=== Antisemitism at CUNY === In recent years, there have been a number of antisemitic incidents on CUNY campuses, including: * In March 2014, Brooklyn College settled the Title VI complaint that the Zionist Organization of America ("ZOA") had filed against its antisemitic discrimination.<ref name="media.aclj.org">[http://media.aclj.org/pdf/1-ACLJ-City-University-of-New-York-Title-VI-Complaint-_Redacted.pdf Complaint] aclj.org</ref> * In 2017, a CUNY admin was recorded saying that there were too many Jews on campus.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://nypost.com/2017/02/27/cuny-admin-allegedly-said-there-were-too-many-jews-on-his-staff/ | title=CUNY admin allegedly said there were 'too many Jews' on his staff | date=February 27, 2017 }}</ref> * In 2020, a CUNY student was arrested for spray-painting antisemitic graffiti on a campus building. {{Citation needed|date=April 2024}} * In 2021, a survey found that nearly one in four CUNY students had experienced antisemitism on campus. The survey also found that Jewish students were more likely to report feeling unsafe on campus than students of other faiths.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/jewish-students-professors-allege-antisemitism-on-cuny-campuses/ | title=Jewish students, professors allege antisemitism on CUNY campuses - CBS New York | website=[[CBS News]] | date=July 21, 2022 }}</ref> * In May 2021, a student at John Jay posted a picture of Adolf Hitler on Instagram with a message saying "We need another Hitler today." A group of Jewish students met with Karol Mason, the President of the college, who refused to condemn the action publicly.<ref name="media.aclj.org" /> * The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission cited CUNY in 2021 for failing to protect a Jewish professor after the PSC discriminated against him and subjected him to a hostile work environment on the basis of his Jewish faith.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.algemeiner.com/2021/11/19/jewish-cuny-professor-found-discriminated-against-after-faculty-group-intentionally-held-meetings-on-shabbat/|title=Jewish CUNY Professor Found Discriminated Against After Faculty Group Intentionally Held Meetings on Shabbat - Algemeiner.com|first=The|last=Algemeiner|date=November 19, 2021|website=www.algemeiner.com|accessdate=February 25, 2024}}</ref> CUNY has taken steps to address antisemitism on its campuses. In 2020, the university created a task force to combat antisemitism. The task force has developed a number of initiatives, including training for faculty and staff on how to identify and address antisemitism.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www1.cuny.edu/mu/forum/2023/06/26/cuny-fights-hatred-with-programming-funded-by-campus-climate-support-grants/ | title=CUNY Fights Hatred with Programming Funded by Campus Climate Support Grants }}</ref> In June 2024, the United States Department of Education concluded that CUNY has failed to protect Jewish students from discrimination following the [[2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel|October 7 attacks]]. CUNY's Hunter College also faced scrutiny for incidents dating back to 2021. In response, Chancellor Félix V. Matos Rodríguez stated that CUNY is dedicated to maintaining a discrimination-free and hate-free environment, and that new measures will ensure consistent and transparent investigation and resolution of complaints.<ref name=":1">{{Cite news |last=Hajdenberg |first=Jackie |date=2024-06-18 |title=U of Michigan, CUNY agree to make changes following federal antisemitism investigations |url=https://www.timesofisrael.com/u-of-michigan-cuny-agree-to-make-changes-following-federal-antisemitism-investigations/ |work=Times of Israel}}</ref>
