Antisemitism policies at New York City colleges will be reviewed amid ongoing campus protests over the war between Israel and Hamas
An independent party will review antisemitism policies at the City University of New York, the nation's largest urban public university system, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Tuesday, as protests about the war between Israel and Hamas erupt on college campuses across the country. Hochul, a Democrat, said the review will assess how the college system handles antisemitism complaints and will make recommendations on how administrators can better protect Jewish students and faculty.
“As a Judge and lawyer, my focus has always been first and foremost on fairness and equal justice,' Lippman said in a written statement. “That same sense of fairness, and freedom from intimidation, for Jewish students and all others in CUNY’s academic community, will be at the center of my review.” The City University of New York issued a statement saying that it would cooperate with the review.
