Jeffrey Lax says CUNY has long fostered anti-Semitism on campus Getty Images Alex Nester • June 28, 2021 6:00 pm SHARE A Jewish professor in the City University of New York (CUNY) system resigned from a teachers union affiliated with the American Federation of Teachers after it passed a resolution condemning Israel and backing the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement. Jeffrey Lax, professor and chair of Kingsborough Community College s business department, resigned from the Professional Staff Congress on June 17. A week earlier, the union passed a Resolution in Support of the Palestinian People. The statement, which made no mention of Hamas s attacks, called Israel a diverse nation state guilty of committing apartheid. Lax says the statement is contradictory.
