How anti Semitism works at CUNY-Hunter college...


CUNY modifies Hunter College ‘Palestinian Studies’ job listing after Gov. Hochul ordered it removed


The City University of New York has quietly re-posted a Palestinian studies professorship job listing for Hunter College — just weeks after Gov. Kathy Hochul ordered it be deleted amid concerns it demonized Israel and would spark antisemitic backlash. 

Hochul demanded the taxpayer-funded Manhattan college remove the controversial posting last month after The Post revealed CUNY had started advertising for a scholar who was concerned with “settler colonialism, genocide human rights [and] apartheid.” 

Now, a revised job posting has since appeared on the Upper East Side institution’s website — with key tweaks.

The City University of New York has quietly re-posted a Palestinian studies professorship job listing for Hunter College — absent of the phrases settler colonialism, genocide human rights [and] apartheid.”  CUNY

“We are open to diverse theoretical and methodological approaches and seek historically grounded candidates who take a critical lens to issues pertaining to Palestine, who are interested in public-facing work, and who exhibit a commitment to being part of the life of the college, a diverse and dynamic public and majority-minority undergraduate serving institution,” the new job ad states.

It is a slight shift from the original ad, which 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.”
