped champion programs aimed at elevating the university’s national and local presence. Cantor’s successor is far from
being determined, but as some Board of Trustees members look to the future and for a chancellor to replace Cantor when she departs in 2014, they are reflecting on certain aspects of Cantor’s leadership and initiatives. The University Senate will likely begin the search committee process for a new chancellor next month. “I think the face of the campus,
the face of the students has really changed for the better,” said Howard Phanstiel, describing Cantor’s influence at SU since assuming the role of chancellor in 2004. Phanstiel is a vice chair of the Board of Trustees and, along with his wife Louise, donated $20 million to the university to help establish scholarships for
