Governor Kathy Hochul sends a letter to colleges about antisemitism and New
York's Human Rights Law on college campuses

NEW YORK, NY (WENY) -- Governor Kathy Hochul released a statement to the
presidents of colleges and universities across New York State saying the calls
for genocide made on college campuses are a violation of the New York State
Human Rights Law.



The letter was sent by Hochul days after a Congressional hearing on Antisemitism
when presidents from the University of Pennsylvania, Harvard, and MIT failed to
"clearly and unequivocally denounce antisemitism and calls for genocide on
college campuses," says New York State Governor Kathy Hochul.



On Saturday, December 9th, the University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magail
resigned after the Tuesday, December 6th hearing that sparked controversy around
her responses. Harvard President Claudine Gay apologized for her comments during
the congressional testimony after Magail left UPenn.



The full letter from Governor Kathy Hochul can be found below:



To: New York State College and University Presidents




This week, like many Americans, I was shocked to see the presidents of several
prominent universities – current leaders that are responsible for educating
young minds who will grow into the leaders of tomorrow – fail to clearly and
unequivocally denounce antisemitism and calls for genocide of the Jewish people
on their college campuses.



I contacted SUNY Chancellor John King to ensure that it is SUNYs policy that
calling for the genocide of any group of people on one of SUNY's 62 campuses
would be considered a violation of the SUNY code of conduct, and would lead to
swift disciplinary action. Chancellor King affirmed that was the case, and that
SUNY will not tolerate antisemitism or hatred of any kind. CUNY Chancellor Felix
Matos Rodriguez has confirmed the same to be true for CUNY schools.



In addition, failure to address such activity would constitute a violation of
New York State Human Rights Law as well as Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of
1964. Under Title VI, any recipient of federal funds is responsible for keeping
students free from a hostile environment based upon their ethnicity or national
origin - a standard that that has been applied to antisemitism.



I write to you to ensure that your institution applies the same standard in its
code of conduct, and has a clearly defined and well publicized mechanism for
individuals to report complaints. As Governor of New York I want to reinforce
that colleges and universities not in compliance with federal and state laws
protecting students against discrimination can be deemed ineligible to receive
state and federal funds.



I assure you that if any school in New York State is found to be in violation, I
will activate the State's Division of Human Rights to take aggressive
enforcement action and will refer possible Title VI violations to the federal
government.




The moral lapses that were evidenced by the disgraceful answers to questions
posed during this week’s congressional hearing cannot and will not be tolerated
here in the state of New York.



I remain grateful for the work you do educating and protecting our students and
your partnership in keeping hate and intimidation out of our campuses.



Sincerely,



Governor Kathy Hochul



Hochul assured that she will continue to protect people against hate and bias
crimes. The governor says in her letter any violation of Title VI of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964 will be passed on to federal officials.
