Despite string of pro-Palestinian statements, CUNY faculty union rejects Israel boycott |
2024-06-01 |
[IsraelTimes] Union president actively opposed resolution, which sought to ‘ban all academic trips to the Zionist state,’ cancel all cooperation with Israeli academia Three years after voting to "consider" boycotting Israel, and weeks after defending a pro-Paleostinian, anti-Israel student encampment, the faculty union of the City University of New York overwhelmingly rejected a resolution calling for an Israel boycott. The union’s president actively opposed the resolution, saying that it inappropriately singled out Israel. But insiders say the Professional Staff Congress’s rejection may have had more to do with the union’s salary negotiations than any principled view about the Israel-Hamas ![]() war, which has roiled the CUNY system. |
