Palestinian studies, and antisemitic theories

Gov. Kathy Hochul ordered City University of New York school Hunter College to remove a faculty job listing recruiting professors to teach Palestinian studies, and to “conduct a thorough review of the position to ensure that antisemitic theories are not promoted in the classroom.” CUNY has now re-posed the listings — but no longer including language calling for scholars concerned with “settler colonialism, genocide and apartheid.”
