Join us this Thurs 7/31 at Brooklyn College where we are demanding that President Anderson reinstate 4 of our adjunct colleagues. This blatant overturning of departmental decisions and needs, due process, and academic freedom appears to be retaliation for their activism in support of Palestine.

Thurs July 31 at 4 pm, Bedford Gates Brooklyn College. Stop the repression!

Felo just explicitly averred that the four recently fired adjuncts were fired on the basis of “antisemitism.” We knew this was a political purge and now it has been confirmed.

PSC’s so called-antisemitic BDS resolutions were raised, union named, Felo said the union doesn’t speak for CUNY. On the contrary WE are the union! (and sadly our last BDS resolution did not pass 😒)

Who gets to be safe on college campuses??

Chancellor says he will not rest until all students are safe AND proud to have called police on students. We guess he’ll get to “all” students by expelling everyone who protests…

Tim Walberg, who has said of Gaza that "it should be like Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Get it over quick," questioned Felo about the Palestinian job postings at Hunter College. Felo affirmed that the search is ongoing but language of settler-colonialism has been removed.

Felo’s opening statement fully conflated student encampments (protesting institutions’ complicity with genocide) with antisemitism. And erased the strong presence of Jewish voices and identity as part of anti-genocide actions. Jews who oppose genocide do NOT feel safe on campus!

On July 9, the CUNY Chancellor along with the leaders of UC Berkeley and Georgetown, will testify to the congressional committee on “antisemitism in higher education.” Orgs from these universities call on leaders to defend their institutions from these cynical and dishonest investigations.
