There are people who thought the deck was stacked [against them]. They hurt their own cause," said Jonathan Lippman, the widely respected, retired chief judge of the state Court of Appeals who oversaw the sweeping review of the City University of New York's handling of hate against Jewish people.
During the course of the review, we became aware that certain students, faculty, and organizations were advising people not to speak with us. I understand that some of those individuals were concerned that my team was trying to 'target' individuals who may have engaged in antisemitism or spoken out against Israel," he said in the report.
We wanted to hear from not only those who believed they were victims of antisemitism but also from those who believed they were victims of false claims of antisemitism as well as other forms of discrimination," Lippman said.
My review was in no way aimed at uncovering perpetrators of improper behavior at CUNY or assigning blame," Lippman said.
