CUNY's Anti-Semitism Problem and the Campaign to Fire Michael Goldstein
(Tablet) Armin Rosen - For the past 10 months, Michael Goldstein, an administrator and adjunct professor in the business department of Kingsborough Community College, part of the City University of New York (CUNY) system, has been the target of a sustained campaign calling for his termination. While some of the content on Goldstein's Facebook page could be considered off-color or insensitive, it is debatable whether 10 months of anti-Goldstein flyers, vandalism, and tire-nailings would be a proportionate, constructive, or justifiable response - let alone whether it is a legal predicate for firing an employee at a public educational institution, absent even a single credible complaint from students or colleagues or a violation of the school's nondiscrimination policies.
