HeadlineFeb 27, 2025

New York Governor Kathy Hochul is under fire after ordering CUNY, the City University of New York, to immediately remove a job posting for a Palestinian studies professor at Hunter College. The job listing called for “a historically grounded scholar who takes a critical lens to issues pertaining to Palestine including but not limited to: settler colonialism, genocide, human rights, apartheid, migration, climate and infrastructure devastation, health, race, gender, and sexuality.” Governor Hochul said the post was antisemitic, after complaints by Zionist groups.
