"I feel compelled to note that recently there has been an alarming number of unacceptable antisemitic incidents targeting members of the CUNY community," widely respected retired State Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman said in a letter to Hochul accompanying Tuesday's release of the stinging findings after a 10-month review. "So many people do not feel safe on campuses and that's at the heart of the problem."
"Some faculty stir the pot," Lippman told The Post. He said professors have free-speech rights but emphasized in the report that they can do more to promote dialogue "rather than inflame conflict, which we often found to be the case."
The report found some of CUNY's college presidents were "hesitant" to employ uniformed officers to handle potentially violent protests and protect students "because they believed doing so would likely result in bad publicity. "That is unacceptable," Lippman said.
