Dear CUNY students,
You’ve chosen to attend one of the most diverse and inclusive institutions in the country. Yet, how would you feel if you discovered that the very professors who are educating you are inadvertently funding hate, bigotry, and oppression through their union dues?
The Disturbing Facts
A series of articles from reputable sources have exposed concerning incidents at CUNY, raising serious questions about the environment on campus.
– Marc Lamont Hill, a professor noted for his anti-Israel stance, has been hired by CUNY
– CUNY’s Chancellor condemned an anti-Israel law school graduation speech
– Professor Jeff Lax has pointed out CUNY’s systemic anti-Jewish agenda
The Union Connection
What connects these troubling events is the influence of the union representing your professors. Your educators pay dues to this union, which in turn shapes the environment at CUNY, whether intentionally or not. By refusing to openly question these dubious hires and policies, the union is, in effect, providing tacit support for an agenda that sows division, hate, and oppression.
The Real Victims
Jewish professors and students are the most immediate victims of this toxic atmosphere. Allegations of systemic anti-Semitism have reached a fever pitch, creating a hostile environment that is far from conducive to free intellectual inquiry or mutual respect.
What Can You Do?
It’s time to stir the pot. Ask your professors why they continue to support a union that indirectly funds hate and bigotry. Push for answers. Write letters to the editor in The Campus and The Paper. Talk to your local media to shed light on this disturbing issue.
Your actions can lead to real change. It is time for faculty to reconsider their union memberships and think about where their money is going. For those who want to know more about opting out, you can visit UnionAccountability.com or call 833-228-4969.
Spark a Conversation
Remember, ignorance is never bliss when it comes to matters of social justice. Start the conversation today and question where the money from union dues is really going. By doing so, you’re taking the first step to rectify an alarming issue that has festered for too long at CUNY.
Don’t let this conversation end here. Share this information widely and help us build an inclusive, respectful environment that lives up to the ideals CUNY claims to hold.
A Final Note on Union Membership
It’s important to clarify that this is not an anti-union initiative. Unions have their place and value in advocating for workers’ rights. If the PSC-CUNY union changes its stance and stops supporting divisive causes, professors always have the option to rejoin and continue supporting a more inclusive agenda.
**Spread the word, make a change.**
