"This is yet another example of hollow theatrics by extremist Republicans whose bad-faith, weaponized investigations do nothing to combat antisemitism and protect Jewish students or anyone else." -- @Sen_Gounardes #HandsOffHigherEd @AFTunion @NYSUT @AAUP @CUNYRising @UCAFT
“We reject any effort to intimidate universities into silence & fear, & we won’t let @CUNY — or any institution of higher ed — be used as a political stunt designed to divide our communities.” - @NYSUT President @MelindaJPerson #HandsOffHigherEd @AFTunion @AAUP @CUNYRising @UCAFT

“This hearing is another cynical attempt to use real anxiety about rising antisemitism to ambush university leaders, smear faculty, slash funding, & delegitimize institutions that are essential for a working democracy." PSC President Davis @AFT @NYSUT @AAUP @CUNYRising @UCAFT
