Brooklyn College students and pro-Palestine protesters attempted to form a tent protest encampment on campus to demonstrate against the ongoing U.S. funded genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

In response, NYPD swarmed the campus to shut down the encampment, arresting protesters as well as university professors. NYPD became violent, using tasers on protesters as well as punching them.

Students Need to Be Aware of a Never Ending Scourge: Phishing – Article by Tony Ayala

by  • 

Phishing, a pox ever there was one. Hunter’s Internet Computer Instructional Information (ICIT) early in the semester that has recently ended, notified the campus of the digital menace: “We are currently witnessing an uptick in the number of phishing incidents asking staff and students to validate accounts, and share personal information. We hope that all staff and students will review this information and the awareness courses recommended in last weeks emails.”

Stay alert,” according to the warning, “for unexpected messages requesting personal information. Refrain from sharing personal or sensitive information like bank account numbers, social security numbers, or student IDs, with unfamiliar sources.” – Article by Tony Ayala.

The First Day of Classes 2024 Fall Semester at Hunter College/CUNY: Bada Bing, Bada Boom -  Part 1

by  • 

The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) came under fire this month after it declared academic boycotts to be “legitimate tactical responses” and “not in themselves violations of academic freedom,” which was a reversal of its previous and longstanding position on the issue. Many have condemned this decision as a threat to academic freedom and a furtherance of the harmful politicization in higher education.
Some AFA members have written and spoken out in response, including Joshua Katz, who wrote in City Journal that the decision adds “fuel to the fire” of ongoing campus tumult, and Cary Nelson, a past president of the AAUP, who wrote in The Chronicle of Higher Education that it is an abandonment of academic freedom that violates the AAUP’s own stated values.
Linked here is a petition related to the AAUP’s new position that many of our members have shared with us and several have already signed. We are sharing it with you in case you are interested in adding your name
