In accordance with the law, SU has had to

Students largely uninvoled in hybrid program discussions

By Alexa Torrens news editor

The online education company 2U launched its first online law program in January 2013 in partnership with St. Louis’ Washington University, when Kent Syverud was dean of the law school there.

Now, 39 months later, Syverud is the chancellor of Syracuse Univer-

sity, which hosts six schools and colleges that have partnered with 2U to create online and hybrid degree programs. These programs are for students who want to enroll in programs at SU but don’t have the proximity or accessibility to the campus to attend residential programs, such as professionals with established careers, people with disabilities or active-duty military personnel.

The latest entity at SU to partner with 2U is SU’s College of Law, which announced last week that it would create a hybrid juris doctor program, the first of its kind for 2U. The law school has been in discussion about the program for about two years, said Andrew Hermalyn, executive vice president and regional general manager for 2U. But some faculty and staff

remain skeptical of the program and fear it might diminish the prestige of SU Law. Students especially feel “blindsided” because they don’t necessarily understand the details of the program yet, SU’s Student Bar Association Cody Carbone said.

This is because, he said, only faculty were involved in the discussion about creating the program.

The program is expected to be

approved by the American Bar Association and New York state by next spring, and the College of Law hopes to launch it in 2018, said Interim Dean William Banks.

Faculty are currently working in coordination with 2U on crafting the courses that will be delivered through the program’s online platform, Hermalyn said. see online

THIRSTY thursday | sheffield cellars tawny port

Tawny Port has sweet taste with spicy finish

By Max Darrow staff writer

Switching gears this week, I decided to review a different kind of alcohol: port. It’s not something you’d usually find college students drinking, but with graduation coming up, maybe try ordering one for or with dessert at a big dinner.

For those who don’t know, port is a fortified, dessert wine, meaning it’s sweeter and has a much higher alcohol content than regular wines. The bottle I reviewed — Sheffield Cellars Tawny Port — is 18 percent alcohol by volume.

Port is served in a small glass.

Its deep, dark red color and viscous consistency is similar to blood, but don’t worry, it doesn’t taste anything like it.

Smelling the Sheffield Cellars Tawny Port is a fun experience. I smelled raspberries, strawberries and a strong French vanilla aroma.

Together, those three scents combine like a delicious smelling dessert. One of my roommates described the smell as “like an early spring day.”

When finally tasting the port, newcomers to dessert wine will

be surprised for sure. The whole tasting experience is starkly different from drinking a typical Pinot Noir from start to finish.

It’s extremely sweet, and has almost a spicy finish. It feels like someone threw a pinch of pepper in halfway through the taste, making for an unparalleled experience. The Sheffield Cellars Tawny Port tastes like a sugary, berry-focused dessert, almost like the glazed strawberries on strawberry shortcake.

As for the texture, it has a bite and a thick consistency. The consistency was predictable due to its look and viscosity. The bite comes with the peppery finish, which actually tasted pretty great.

This port would go great with a scoop of French vanilla ice cream — the flavors would complement each other perfectly. Just thinking about the pair makes me want to go try a glass with some ice cream.

For the price, just around $8, it is a great bottle of port. So whether it’s a bottle of Sheffield Cellars or another glass of port at dinner, give it a try come graduation weekend at dinner with the family. midarro@syr.edu

Faculty raise concern about transparency

By Annie Palmer development editor

Faculty voiced a chorus of complaints about transparency at the last University Senate meeting of the semester.

Discussion about transparency and faculty governance had surfaced at points throughout the semester, but it wasn’t until Wednesday’s meeting that it seemed to come to a head. Geography professor Mark Monmonier even suggested a vote of no confidence in Syracuse University’s budget — a motion that was later tabled.

In a somewhat rare moment, a few of the administrators that were present in Maxwell Auditorium offered a

rebuttal to faculty claims of secrecy in decision-making and budget affairs. Chancellor Kent Syverud was not at the meeting, but other highlevel administrators such as Director of Budget and Planning Gwenn Judge and Interim Vice Chancellor and Provost Liz Liddy were present.

Liddy gave an update on the Academic Strategic Plan, saying

that the Oversight Committee will be issuing a report in two weeks.

The meeting dealt with a few leftover agenda items from the April 13 meeting, including a budget report and presentations from the Student Life Committee and the Committee on Research. At least an hour of the more than 90-minute meeting was spent voicing complaints about administrative transparency, some of which weren’t limited to the university’s budget.

Senate Budget Committee Chair Dawit Negussey recommended the university use money that isn’t earmarked for a specific purpose to fund the Academic Strategic Plan. Former Senate Agenda Committee Chair Bruce

Carter questioned how this could be possible when it’s unclear how much the initiative will cost.

“We estimate that the cost of the strategic plan will be somewhere between zero and infinity,” Carter said. “We have no information about what the cost will be or what the priorities are.”

In what appeared to be a moment when Liddy and other administrators realized they should respond to the criticisms, Kevin Quinn, SU’s senior vice president for public affairs, moved across Maxwell Auditorium to sit next to Liddy, where they spoke quietly. Liddy then said that the administration is not at the point

Syracuse University’s study abroad program is looking to increase the amount of students studying abroad, particularly those in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields.

Jenn Horvath, manager of marketing and communications for SU Abroad, said the office is doing this by marketing programs toward STEM students and making more STEM courses available abroad.

Horvath said there are three programs that have been marketed toward STEM students, two of which are engineering programs.

Second-year engineering students can now go abroad to Strasbourg in the fall semester and to Florence in the spring semester, Horvath said.

Horvath said the courses taught at these centers are the same required courses the students would take at SU. The third program will be starting see su

mayfest 2016

Miner advises caution during weekend concerts

By Satoshi Sugiyama asst. copy editor

Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner wrote a letter advising Syracuse University students to be mindful of their safety and considerate of residents living around Walnut Park during Mayfest on Friday.

In the letter, Miner said her administration has been coordinating with SU to organize Mayfest and with the Syracuse Police

Department to shut down the surrounding streets.

“As a Syracuse University alumna, I value the time and effort that students have put into planning this event; however, it is important the safety of students and their neighbors remains,” Miner said in the letter.

Miner has ordered SPD to “strictly” enforce the city ordinances, such as the banning of open containers, excessive noise and littering, among other city

rules, according to the letter.

Miner also urged Mayfest attendees to treat residents living around the university area with respect and consideration and warned those who violate the city ordinances that they will be held responsible.

Because of Mayfest, parking on Walnut Avenue and Walnut Place will be restricted on Thursday and no parking will be allowed on Friday, according to an SU Parking and Transit Services release.

Parking at University Avenue Garage will also be limited, according to the release. Parking and Transit Services will offer limited parking at the Harrison Parking Lot on Harrison Street, which is located between University Avenue and South Crouse Avenue, according to the release.

Also in the release, Parking and Transit Services urged people to follow the “no parking” signs and not to park in between barrels. ssugiyam@syr.edu

editorial board

SU college should have consulted students for program input In a push to bring more inclusive programming to the Syracuse University campus, administrators within the College of Law have actively made one of the most exclusionary decisions of the 2015-16 academic year.

The College of Law has announced it will partner with 2U to create a hybrid juris doctor program — an addition that is expected to be approved by the American Bar Association and New York state by next spring with a projected launch in 2018. The affiliation marks a total of six schools and colleges at SU that have collaborated with 2U to broaden the accessibility of higher education for those who are not able to enroll in residential curriculums.

But the failure of the institution does not stem from the expansion of online degrees.

It lies in the poor handling of a decision that comes after staff, faculty and administrators

have been in talks regarding the introduction of the online hybrid program into the College of Law for two years. The majority of the law school’s students have only known about the program for one week and have yet to be explicitly briefed on the basic details of the partnership and the ways it may transform the perception of their on-campus education in the eyes of prospective employers.

Though the online-based program will consist of pre-filmed lectures and live discussions with an SU residency component and an externship requirement, the lack of communication has law students rightfully concerned that the stigma associated with the rigor and quality of online education threatens the prestige of SU’s law school in a professional climate.

And while claims against the incorporation of online hybrid programs into

traditional models are up for debate, leaving students who are stakeholders in an equation that has the capacity to risk the value of their SU law degree is not.

what is 2u 2U is an online platform meant to bridge the gap between proximity and education. Six of SU’s colleges are currently affiliated with 2U and the College of Law’s hybrid program is projected to launch in 2018.

This is particularly ironic considering those with the ability to participate in the discussions were practicing faculty whose JDs are secured and whose careers are established — leaving the interest of students who are affected most by the

decision unrepresented entirely.

The decision by the College of Law embodies a trend that has been hinted at across campus grounds: the university is riddled with committees, workgroups and listening sessions to pride itself on inclusivity and communication. But when students are informed of a decision in which their personal lives or academic careers are thrown off center, the American Bar Association is already assessing a program request for approval.

In no way is the 2U program guaranteed to fail. Still, the integration of the hybrid component into the College of Law should have been a progressive conversation to bring an innovative opportunity that puts SU ahead of the curve in accessible education — not a surprise from behind closed doors that has the potential to send the caliber of a college backward.

letter to the editor

letter to the editor

SU faculty respond to DO ‘FC’ SU Student Affairs, DPS encourage safety, respect reporting, Editorial Board This letter responds to the recent D.O. articles/editorial attacks on the Institute on Communication and Inclusion (ICI) and the work around Facilitated Communication (FC). We stand with the ICI in their decades of work to provide communication and inclusion for individuals so often at risk for marginalization. This civil and human rights work is in line with the mission of Syracuse University and the School of Education.

First, people who use FC typically include individuals who lack reliable pointing skills and who cannot speak or whose speech is extremely limited or disordered, thus many of these people are often “labeled” with intellectual disabilities.

However, many individuals who once required significant physical support to communicate have demonstrated the ability to type with no or minimal physical support and/ or to read aloud what they type. This country has a horrific history of mistreatment and institutionalization of persons who are not able to communicate, thus we see that authentic communication, like FC, is a fundamental right.

Second, by never watching or learning from those who use FC, the D.O. reporters/ editors provided no understanding of what FC is or how it works. We want to point out the countless children, families and communities that have forever benefited by working with the ICI and using FC. The articles ignored the young people who were initially labeled with intellectual disabilities (IQs below 70) who learned to type through FC, and went on to receive mostly A’s in college at places like SU. Third, a number of studies, using multiple methodologies, have successfully demonstrated authorship and validity of typed communication through FC. Equally important is that the research of the ICI is held to the same best practice and research standards involving ethics of working with human subjects and the rigorous peer-reviewed process that all scholarly research goes through to get published.

Finally, the D.O. articles and other criticisms of FC are based on the foundation that

people who type to communicate have been “scientifically” labeled as intellectually lesser and thus what they type cannot possibly be attributed to them. We must recognize that this argument has a history that spans groups of people in the U.S., a history of “scientific” claims stating that immigrants are intellectually inferior, women are intellectually inferior, Blacks are intellectually inferior … these kinds of “scientific” claims built upon intellectual inferiority are offensive and wrong.

With end of year events fast approaching, including MayFest, Block Party, and commencement-related activities, we want to remind you that each of you play an important role in the larger campus community.

We also want to reiterate to you the University’s commitment to maintaining a healthy and safe environment for all our campus community members and neighbors.

This commitment includes a number of efforts aimed at preventing large, unruly parties that create potentially dangerous situations for those attending and major disruptions for our neighbors and community partners. Action will be taken against violators of the University Code of Student Conduct, City of Syracuse ordinances, and New York State laws. The Department of Public Safety (DPS) and the Syracuse Police Department will be monitoring activities and strictly enforcing rules, codes, laws, and ordinances.

This time of celebration may also include the consumption of alcohol. If you choose to drink, please remember to follow these tips: • Alternate non-alcoholic drinks with alcoholic drinks.

• Eat a high protein meal prior to drink ing.

• Recognize the signs of alcohol poisoning.

To learn more about what you should look for, visit http://bewise.syr.edu/beaware.

• If someone needs medical assistance, call SU Ambulance right away. It’s better to be proactive than to regret not taking action when you could have.

• Avoid risky beverages like energy drinks, jungle juice and shots.

• Look out for yourself and your friends. Go out together and return home together.

• Have a designated driver, cab company phone number, or another safe means for getting home without driving.

• Everyone has a camera! Remember - your actions and what you post on social media are rarely private.

• Don’t just follow the crowd. Excitement

that turns into violations of the law can turn a great time celebrating into an expensive, embarrassing and even dangerous situation.

If you see any concerning behaviors, call 911 if you’re off campus. If you’re on campus, call DPS at 315.443.2224.

We take the well-being of our students, campus community members, and neighbors very seriously and appreciate your support in working to prevent dangerous and risky behavior.

Have fun, enjoy this time, and be safe.

Help our community maintain a safe and respectful environment for everyone on and off campus.

Tubman bill, reparations not enough

I

t’s all about the Tubmans, baby.

The United States Department of the Treasury announced last week that the faces on U.S. currency would be revamped in 2020. These changes come after the Treasury’s initial proposal to place a woman on the $10 bill was met with much disapproval. Groups like feminist organization Women on the 20s did not want the just denomination of $10 for a woman, they wanted the full $20.

The Treasury listened to public opinion and compromised. After deliberation, it was determined that the $20 bill would have abolitionist Harriet Tubman on the front, with slave-owning, Native American-oppressing President Andrew Jackson on the back. The department also decided that the $10 bill will feature Alexander Hamilton along with various suffragettes on the back and Abraham Lincoln will remain on $5 bills with Eleanor Roosevelt, Marian Anderson and Martin Luther King Jr. on the flipside.

The Treasury’s decision to make U.S. currency more inclusive is admirable in that it acknowledges the social justice movements that are often underrecognized and underappreciated.

Yet just because there will finally be women or people of color on the currency does not mean that oppression can be solved by merely throwing money at a problem.

Updating currency is not the final destination, but it hints at a country that society can look forward to in the future.

Essentially, placing a minority woman like Tubman, who resided in Syracuse’s neighbor of Auburn, New York, upon arrival in the north, on currency is forward-looking, but the irony remains. Women only make a fraction of a man’s dollar: 79 cents on average, with black women making 60 and Latina women making 55, according to a 2015 report by the U.S. Census Bureau. Unless men will suddenly tell women to keep the change, the true problem of institutionalized

NOTHING LEFT UNSAID inequality remains unsolved.

“The question of who’s going to be on our money is sort of a historical question and occurs with our perception of history at the time,” said Mark Schmeller, associate professor of history in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University.

Tubman was illiterate and had to struggle for all she had after she freed herself ... In many ways, she’s a shock for others, as those on the bill are very literate, very elite, very white and very male.

Carol Faulkner professor of history in su’s maxwell school of citizenship and public affairs

While the Treasury Department is attempting to right past wrongs, Georgetown University, an SU peer institution, is unsatisfactorily working toward change as well. The school is grappling with its payment of reparations to the descendants of the black slaves who kept the school afloat during financial hardship. After consulting its records, it estimates there are thousands of descendants whose lives have been forever impacted by the school’s slave labor. The university has not made many strides in the public eye toward redressing this problem and stagnation will not create forward movement. Justice requires ceaseless action.

Students advocated strongly last fall for Georgetown to change

the names of buildings dedicated to slave-selling priests. And they got what they wanted. The fact that students on campuses all over the country have the power to make historic and landmark change in their educational environments, as reflected by Georgetown, should be taken as a motivation to create history and to reflect on the past.

It seems that the ameliorating of the past has become the U.S.’ means of moving on. The concern of the people demonstrates a shift in mentality from history preservers to social activism and progressive thinking. Millennials especially have proven to be the most firm in their ideology of establishing a society enveloped in creating a brighter future of equality and one free from the shackles of the dark side of former generations.

It’s undeniable that the lives of those who have descended from the slaves in question have been entirely shaped, in some form, by the fact that they descended from slavery. Nothing is ever going to change that family story. The giving of money is more of a symbolic gesture on the part of the university as a means of acknowledging its wrongs. At Georgetown, paying the descendants of slaves won’t change the fact that slavery has burdened the lives of these descendants.

Nothing will, but there’s nothing to lose in trying.

Tubman was an interesting choice for the bill. In present day, she is pretty uncontroversial: very few still believe that slavery is a source of American pride and she doesn’t fit the mold of a political figure. However,

scribble

because she was considered currency during her time as a slave, this statement a hugely political one. In this way, putting Tubman on the bill is not a great change within itself, but it serves as a model for promoting discussion about further advancement.

“Tubman was illiterate and had to struggle for all she had after she freed herself. She had to support her family,” said Carol Faulkner, a professor of history in SU’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. “In many ways, she’s a shock for others, as those on the bill are very literate, very elite, very white and very male.”

The patriotic sentiment that America is and always will be amazing is nuanced and extremely relative. We can look at any event in history and at some point in time, it was thought of differently. In the 1960s and 1970s, Jackson’s reputation fell from being a respected American figure among historians to being associated most with his mistreatment of Native Americans as he spearheaded the Trail of Tears, surprisingly many people will know not what this is. Addressing that in order

for justice to be realized, society needs to continue to recognize injustice and not put those who perpetuate it on a pedestal.

“Having pictures that represent Americans taking collective action moves us away from thinking about our history as just a series of presidential administrations,” said Kristi Andersen, a professor of political science in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at SU, in an email.

“Ordinary people or groups make history, too.”

There will come a time when the triumphant bravery of Tubman, the under-recognized valor of the suffragettes and the laborious efforts of Roosevelt, Anderson and King will be prevalent in wallets across the nation. There is a sense of responsibility given to us as citizens to uphold the legacy of these historical figures. In times of trouble and confusion when it comes to the push toward future social progress, these bills can serve as a beacon of hope in motivating prosperity and equality.

sexual assault campus was notated through the Clery Act in SU’s 2015 safety and security report for 2014. One in five women and one in 16 men will be sexually assaulted during their college careers, according to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center.

Sheila Johnson-Willis, interim chief, equal opportunity and Title IX officer at SU, said the reason for the drastic difference in numbers between the Clery Act report and national statistics about campus sexual assault is because not every student chooses to report sexual assault.

The student drives the process when filing a Title IX complaint, Johnson-Willis said, so if a student decides not to disclose their situation to the institution, they wouldn’t have information about that report. But a student can choose to report confidentially, she added.

There are multiple ways a student can report an incident of sexual assault, Johnson-Willis said, adding that reporting sexual assault can have a different meaning to different people.

A student can choose to report to local law enforcement, such as the Department of Public Safety at SU or the Syracuse Police Department, or through the Title IX Office at SU, she said. If a student wishes to report an incident of sexual assault confidentially, that student can go to SU’s Counseling Center or Vera House in Syracuse.

In addition to the Counseling Center and Vera House, students can also report confidentially to chaplains in Hendricks Chapel or physicians at SU Health Services. All other faculty and staff at SU are considered “responsible employees,” which means they are obligated to report incidents of sexual harassment and/or misconduct upon learning of them.

Johnson-Willis said the number of students who go to the Counseling Center is higher than the number of students who report through Title IX or go through the conduct process, which could be another explanation for why so few cases of sexual assault at the university are noted through the Clery Act. “There’s seeking help and seeking out advocacy and seeking out services, and then there’s going through formal reporting process,” Johnson-Willis said. “They are two different things.”

When choosing to report, students can also decide to disclose a situation and not proceed with the formal reporting process, she added.

of talking about funding for the Academic Strategic Plan, but that she would share their concerns with Syverud.

On the point of priorities, Senators Craig Dudczak and Margaret Susan Thompson both questioned what the university considered most important and, in terms of finances, what the Senate Budget Committee’s role is. Thompson raised issues with the Campus Framework proposal for a University Place promenade.

“Do we have a role in suggesting that maybe these priorities are not what they ought to be?” Thompson said. “In other words, we’ll have this lovely promenade to a library that is ranked embarrassingly low. Why couldn’t

Members of the SU community are not provided with a list of students who commit sexual assault on the university’s campus, Johnson-Willis said, nor are they made aware of these students’ names in any way.

Under “Enough is Enough,” SU is obligated to notate on the student’s transcript if the student is found responsible for committing sexual assault.

Conversely, public institutions, such as those in the State University of New York system, have a slightly different policy. When it comes to disclosing information about cases of sexual violence — which includes rape, sexual assault and sexual coercion — SUNY schools can provide certain information to people other than the parties involved if the accused person was found responsible.

Joe Storch, associate counsel at the SUNY Office of General Counsel and chair of the SUNY Student Affairs Practice Group, said in an email that he would consider SUNY’s policies on sexual assault to be transparent because they were developed by a working group of about three dozen SUNY professionals. That working group, he said, includes presidents, Title IX coordinators, law enforcement, counselors, prevention specialists, Trustees, faculty, students and other outside advocates and experts.

Johnson-Willis said she does not think it would be beneficial to other students to know the names of SU students who have committed sexual assault while at the university.

“I think that when it comes to sexual and relationship violence it’s a very sensitive subject and we wouldn’t want to do anything that would result in deterring people from filing a complaint in the future,” Johnson-Willis said.

She added that there are a lot of factors that people consider when deciding whether they should move forward in the reporting process.

Rebecca Reed Kantrowitz, senior vice president and dean of student affairs at SU, said in the past, the university has expelled and suspended students and put students on probation for sexual misconduct.

“We don’t want students to have this list of students, ‘Well what is this person still doing here?’” Kantrowitz said. “If a person shouldn’t be here because they are harmful to this community, they won’t be here.”

Now that SU is a New York state institution under the “Enough is Enough” legislation, Johnson-Willis said the university does have some new obligations.

“This year we are actually going to be required to provide some of those statistics around some of the formal complaints filed and the outcome,” Johnson-Willis said. “And so those kinds of materials can be informative without disclosing the name of the accused.”

She added that she thinks the university will be able to achieve the same result without disclosing the name of the student impacted in that way.

As far as this new obligation goes, Johnson-Willis said the university has not had much guidance yet, but it has been told that there is an expectation to make public the number of formal complaints, the outcome and the disciplinary action that was taken.

This information would not include any of the parties’ names, she said.

The SU News release published Monday detailed the university’s sexual assault resources and included some information about how many students are seeking support and advocacy for sexual assault. The Sexual and Relationship Violence Response (SRVR) Team provided in-person support, advocacy and discussion of reporting options to 144 students at SU within its first year. The SRVR Team also helped an additional 38 students via phone in its first year.

In the release, Cory Wallack, director of the Counseling Center, said it is difficult to know the exact number of students who have been impacted by sexual and relationship violence.

But the university can figure out some numbers based off data from the SRVR Team, he said.

The Office of Student Assistance at SU provided services to 114 students impacted by sexual and relationship violence in the 201415 academic year, according to the release.

Kantrowitz said the university thinks it is “really important” to be transparent about sexual assault.

“The more information people know — without being overwhelmed by it — the better off they’ll be and people will know how to get help and prevent (sexual assault),” Kantrowitz said.

Johnson-Willis said it would benefit SU as an institution to have students empowering and providing support to other students who decide to share information about their sexual assault with them. She said there is often some uncertainty among students as to how these traumatic events will affect them socially, and that’s not something a university can necessarily handle.

“I think it’s really on the student population to establish a culture where a student feels comfortable reporting without fear of any sort of retaliation,” Johnson-Willis said.

She added that while SU has policies that prohibit retaliation, it is important for other students to be supportive and “understand that it’s that reporting student’s or survivor’s intentions that should be honored.”

At SU there is no statute of limitations on when a student can report a sexual assault, Johnson-Willis said. As long as the accused student is still at the university, SU officials will investigate the case. If the accused student has graduated, then the university would collaborate with local law enforcement.

Wallack said in an interview with The Daily Orange that the United States currently has a culture where reporting is not necessarily encouraged, and he added that this is true for sexual assault on college campuses and off.

“The Clery Act numbers don’t match the one-in-five numbers, yeah they don’t, but we have a society that is set up to tell people not to come forward,” Wallack said.

On whether the Clery Act numbers do more harm than help, Wallack said it depends on the individual. Some people will see the low reporting numbers and think there isn’t a reason to report. Others will look at the low reporting numbers and decide to report.

Changing the culture around reporting sexual assault, Wallack said, would require involvement of both administrators and students.

“Students do at times send the message to other students: ‘I don’t believe you.’ They may socially shun them for making reports.

They may ostracize them,” Wallack said. “So that’s not something that an administration can legislate. We have retaliation policies, but I can’t force you to talk to somebody.”

these priorities be rearranged?”

For several years, SU Libraries has ranked No. 80 or lower on the Association of Research Libraries list of spending by university research libraries, according to the Budget Committee report. The list measures a university’s spending on library materials and library staff.

SU Libraries’ budget currently operates at a deficit in the money it spends on services such as public computers and copiers, security and supplies, according to the report.

The committee suggested providing a 1 percent increase to the libraries’ budget to help balance it.

The conversation then quickly turned back to administrators not involving the University Senate in discussions about Fast Forward initiatives and budgetary concerns.

Carter and Thompson said it’s unclear whether Syverud and other administrators actually believe in shared governance, as many meetings with senators get rescheduled and important reports aren’t released until after the academic year is over.

“There are lots of appointments being made to committees and task forces that in many instances seem to have no real bearing on outcomes, at least tangible outcomes anyway,” Carter said. “… The chancellor has said repeatedly that he’s in favor of shared governance, but the proof is in the pudding.

I don’t see that kind of shared governance happening at least with regard to the budget committee.”

Can Isik, chair of the Senate Agenda Committee, said the committee is currently in the process of bringing together commit-

tee chairs to discuss various issues, including transparency and shared governance.

But that did little to appease senators’ frustrations. As the meeting approached the top of the hour, senators continued to lob criticisms at the chancellor and other administrators.

When Monmonier suggested a vote of no confidence — described by the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges as the “nuclear option” of responses to university leaders — it seemed that the senate had reached a breaking point. The moment was defused when Carter suggested waiting until the senate was at a quorum, or at full participation.

“The university has no respect for faculty governance,” Monmonier shouted. “What is going on here?”

mation Studies courses that will be offered in London, as well as new sustainability courses that will be offered at the center in Florence. “(SU Abroad) did research and we found that the number one reason students were not going abroad was because they couldn’t take the courses that they needed,” Horvath said. “...We tried to respond to that by introducing these new programs and courses.

“It’s very easy to fulfill the needs of, for exam-

ple, a psychology student, because we offer psychology at all of our centers,” Horvath continued.

“But when you’re an iSchool major or a (David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics) major or a (College of Engineering and Computer Science) major, it’s a little more difficult.”

Horvath said 90 percent of students come to SU with the desire to study abroad but only 50 percent of students end up going abroad.

She added that the office has attempted to

figure out the reason for the gap.

The primary roadblock that prevents students from studying abroad is courses, Horvath said. Sometimes this is a result of students doing things such as changing their major often, adding majors and adding minors.

That results in there not being enough time to go abroad and still take the very specific courses required by some majors, she said.

I think it’s really on the student population to establish a culture where a student feels comfortable reporting without fear of any sort of retaliation.

WHO IS SYRACUSE?

ARLETY GONZALEZ was born in Cuba and then came to the United States when she was 13 years old. She lived in Miami before moving to Syracuse to attend the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, and will move to Texas for a job after she graduates.

ARLETY GONZALEZ Senior happily embraces the many transitions, changes in her life Editors’ note: “Who is Syracuse” is a series that runs in The Daily Orange every spring. It highlights individuals who embody the spirit of Syracuse University. Members of the SU community were encouraged to nominate people they thought fit this description. This series explores their stories.

rlety Gonzalez gently plays with her silver necklace as she talks, wrapping the metal around her forefinger. A small heart and eye charm hang from the chain. The gift from her mother acts as a constant reminder of her life back home.

“I just feel like my mom is with me whenever I wear it. I feel like my day isn’t going to go well if I don’t have this,” said Gonzalez, a senior broadcast and digital journalism major.

The piece of jewelry is a just one small symbol that grounds her in a life built on a string of drastic changes and transitions.

Born in Cuba, Gonzalez moved to the United States when she was 13 years old.

The change was terrifying and monumental, she said.

So much was different in the U.S. She remembers how excited she was getting her first cellphone, her own email address and how strange it was to have running water in the bathrooms.

She said coming to America is a dream that all Cubans have when they are born, to release the yolk of a strict government. But few Cubans see the dream fulfilled.

Gonzalez remembers a man carrying a large envelope

coming to their home on June 1, 2006. He asked her mother to sign a few papers.

Confused, her mom thought it was the electric company coming to collect, when she realized their family had won the Diversity Visa Program, an annual lottery that grants 55,000 Cubans visas to come to the U.S., according to the U.S. Embassy website.

“She was so excited, but you don’t tell anybody,” Gonzalez said. “It was a family secret, in Cuba it’s like that, you don’t tell people until you have a date to come.”

So many things can go wrong before that departure date is set. Proper education, citizenship and work documentation has to be filed, and medical examinations have to be passed.

From the moment her mother signed the papers, it was a battle. They had to try to contact her father, who had moved to the U.S. in 1988.

They went into the streets and asked to borrow someone’s cellphone, as they couldn’t make calls to the U.S. from their government-controlled landline, and at the time, there was a private-citizen ban on cellphones.

Gonzalez remembers going to interview at the U.S. Embassy on Oct. 24, 2006. There was a discrepancy with some of the paperwork, so her mother came back again on Oct. 31, but there was still a problem.

“My mom kept going every month to the embassy until they told her don’t come anymore, wait for a call,” Gonzalez said.

The phone rang on Oct. 26, 2007, a year and two days after that first interview. The voice on the other line said they could come pick up their visas.

Then came a whirlwind of emotions and preparations.

online program The two-year process of determining whether this program would happen at the law school entailed a series of discussions with faculty, staff and administrators, Hermalyn said.

Those conversations were largely facultyfocused, he added, and involved discussion about the online education space and educating faculty about what programs are happening at other law schools.

Concern about whether the program will devalue the law school’s residential JD program has also been expressed by some faculty, who “wonder about the wisdom” of going in the hybrid program direction, Banks said. But the hybrid program would ensure the same rigor and acceptance rate that the residential program has, he added, and would enhance the reputation of SU’s residential JD program.

The program is hybrid in that it entails online learning from professors’ pre-filmed lectures and live discussions in combination with a residency component in which students in the program come to the SU campus. Students in the hybrid program will also be required to complete an externship, which is an experimental learning opportunity provided by an educational institution. Students in the residential program at the College of Law also have to do so.

Students in the College of Law, though, are not sure of the quality of the program because they have largely been left out of the conversation about it, said Carbone, the president of SU’s Student Bar Association.

“The students haven’t really been briefed on exactly what the hybrid degree, what the online degree would even look like, so the natural feel right now I think is one of skepticism,” he said.

That skepticism is largely based on students not knowing whether the hybrid program will have the same merit as the resi-

dential program, and if it will be viewed by the outside world as having the same merit.

There’s also concern among law school students that the hybrid program will reflect poorly upon the College of Law. In the legal field in general, and given the current state of the legal job market, Carbone said the reputation of one’s law school is “a huge deal.”

“So they’re worried that if Syracuse Law, just the brand name, is offering an online JD, it will make us kind of look not as formal and professional, not as established and kind of almost — I don’t want to say needy, but that’s the kind of view I’ve seen from students is that this almost makes us look needy,” he said.

Only a handful of students, including Carbone, knew about the idea to create the program before it was announced last week. But besides that handful, the majority of students, Carbone said, were “completely blindsided.”

Once Carbone was informed about the program after talks with Banks, the interim dean of the law school, he became receptive to the idea. He said he thinks the program will “actually make us more prestigious.”

But more communication about the program between students and faculty is something the SBA will focus on next year, Carbone said, adding that he thinks students are looking for that communication. Key players in the program, like Banks and law Professor Nina Kohn, who has led the charge on the program, need to speak to students about the program, Carbone said, “and really be as open and transparent as possible” about it.

“I know academics and the faculty and the staff are important, but going to law school and doing anything with a degree affects students the most, so to not have their input would really be I think poor judgment on the decision makers,” he said. “It would be unwise to not have student input.” atorrens@syr.edu

COFFEE AND TEA CAPPUCCINO, $3.25 AT CAFE KUBAL

COFFEE & TEA

Whoever decided to inject caffeine into chocolate is a genius.

These are surprisingly tasty and get the job done. Too bad this combination of a sugar rush and caffeine high will be wasted staring at a computer screen.

I advise ordering extra chips on or keep some fresh ones handy, as the toppings often make nachos soggy.

COOL LIME REFRESHER, TALL, STARBUCKS: $2.95 It’s not coffee and it’s not tea, but it’s still got caffeine in it to fuel the day. Starbucks’ Refreshers are perfect for getting an extra kick when coffee and tea become too boring.

DARK CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CUPS: $4.29 These are dangerously addictive, mainly because Trader Joe’s uses super creamy peanut butter. These are infinitely better than regular peanut butter cups, which are pretty damn good already.

Little moments define student’s experience studying abroad

S

tudying abroad can be summed up in a series of moments.

Some of these moments are big occasions. Like getting off the chair lift at the Great Wall and seeing what seems to be all of China spread out before you.

Some of them are small, seemingly insignificant events. Like going on a hike and seeing wild, but docile monkeys and no squirrels.

They all make you say to yourself, “Wow. I’m in a very different place.”

The study abroad experience comes with big life changes. For the past four months, I haven’t been able to drink tap water. I get stared at every day because I’m blonde and there aren’t many blonde people here. I haven’t been able to find pulp-free orange juice.

However, I’ve gotten used to these things.

At the beginning, they made me think about the fact that I’m not home. But now, they’re just part of my everyday life.

Instead, the small moments are the most impactful. They’re the unsuspected things.

They take me by surprise.

When I visited Thailand, I walked down the beach with two friends. I saw a little kid digging a hole in the sand. It seemed like an everyday scene, something I used to do as a child. The only difference is when I was little, I used to pretend to be digging a hole all the way to China. I wondered if this kid was trying to dig to the United States.

One day, I was sitting at my university between classes. There was a bulletin board where clubs advertise events. I’ve seen similar setups at every university I’ve visited.

This one was a little different though. Right

in front of me was a bright yellow poster advertising a trip to North Korea to “Reimagine the world’s most isolated state via witnessing the unprecedented changes in the country.” Needless to say, I’ve never seen a poster like that on one of the Syracuse club bulletin boards.

Before coming here, I expected to be awed by big things like the Great Wall of China and to adapt to huge cultural differences like unclean tap water. What I didn’t expect were the little lessons I would learn every day just by living a normal life.

When I first arrived in Hong Kong, everything was new and different, exciting and scary. As the time passed, I started to get into a routine and what used to be exotic and foreign became a part of daily life.

One day, I realized that I wasn’t looking out of the windows on my train ride to school anymore. I was staring at my phone like all the other commuters. What was outside the window wasn’t interesting to me anymore because I’d seen it so many times.

I realized I had adapted. I had built a “normal” life in a very different place. I’m glad that I had my little everyday differences that reminded me about my amazing opportunity to study and live here.

THROUGH THEIR LENS VPA seniors showcase final work in feminist photography and video exhibit

By Hanna Horvath staff writer

R

achel Glynn found the idea for her senior thesis by finding something that “pissed” her off and going from there. This Saturday, Glynn and five other College of Visual and Performing Arts seniors will be featuring their senior thesis artwork, titled “Girls,” at Spark Contemporary Art Space in downtown Syracuse.

The pieces will highlight the female body and empowerment in different ways.

Glynn, an art photography major, said the exhibit features a variety of photography methods and even film installations. Glynn said the ideas for their pieces came from a project about intimacy started junior year.

She defines intimacy as “the weird things you do when you are by yourself,” and used that concept to highlight how women’s bodies are controlled by other people. She gave the example of the stigma around tampons.

“People are so grossed out by it, but you would never let us walk around without them,” she said. “I feel like women are always saying sorry and attaching

qualifiers. It’s about empowering the female body.”

Glynn’s work is a combination of photographs portraying the human form and feminine beauty products and items, from shaving cream to tampons to underwear.

I think art is really powerful because it creates a visualization that evokes emotion, whether good or bad, comfortable or uncomfortable, and can really open topics of conversation.

Steph Nelson su student and artist

A year ago, Glynn started planning for the exhibit with some tentative ideas that she would jot down in a notebook during class. From there, it was a flurry of critiques, reshoots and photo editing.

“You think you have the perfect idea, and you go to your critique and your professor says you are wrong,” Glynn said.

The actual exhibition was set up with professors, but each student got to choose the layout of their installation. They also had to manage refreshments and the guest list.

She stressed that an important part of galleries are the people who attend them.

She will offer free food and wine in the room showcasing her and fellow artist Hana Katz’s work.

While Glynn may have had idea from the beginning, Katz grappled with what she wanted to do. She said she just began narrowing her idea down within the last couple of weeks.

Katz describes her work as “a timeline of past relationships.” Her work includes self portraits and profile photographs, in addition to an installation video of her and her mom telling each other things they didn’t know about each other. The overall theme of her work focuses on toxic relationships she had in her past. She wants the work to show how she is taking both her power and happiness back from men.

Steph Nelson, a sophomore environmen-

tal and interior design major, is planning on attending the event and said that as an artist herself, she enjoys attending events at Spark.

She was especially excited when she saw Spark was hosting a feminist exhibit.

“I think art is really powerful because it creates a visualization that evokes emotion, whether good or bad, comfortable or uncomfortable, and can really open topics of conversation,” Nelson said. “I like art that explores controversial subjects, like society’s outlook or oppression on women.”

Nelson said she hopes a lot of men attend this event and see what feminine art looks like. Hopefully from there, they can begin engaging in conversation.

“I think calling yourself a feminist is such a taboo subject, especially in college and at this age,” she said, “There is such a misconception around the word and there needs to be some enlightenment on the topic.”

Besides hoping to engage and entertain patrons such as Nelson, Katz said the six artists are simply excited to enjoy the time with family, friends and professors.

“It’s finally done,” Katz said, “I can’t believe it’s up in the gallery space.” hrhorvat@syr.edu

SARGALSKI SA will often get credit for the work it accomplishes, but both Hong and Seedat said they couldn’t do it without Sargalski and his staff.

Aside from advising Seedat and Hong on personal and SA-related issues, Sargalski guides all students in the right direction for whatever passion they bring to the table. He helps them zero in on what it is they want out of their event, program or initiative.

Sargalski often credits Student Activities’ work to his team — the staff and the students themselves, but rarely himself, even when he plays a large role in a lot of the work.

“I’m here for the students,” Sargalski said. “This whole position, this whole office is here for the students. Without the students, this office doesn’t exist.”

There’s no denying that maintaining

WHO IS SYRACUSE? office work, student relationships, 12-hour work days and family life is a lot, but Sargalski keeps a level head.

He critiques SU because he loves it and he knows that we could constantly be doing better.

GONZALEZ Schoolwork went out the window, the family threw parties every month and Gonzalez spent as much time with her friends as possible.

When it was finally the day to leave, Dec. 18, 2007, her neighbors, family and friends poured out of their homes to wave goodbye and to say farewell at the airport.

“It was emotional. Actually passing the line in the airport where you couldn’t see them anymore was the hardest.” Gonzalez said. “My little sister was screaming, my mom was crying, it was just very emotional.”

The flight to Miami from Cuba is 45 minutes, but the differences in technology and freedom made the two places feel a world apart. Growing up in Miami was “simply amazing.” The strong Cuban culture in the city made the transition easier.

She met new friends in high school, and fostered her love for television reporting when she got her associates degree in mass communications at Miami Dade College.

While most of her friends chose to go to a local university, she wanted another drastic change. So she transferred to a school in central New York known for its cold weather and top-notch journalism school.

“People say, ‘You don’t seem like you’re from Miami. People from Miami complain when it is this cold.’ Not me, I am cool with it,” Gonzalez said.

She credits Syracuse University with her development as a person over the last two years. This is the place where she met her boyfriend, met her best friends and became comfortable going live on-air.

Every Sunday, she had a chance to hone her broadcast skills working for CitrusTV Noticias, a student-run Spanish news program.

“With Arlety, when I first met her she didn’t really know what she was doing, but she was very willing to learn, she wanted to learn more, she wanted to do more,” said Sarah Valenzuela, a senior broadcast and digital journalism and political science dual major and co-worker at CitrusTV. “And now

dailyorange.com

I think she’s one of the best reporters coming out of this school.”

Keren Henderson, one of Gonzalez’s broadcast professors, spoke highly of her upbeat attitude and genuine interest in the people she reports on.

“Being a senior in any college program is challenging — we have the term senioritis for a reason,” Henderson said. “She just doesn’t seem subject to senioritis. She has that enthusiasm for this job and this career path that she has chosen.”

As graduation looms on the horizon, another transition awaits. She recently accepted a job in Abilene, Texas, as a multimedia journalist broadcasting in Spanish.

People say, ‘You don’t seem like you’re from Miami.

People from Miami complain when it is this cold.’ Not me, I am cool with it.

ARLETY GONZALEZ Gonzalez will once again pick up her life, travel across the country and start anew in a place she has never been.

She admits she’s nervous, but knows she can handle it. She’s had enough practice.

For now, she’s trying to enjoy the last couple of weeks before graduation. Like many seniors, she is frequenting Faegan’s and Chuck’s, sipping on her drink of choice, Bacardi — originally made in Cuba.

“I feel like I am growing so much from every little step I take, every transition,” Gonzalez said. “I get to know myself better and I am so happy.” jagedets@syr.edu | @jacobgedetsis

sex and health

Lacking responsibility, media influences society’s sex expectations

W

hen the sixth season of “Game Of Thrones” premiered Sunday, one thing fans expected was plenty of sex scenes.

Dim lighting, blankets made out of wolf fur and sexual tension that can only be satiated in the bedroom — “Game of Thrones” isn’t shy when it comes to intercourse. In fact, the show often features rape, incest, sexual infidelity and prostitution.

These portrayals of sex in the media may influence society’s sexual interactions. In the college setting, many of my girlfriends have told me their hook ups are especially aggressive in bed.

I was once asked to recreate the Khal Drogo and Daenerys Targaryen wedding night from “Game of Thrones.” Not knowing what this scene was, I was appalled when I found out it was the night of her sexual assault. His request was a direct reference to this episode.

“I think violence in sex is more universally received because it translates better,” said Keith Giglio, a screenwriting professor at Syracuse University. “If you take a gun out and shoot, everyone is going to react.

You see someone naked, everyone is going to react. I think the need for global eyeballs affects the content on television.”

I don’t think the media has ever felt a sense of responsibility for its viewers.

They think about what makes money.

Maybe during the time of family hour, when everyone would gather around the television to watch a show, there was more

censorship with nudity. However, since the advent of the internet and streaming content there seems to be much more availability of sex on screens.

I think violence in sex is more universally recieved because it translates better.

If you take a gun out and shoot, everyone is going to react. You see someone naked, everyone is going to react. I think the need for global eyeballs affects the content on television.

Keith Giglio screenwriting professor at su

Sex is the gateway for getting attention.

“HBO with ‘Game of Thrones’ does the term ‘sexposition,’” Giglio said. “Exposition is when you’re watching a show like ‘Scandal’ and Kerry Washington tells you everything. ‘Sexposition’ is when everybody has a conversation but they’re naked. It’s eye candy.”

FOLLOW @DAILYORANGE ON TWITTER & INSTAGRAM

Sex on television led to another kind of plot and spoke on a different rhetoric of sexual health. Flipping through television channels during my adolescent years, I’d pass shows like “16 and Pregnant,” reruns of “Zoey 101” and “The Secret Life of the American Teenager.” These shows all had one commonality — pregnancy.

From relationship struggles to tough decisions that I could never imagine having to deal with as an adolescent, “16 and Pregnant” follows the lives of teenagers throughout their pregnancies. Since its inception in 2009, the success from “16 and Pregnant” shot teenagers into stardom with a spinoff series called “Teen Mom.” It was suddenly much easier to profit off an unwanted pregnancy. It made me think that if I got pregnant as a teenager, I could easily make a living selling my story. Sure, my parents would be livid, but I could call up MTV and use it for dynamic storytelling.

Growing up, these shows made me correlate sex with pregnancy. But at the same time, they also glamourized sex and pregnancy.

I can’t recall an actual episode where a guy stopped foreplay to put on a condom.

“You don’t see it because of the Motion Picture Association of America film rating system,” Giglio said. “It’s sexism at its worst in Hollywood. But if you show an erection on film, it’s an NC-17.”

I firmly believe humans are creatures of habit. I think if someone sees enough sex in

a certain type of light, they’re more willing to copy it.

“Does the media reflect what’s happening in society?” Giglio asked. “Or does society reflect what’s happening in movies? Many think (the education aspect) slows down the scene.”

This could very well explain why much of the time, people don’t want to stop foreplay and put on a condom. It might offer reason as to why casual sex has become so popular.

Giglio added that today, there’s an emptiness to sex in the media. Morality drives the plot, but sex gets you into it — it draws people in.

But the media isn’t the best place to learn new sex moves or how to even practice safe sex. It does offer a door to talk about intercourse, but it shouldn’t be the end of the conversation. The best way to communicate about sex is to have relevant conversation and just walk through it.

NFL Draft preview: Where SU players are projected

By Sam Fortier asst. copy editor

Only two of Syracuse’s eight players who attended the school’s pro day are projected to be selected in the National Football League Draft in Chicago this weekend.

Former SU defensive end Ron Thompson is projected by FOXSports.com to be drafted No. 94 overall in the third round by the Denver Broncos. Seven-round mock drafts by NFL.com and Pro Football Focus don’t have Thompson being drafted at all.

The other former Orange projected to be drafted is punter and fake-kick aficionado Riley Dixon. He impressed at the NFL Combine in February as ESPN analyst Mel Kiper ranked him the No. 2 punter available in the Draft.

The other six players — quarterback Terrel Hunt, linebacker Oliver Vigille, defensive back Julian Whigham and offensive linemen Ivan Foy, Nick Robinson and Rob Trudo — are not projected to be drafted.

Analysts say it’s difficult to project where Thompson fits into a defense. He shifted from tight end to defensive end in college and is listed as an outside linebacker, defensive end or combination of both by most draft sites. His NFL.com draft player page lists him as a defensive lineman.

The 6-foot-3, 255-pound defender’s strengths, per multiple analyses, are his quickness, athleticism and intelligence.

His weaknesses are his poor finishing ability as a tackler, that relies too much on his hands and a lack of aggressiveness.

The play that launched Thompson’s draft stock, CBS Sports’ Rob Rang wrote, was the sack against No. 8 Louisiana State in which he beat Tigers’ right tackle and

projected first-rounder Vadal Alexander.

NFL Draft expert Lance Zierlein sees Thompson as a strong fit as an edge rusher in a defense that plays a 3-4 scheme and compares him to New York Jets outside linebacker Lorenzo Mauldin, formerly of Louisville.

Dixon’s NFL.com draft player page lists his strengths as his poise under pressure, ability to control punts inside the 20-yard-line and hang time. The former SU punter forced fair catches on 40.8 and 42.4 percent of his punts the last two seasons, respectively. His weaknesses are listed as his average leg strength and issues with the wind when playing outside of a Dome.

The 6-foot-5, 219-pound right-footed punter has been hyping his ability to do more than just kick, tweeting a homage video to the fakes he ran at SU. He was one of six punters invited to the Combine, but did not run the 40-yard dash, bench press or perform any non-kicking drills.

Number of players Syracuse had drafted in 2015

Fox Sports projects Dixon to be drafted by the New England Patriots 243rd overall at the tail end of the seventh round. NFL.com pegged Dixon as a late seventh round selection by the Pittsburgh Steelers and Pro Football Focus did not project him to be taken at all. Last season, only one punter and zero kickers were drafted. sjfortie@syr.edu | @Sam4TR

SU faces another challenging offensive midfield unit

By Paul Schwedelson asst. sports editor

The goals started piling in and not even from the players closest to the net. Not even 10 minutes had passed and North Carolina midfielder Michael Tagliaferri already fired in two.

The prior game, Cornell midfielder Clarke Petterson led the Big Red with three goals.

In back-to-back games in March, Johns Hopkins midfielder Cody Radziewicz scored three times and Duke midfielder Deemer Class exploded for seven goals.

The Orange’s struggle to stop opposing midfielders has cost SU throughout the year.

So Tagliaferri’s breakout first quarter was nothing new. But then Tagliaferri didn’t score again until the third quarter. And even though he scored twice more, SU’s offense already built a lead it wouldn’t give up en route to a 13-7 win.

“It clicked (against UNC), big time for us,” defensive midfielder Austin Fusco said.

A week and a half later, No. 4 seed Syracuse (8-4, 2-2 Atlantic Coast) preps to again face the No. 1 seed Tar Heels (8-5, 3-1) in the ACC tournament semifinals on Friday at 6 p.m. in Kennesaw, Georgia. And if the Orange can contain opposing midfielders, it’ll only have a better shot at winning its second consecutive conference tournament title.

In SU’s first matchup against UNC this season, Syracuse put a short-stick midfielder on Tagliaferri and its long pole on Patrick Kelly. Only four long poles — typically three defenders and one midfielder — are allowed on the field, so the Orange had to pick who to defend with the extra 3 feet.

For much of the season, the secondary midfield option beat Syracuse. Kelly has scored more goals on the year than Tagliaferri. Yet it was Tagliaferri who took advantage of the matchup.

“I don’t know,” defensive midfielder Scott Firman said of why midfielders tend to score more than attacks against SU. “… I guess good players are going to get their points. It’s just a matter of limiting in those cases.”

With the defenders locking up opposing

attacks, the battle between midfielders has often become the difference, especially in the three one-goal losses the Orange suffered. Part of it relates to starting short-stick defensive midfielder Tom Grimm missing time due to injury. But SU head coach John Desko said he expects Grimm to be back to 100 percent for the ACC semifinals.

As the season progressed, the defensive unit worked to speed up its slide. Once a defender gets beat, the player who is “hot,” the one who is expected to pick up for his teammate’s mistake, needs to get to the offensive player with the ball faster, Fusco said.

“Our defensive midfielders have taken it a little more personal because we want to make sure that we try and lock down those middies,” Fusco said. “Because we feel like our defensemen have the advantage over their attackmen.”

At one point in the first matchup against the Tar Heels, Syracuse switched to a zone defense. The reasoning was to slow down UNC’s offense and force it to waste more time while trailing by several goals in the second half. It’s something the Orange practices every week and is prepared to use in any game.

But the zone is only a change of pace.

The Tar Heels have two starting midfielders with at least 22 goals scored this season and with one of them likely to be matched up against a short stick, SU will have to speed up its defensive rotations and close down on UNC’s space to shoot — two things Syracuse hasn’t fully mastered this season.

“Depending on what’s working for them, they’re able to get their best shooters in certain spots,” Desko said, “and find a crack in the lining against the defense.”

And whether or not the cracks remain this weekend could determine Syracuse’s postseason fate. pmschwed@syr.edu | @pschweds

Treanor looks to continue draw dominance in ACC tourney

By Tomer Langer asst. copy editor

When Kayla Treanor stepped into the draw circle in the season opener against Loyola, it marked a new layer added to her illustrious career. And just like most everything else she’s done, Treanor thrived on the draw that day, setting a school record with 19 draw controls and putting any concerns of former faceoff specialist Kailah Kempney’s departure in the rearview mirror.

SU’s 14.28 draw controls per game is the fourth-best mark in the country and Treanor’s individual mark of 9.06 per game is the best in the country. SU has won almost 90 more draws than its opponents through 18 games.

But if Treanor and the Orange have faced any difficulties in the circle, it’s been during conference play. SU only has a six-draw advantage (90-84) against Atlantic Coast Conference opponents.

Prior to Saturday ’s game against

Louisville, ACC opponents actually had won one more draw.

“No, not at all,” assistant coach Michelle Tumolo said of whether SU’s in-conference mark is cause for concern.

On Saturday, Treanor and the Orange made a statement. Louisville draw specialist Kaylin Morissette led the nation in draw controls coming into the game, yet SU won 16 draws, losing just 9.

9.06

Average number of draws Kayla Treanor grabs per game, which is the best in the U.S.

Syracuse (14-4, 5-2 ACC) starts ACC Tournament play on Thursday and it’s the first time it’s playing an opponent twice. Treanor will face players who already neutralized her in the draw circle once before. For Syracuse to have success against Boston College (10-7,

2-5), a team that beat SU, 13-8, this year, and won the draw battle, 13-10, Treanor and SU will have to earn more possessions.

“I think Kayla’s dialed in, she’s got it covered,” Tumolo continued. “I think we’re hitting better competition, and they have a lot of legit draw people on these teams.”

Treanor is skilled enough in the draw circle to employ different tactics, whether it’s flicking the ball up high to herself, or aiming it at a specific teammate or area.

The SU senior and head coach Gary Gait said that the reason other teams have had some more success on the draw is because their draw specialists try to pull the ball toward players on the outside to make it a groundball scramble.

Tumolo said that if SU knows that the opponent’s draw specialist pulls the ball away from Treanor, it reacts by placing extra players in those areas. If Treanor can’t win the draw herself, SU relies on its outside players to scoop up the groundballs. Facing teams’ draw specialists for the second time gives

Syracuse the advantage, Gait said.

“The great thing about it is now we’ll have film on every opponent that we’ve played and we can make adjustments,” Gait said.

“And that’s a good thing to have.”

Taking the draw requires additional preparation before the game, Treanor said, and while most in-game play is natural instincts, the draw requires rigorously honed techniques. Treanor said she suffered from tendinitis in her wrists at the start of the season because she practiced the draw so much.

Now, the pain in her wrists has subdued.

And with the postseason coming up, she has no plans on asking for a break from her draw duties. Gait wants his best player at the draw circle with the game on the line, and Treanor wants to be there, too.

“When the game gets down to the wire it comes down to who can get control of the draw,” Treanor said. “You feel that pressure a lot, it’s definitely an added pressure, but it’s nice to have control over that.” tdlanger@syr.edu | @tomer_langer

O’Hara embraces switch to reliever after time as starter

By Matt Feldman staff writer

Sydney O’Hara has always been a starting pitcher.

The right-hander started every game in the circle for Cicero-North Syracuse High School, she said, and continued as a starter when she came to Syracuse for college.

“Throughout my entire life, I started mostly every game,” O’Hara said. “I’m used to starting.”

But because of the effects from an injury she suffered last season, O’Hara has been taken out of her comfort zone.

Her innings are limited, and she’s now entering games in relief instead of starting them. The junior has started just one of the 22 games she’s pitched in this season, but with a conference-best 1.30 earned run average, O’Hara is excelling in her new role.

She’ll likely enter in relief when Syracuse (25-21, 9-11 Atlantic Coast) hosts Siena (21-16, 6-6 Metro Atlantic Athletic) for a doubleheader on Thursday with games at 3 and 5 p.m.

“It’s more of a mindset that ‘this is what I’m going to be from this point on,’” Syracuse head coach Mike Bosch said. “She was able to handle that.”

As a freshman at SU in 2014, O’Hara started 27 of the Orange’s 49 games and was a first-team All-ACC selection. With 16 wins and an ERA of 3.83, O’Hara turned in one of the best freshman pitching seasons

in team history.

But then in the spring of her sophomore season, she was diagnosed with golfer’s elbow, a condition that sidelined her for the rest of the season.

The injury really tore me apart, but when I came back, I worked twice as hard. I knew I had to do something to help the team — even if it was going in one or two innings at the end of the game.

after playing the outfield for a few innings, instead of just coming straight from warmups. Sometimes she’ll play left field, run in to warm up and then bat before playing left field again.

“It’s hard doing all of that,” O’Hara said.

Despite the adjustment and return from injury, O’Hara allows just 0.6 hits per inning — the best on the team.

Her 4.3 hits allowed per seven innings is 10th best in nation.

On Feb. 19, though, Bosch approached O’Hara to tell her that she’d be starting her first game of the season in just the fifth game

of the year. She looked at him, wide-eyed, and said, “Wait, what?”

She lasted 2 2/3 innings, giving up just two hits and no runs, but it’s been her only start of the 2016 campaign.

Being a reliever is her new comfort zone. Starting games is what’s unusual.

And O’Hara is not in any hurry to get her old role back.

“I have taken on the role (as a reliever) and dealt with it,” O’Hara said. “I guess (becoming a starter again) will just take time.” mjfel100@syr.edu @Feldy_Fresh

“The injury really tore me apart, but when I came back, I worked twice as hard,” O’Hara said. “I knew I had to do something to help the team — even if it was going in one or two innings at the end of the game.”

After working back from her injury in the offseason, O’Hara was thrust into her new role out of the bullpen this spring, usually seeing between one to four innings per game.

She’s had to adjust her routine, considering she’s usually taking the circle

4 players earn All-ACC honors

Kayla Treanor, Mallory Vehar named All-ACC

By Connor Grossman asst. web editor

The All-Atlantic Coast Conference men’s lacrosse team was announced Wednesday afternoon, with Dylan Donahue, Nick Mariano, Sergio Salcido and Brandon Mullins representing Syracuse (8-4, 2-2 ACC) on the 18-man list.

Donahue is a second-time qualifier for the all-conference team, as the senior attack leads the conference with 2.25 assists

per game. His 21 goals are tied for second most on the Orange, and he leads the unit with 48 points.

Several of Donahue’s 27 assists have been dished to Mariano, who’s flourished in his first season with SU. He’s the team’s leading goal scorer with 29 tallies, where as last year on Massachusetts he led the team with only 22 scores.

The only first-time starter to crack the list for Syracuse is Salcido, who’s success this season has openly surprised head coach

John Desko. The 5-foot-7 midfielder has scored 21 times, and has three games this season with five or more points. Mullins is the only returner to the All-ACC team with Donahue, and the fifth-year defender has once again anchored the Orange’s counterattack. His 22 caused turnovers are at least double anyone else on the team, and has helped SU allow the secondfewest goals per game in the ACC. cgrossma@syr.edu @connorgrossman

Syracuse attack Kayla Treanor and defender Mallory Vehar were named to the All-Atlantic Coast Conference women’s lacrosse team by an ACC head coach vote on Tuesday afternoon.

Treanor was named, for the fourth consecutive year, to the

first team. Vehar earned secondteam honors.

Treanor leads Syracuse in every offensive statistical category with 69 points from 41 goals and 28 assists. She is first in the nation with 154 draw controls. Treanor leads the ACC in assists per game (1.75) and draw controls per game (8.94). She also ranks second in the
