NYC Jewish leaders demand action from CUNY after protest targeting Hillel rep at interfaith event

Jewish leaders in New York have called on the City University of New York to take decisive action following a protest at a campus interfaith event, where a Muslim leader led a walkout targeting a Jewish representative. The incident, which occurred at City College of New York, has been described as discriminatory and has prompted concerns about the safety and inclusion of Jewish students within the university system. In a letter to the university chancellor, prominent Jewish community figures and elected officials criticized the university's response, arguing that it sends a message of exclusion to Jewish and Zionist students. The letter urges the university to amend its student code of conduct and implement a system-wide policy to protect Jewish students, though the decentralized nature of the university's campuses may pose challenges to such reforms.
