Governor Kathy Hochul emphasized the need for colleges to create safer environments, urging them to implement robust plans to protect students and combat rising antisemitism.
State Assembly member Nily Rozic highlighted that for many Jewish students, anxiety and personal safety measures, like carrying pepper spray, have become part of the back-to-school reality.
Amidst recent campus turmoil, David Bloomfield criticized the administration for hasty actions like searching faculty cars, pointing to a lack of communication and community trust.
Hochul's administration remains concerned about reported incidents of antisemitism on campuses, spurring a federal investigation into CUNY's handling of discrimination complaints.
