A building on Syracuse University's campus was vandalized with racist graffiti Wednesday, an incident that comes only days after a similar event occurred in one of the university's residence halls.

The original incident led to student protests on Wednesday after the university refused to disclose the nature of the graffiti. Those protests occurred at the same time as the second incident, which took place in a bathroom stall in the university's physics building.

In an Instagram post by Renegade Magazine, a publication that describes itself as a platform for Black college students said that the n-word was graffiti in the bathroom.

"On Wednesday, Nov, 6, in Day Hall, not only did someone take out all the light fixtures and put them in the toilets, they wrote the N-word across the bathrooms on both floors," Renegade Magazine said earlier this week. "Once notified of the actions, the chief of the department of public safety, the chief diversity officer, the dean of students, and an administrator told the residents on the floors to not spread any photos or videos of the incident."

"I'm disgusted by the recent rash of hateful language found scrawled on the walls at Syracuse University, where students from around the world are drawn each year in the pursuit of higher learning," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday in a statement reported by NBC News. "These types of hateful and bigoted actions seek to splinter and segregate our communities, and they have no place in New York — period."

According to a statement by the Governor's office, Cuomo has directed the State Police Hate Crimes Task Force and State Division of Human Rights to assist in the investigation on the campus. At this time, no suspects have been identified in either incident.
