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.

The Adirondack Almanack · Legislators gear up for budget talks -Water funding headlines some state budget talks Legislators are ramping up budget priorities for the 2025-2026 fiscal year and on the top of the list for some is clean water funding. If you’ll recall, during early budget negotiations Gov. Kathy Hochul proposed a $250 million cut to the Clean Water Infrastructure Act. Legislators were not happy. The executive branch attempted to assuage concerns by pointing to other funding sources for such projects. But a report showing about $80 billion is needed to fix water and wastewater systems statewide did not make local lawmakers look fondly on the cut. Ultimately the funding made it back into the state budget for a total of $500 » Continue Reading.
