Hochul calls for prosecutions following threats towards Cornell Jewish community
Hundreds of Columbia professors sign new letter saying they’re ‘appalled’ about campus antisemitismTwo Ivy League schools struggling to deal with antisemitism are getting at least $200 million from New York taxpayers — leading some to demand the gravy train end if the universities don’t address the burgeoning on-campus crisis.
That’s angered some activists and politicians, who say the schools aren’t doing enough to fight antisemitism in the wake of Hamas’ savage assault on Israel earlier this month. In total, the school will get about $200 million in state money this year, the Post’s analysis showed. The schools — and others like them — also benefit because their New York students get state-subsidized tuition assistance grants, totaling about $700 million a year.
“Funding definitely should get pulled from the public and private colleges – unless they overhaul how Jewish students are treated on campus,” Lax told The Post. “What happened at Cornell is just not to be believed … Jews can’t live that way.”A suspect who may have penned the Cornell death threats is being grilled by NY State Troopers, according to Gov. Kathy Hochul.On Monday, Mayor Eric Adams said the city has to “operate within the law” — no matter how badly it wants to do otherwise.
