Inside Higher Ed: ‘Nonsense Detectives’ Give Academic Resources New Life Online. “As of last month, Wikipedia now contains a lengthy article on travel training that [Patrick] McGee helped write, using—and citing—numerous primary sources in CUNY’s archives as part of an initiative led by Richard Knipel, who started in March as the City University of New York’s first Wikimedian in […]

When your college president calls the police to manage a protest on campus, and the police use violence against the students, there is no walking back from that. It is unforgivable. The president must go. #USHigerEd #PublicEducation #Protest #PoliceViolence #CUNY

"CUNY Posts Modified Palestinian Studies Jobs After Gov’s Removal Order
New faculty position listing no longer references 'settler colonialism, genocide and apartheid' after Gov. Kathy Hochul directed Hunter College to remove the post 'to ensure that antisemitic theories are not promoted in the classroom."

Kafka comes to CUNY - Democratic governor Kathy Hochul blocks a job ad for a professorship in Palestinian studies because it was hateful and antisemitic. This blog was modified and featured in the Chronicle of Higher Education, and is written by a Jewish scholar worried about academic freedom. Well, more than worried.

"Actually, the real hate crime is when you talk about the objectively verifiable violent settler colonialism and apartheid system of our genocidal client state in an academic setting..."
New York’s governor orders college to remove Palestinian studies job listing
"The job posting at Hunter College had called for a historian “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,” according to screenshots published by the New York Post, which first reported the job announcement.
Following the coverage, Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, ordered the City University of New York school to remove the posting “and conduct a thorough review of the position to ensure that antisemitic theories are not promoted in the classroom,” her office said in a statement.
The CUNY Board of Trustees agreed, and university officials have since removed the posting for a “Palestinian Studies Cluster Hire,” which was marked as expired on Friday.
“We find this language divisive, polarizing and inappropriate and strongly agree with Governor Hochul’s direction to remove this posting,” Chairperson William C. Thompson Jr. and Chancellor Félix V. Matos Rodríguez, adding they would work “to tackle antisemitism on our campuses and combat hate in all of its forms.”
On some (disgusting) level, you have to admire the brass balls on our pro-genocide U.S. establishment to keep pushing the idea that acknowledging Israel's crimes against humanity in Gaza and longstanding violence against Palestinians is "antisemitism" without the faintest hint of irony or anything resembling a reasonable argument. "It's antisemitism because we say so and words mean whatever power says they do" is an awfully familiar argument in fascist societies and under totalitarian states, but that doesn't make it true and pretending that it does to justify punishing and hindering folks who're opposing a genocide has a funny way of exposing that the emperor(s) have no clothes over time.
Please keep in mind that this is in New York, and Kathy Hochul, a Democratic governor, has decided to legitimize this Zionist fantasy argument by exercising her power over CUNY. In so much as this story is being reported, it is being presented as a sort of "mistake" whereby Hochul has been "trolled" via the New York Post into acting out a right wing agenda in the face of a moral panic. Personally, I think that's a load of hogwash and Hochul is simply a collaborator. We're talking about the same woman who spoke out in favor of mask bans to punish peaceful protestors, and sent fucking soldiers to police fare-jumpers in her subway system. Either Hochul is the dumbest person alive and completely incapable of learning from her many "mistakes," or getting in bed with fascists based on spurious nonsensical arguments is clearly something she's willing to do in order to please the reactionary winger rich people she really works for. For a very long time before this past election, I warned people that the *entire* US establishment would find a way to cooperate and collaborate with fascists if these nazis did get back in power because they prefer fascism to sharing and empowering the people; this is just another example of what I meant by that, unfolding in real time.

As a #CUNY alumna, I’d like to know who the hell leaned on #Hochul about a low-level academic job that ordinarily wouldn’t have come to her attention.
CUNY has historically been a haven for new Americans. Most CUNY students are either foreign-born or have parents who were; and the sizable percentage of #Muslim students, faculty and staff aren’t the only ones likely to object to whitewashing #Palestinian history.
This is a clear attack on academic freedom.
Snap resharing an applied #causal paper... with a #CUNY setting? By Athey? Just gonna shoehorn the time to read this in somewhere: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jeconom.2024.105945
