Advocates and Jewish groups accuse the City University of New York (CUNY) school systems administration of neglecting widespread antisemitism at its 26 colleges.
CUNY’s chancellor, Felix Matos Rodríguez, canceled his appearance at the hearing at the Committee of Higher Education at the last minute, the second time he has put off his attendance. No administrators from CUNY attend in person.
Five council members are in attendance out of 51 in the council, and a couple dozen protesters gather in front of city hall.
"Him not showing up is perpetuating the antisemitism we’re talking about," Council Member Inna Vernikov says of the chancellor. "What a sham. What an insult to the Jewish community."
Faculty and students are set to address the politicians about their experience of antisemitism on campus. Three CUNY administrators are tuning in via Zoom.
Committee chair Eric Dinowitz shares anecdotes about antisemitism on campuses. Jewish students who were praying were called "dirty Jews," he says, with no response from the administration. In other cases, students called for violence against Jews, or spoke in favor of Adolf Hitler

Boston-area college employee fired over repeated antisemitic, racist graffiti
[IsraelTimes] A Boston-area college has fired an employee it said was responsible for terrorizing the campus for months with antisemitic and racist messages.
Curry College, in the suburb of Milton, announced Thursday it had identified the perpetrator of the graffiti dating back to International Holocaust Remembrance Day in January, when swastikas and other hateful messages began appearing on campus.
The college’s president, Kenneth Quigley Jr., said the culprit had been identified with the help of an FBI
...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time...investigation, and that the employee was "terminated and removed from our community." At least five separate acts of vandalism were recorded, targeting both the college’s Jewish and Black students.
The employee is not currently facing state criminal charges, the Boston Globe reported.
"The College recognizes and regrets the impact these bias acts have had on our students, families, faculty, and staff throughout the spring semester and hope this will allow us to continue moving forward," Quigley wrote in his statement. "It is our hope that this will bring some closure to the series of events we all suffered through."
Curry College had taken intense measures to protect students during the height of the graffiti, moving classes online in February after threats against the Black community mentioned a specific date. Hundreds participated in rallies and marches in support of the targeted communities on campus. The school had also offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrator.
