CUNY plans to modify 'Palestinian Studies' job posting after New York Gov. Hochul ordered it be taken down

"Hunter College took down the job listings following the concerns raised about the language used in the online posting," the college told Fox News Digital when reached for comment. "We will be reviewing the posting process and look forward to adding scholars with expertise in this subject matter to our distinguished faculty."

The posting went on to explain that the faculty member's duties would have involved "research, teaching and service to the department and college."

"Governor Hochul has directed CUNY to immediately remove this job posting and conduct a thorough review of the position to ensure that antisemitic theories are not promoted in the classroom," a spokesperson for the governor told The New York Post. "The governor has continued to strongly condemn all forms of antisemitism and has made clear that hateful rhetoric of any kind has no place at CUNY or anywhere in New York State."

"CUNY will continue working with the Governor and other stakeholders to tackle antisemitism on our campuses and combat hate in all of its forms," they added.

"They're the most classic [antisemitic] tropes of the modern time and developing a curriculum like that is abhorrent and should never have gone through," he said. 

Anti-Israel protests have continually erupted at U.S. colleges with demonstrators shouting their demands for a ceasefire and voicing their vehement opposition to Israel.
