CUNY Law School BDS Vote Alarms Jewish Students

The climate for Jewish students has become so hostile at the City University of New York (CUNY) that many fear admitting they are Jewish. “In a university with thousands of Jewish alumni and where Jews were allowed and welcomed for generations, we want our students to feel wonderful, not negative,” Ilya Bratman, the executive director of Hillel at Baruch College in Manhattan told The Jewish Link. “Students are afraid to admit they are Jewish and we just can’t have that.” The latest incident contributing to the wave of hostility is a statement from the CUNY School of Law’s Student Government Association, which passed a resolution endorsing the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel and targeting Hillel, among other campus groups.
