Gov. Kathy Hochul demands CUNY take down 'Palestinian Studies' job posting over antisemitism concerns
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul put a wrench in a City University of New York (CUNY) constituent college’s plans to fill a “Palestinian Studies” professorship posting that would have allegedly peddled antisemitic and anti-Israel discourse with topics like “apartheid,” “settler colonialism,” “genocide” and more.
“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.”

The outlet reported that the posting for the university’s constituent, Hunter College, has since been removed, but a screenshot detailing the position remains.
“We seek a historically grounded scholar who takes a critical lens to issues pertaining to Palestine including but not limited to: settler colonialism, genocide, human rights, apartheid, migration, climate and infrastructure devastation, health, race, gender, and sexuality,” a part of the listing read.
The posting went on to explain that the faculty member’s duties would have involved “research, teaching and service to the department and college.”

Fox News Digital reached out to Gov. Hochul’s office and CUNY for comment, but has yet to receive a response.
CUNY’s Chancellor Felix Matos and Board of Trustees Chairperson William Thompson told The Post in a joint statement, however, that they “strongly agree” with Hochul’s decision, noting that they “find this [posting’s] language divisive, polarizing and inappropriate.”
“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.
HARVARD SETTLES TWO LAWSUITS DEALING WITH ALLEGATIONS OF ANTISEMITISM
Antisemitism concerns have dominated the education space since Hamas terrorists launched a devastating surprise attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 civilians and propelling the region into a lengthy war.
Pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel protests have continually erupted at U.S. colleges in the subsequent months, with instigators shouting their demands for a ceasefire and their vehement opposition to Israel.

Bodycam footage shows moments police respond to Pawtucket shooting
Police bodycam footage shows the moments officers arrived to the scene of a deadly mass shooting in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.
The shooting on Feb. 16 at the Dennis M. Lynch Arena killed Rhonda Dorgan and Aidan Dorgan, the ex-wife and son of the shooter, who died by suicide.
If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline or chat live at 988lifeline.org. You can also visit SpeakingOfSuicide.com/resources for additional support.
Gerald Dorgan, Rhonda’s father, died from his injuries this week. His wife, Linda Dorgan, and family friend Thomas Geruso remain hospitalized.
Around five minutes after the first officer arrives, he beings helping paramedics with a man who identifies himself as Aidan. Twelve minutes in, Aidan Dorgan is transported to the hospital, where he would later die from his injuries.
If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline by calling 1-800-799-SAFE (7233), visiting www.thehotline.org or texting LOVEIS to 22522.
For the last 10 minutes of the footage, the officer then begins helping paramedics transport the other three gunshot victims.
The video ends with police prepping witness interviews.
The shooting rocked the Pawtucket community. Chris Librizzi, head coach of the Blackstone Valley Schools hockey team impacted by the shooting, said the players and coaching staff “are devastated over the events that took place at Lynch Arena on Monday and intimately affected one of our teammates.”
As authorities continue investigating the shooting in Pawtucket, three patients remain in critical condition.
“We will lean on each other and support one another, as we have always done as a team,” he added.
Pawtucket police said two handguns were found at the scene after the shooting, a Sig Sauer P226 and Glock. Other weapons have been seized at the suspect’s storage unit in Maine.
Investigators continue reviewing all video evidence from before, during and after the shooting, including surveillance footage from the Dennis M. Lynch Arena, police body-worn camera footage and other records — a high school sports livestream captured the shooting from a distance — police said.

Alleged New Hampshire country club shooter said he was targeting wealthy ‘elites’: report
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The New Hampshire man accused of opening fire inside a country club last year, killing one person, reportedly confessed to the shooting, telling investigators he aimed to kill the rich.
Hunter West Nadeau, 24, told police he carried out the shooting at a steakhouse located at the Sky Meadow Club in Nashua in an effort to retaliate against the rich because “they were not helping the poor,” according to a police affidavit obtained by The Boston Globe.
The affidavit reportedly pointed to surveillance video showing Nadeau entering the club’s main entrance around 7:17 p.m. Sept. 20, wearing a black hoodie and carrying a green backpack.
Nadeau then allegedly walked to Prime steakhouse, put on a face mask and brandished a gun, firing five shots at employee Steve Burtman, according to the affidavit.

Burtman, who was reportedly stationed at the front desk, was struck in the face, the outlet reported. He survived his injuries.
Surveillance footage then reportedly shows Nadeau entering the restaurant and firing five more shots toward numerous patrons.
Nadeau allegedly struck and killed 59-year-old Robert Steven DeCesare, who was dining with his wife and daughter. A third patron was also injured as he allegedly fired multiple shots toward a group of individuals.

Nadeau then “continued to shoot until he was attacked by other patrons in the restaurant, and he retreated back through the doors of the steakhouse,” the affidavit said.
A witness previously told The Associated Press Nadeau allegedly yelled “Free Palestine” as the chaos was unfolding.
Police subsequently located Nadeau on the club’s golf course, where he “was bleeding from apparent self-inflicted incised wounds to [his] arms and wrists, and made statements to the effect that he was a ‘bad guy,’” according to the filing.
He then reportedly took responsibility for the shooting, telling officers about his negative feelings toward the affluent.

Speaking to authorities from his hospital bed, Nadeau told investigators “he was tired of the ‘elites’ taking all the money,” according to the outlet.
Nadeau also reportedly told investigators he chose Sky Meadow because he had previously worked there and knew members were affluent.
“He said that he settled on Sky Meadow as a location because he worked there about a year ago as a server and knew that you had to have money to have a membership there,” police said, according to the Globe.

“He was not targeting a specific person but did not care whether he killed someone or not,” police reportedly added.
Additionally, Nadeau explained why he targeted a wedding being held at the venue at the time of the shooting, telling police “he did not want to target ‘civilians,’” according to the outlet.
At the time, the shooting came less than one year after Luigi Mangione allegedly opened fire on UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in an apparent assassination in midtown Manhattan. Investigators have pointed to similar ideological motives behind Mangione’s alleged crimes.

In January, prosecutors filed multiple charges against Nadeau, including first-degree murder and reckless second-degree murder, according to the New Hampshire Department of Justice.
He is being held without bail as he awaits trial.
Fox News Digital was unable to locate an attorney representing Nadeau.
