Former AG Loretta Lynch issues report on Syracuse University's campus police after student protests
CNN
Former US Attorney General Loretta Lynch released her final report Monday into Syracuse University's Department of Public Safety, capping a nearly yearlong inquiry into the department.
University Chancellor Kent Syverud announced Lynch's independent review of campus public safety in February 2020, in the wake of student protests over the university's handling of racist incidents on campus. The former attorney general currently serves as a partner at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP. Students' complaints often extended to the campus public safety department itself. During a sit-in at Crouse-Hinds Hall that month, students told CNN that public safety officials had initially refused to allow community members to give food to students protesting.
In southeast Washington, DC, children stood in line Friday to receive new backpacks filled with school supplies, while community organizers passed out free hot dogs and hamburgers to teenagers to celebrate the last few days of summer before. But just a few blocks away, the sight of National Guard trucks cut into the celebration — a reminder that the school year will begin under the shadow of federal troops.

President Donald Trump’s foreign envoy Steve Witkoff — one of three American participants in Friday’s summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin — described on Sunday several major agreements reached during the Alaska talks that he said created strong momentum toward a peace agreement with Ukraine.
