Chancellor Kent Syverud visited protesters in Crouse-Hinds Hall around 3 p.m. Tuesday for the first time since the start of their sit-in on Monday night.

Syverud told students that he would read the document of grievances and demands they submitted after they marched to Crouse-Hinds following the Diversity and Transparency Rally. More than 100 students attended the rally outside of Hendricks Chapel Monday afternoon, and about 40 slept in Crouse-Hinds Monday night. Syverud was in New York City Monday, and was not part of a meeting among protesters and administrators on Monday night.

Syverud said he was appointing Bea Gonzalez, dean of University College, as the liaison between the group of protesters and the chancellor. Syverud was joined by Dean of Student Affairs Rebecca Reed Kantrowitz, Senior Vice President of Public Affairs Kevin Quinn and a few other administrators. Syverud was only in the lobby where the protesters were camping out for a few minutes before leaving, several students said.

Protesters are planning to stay until at least Thursday, which is when the Board of Trustees will meet and vote on its new mission and vision statement.
