Queens College ‘cleans house’ of Jewish accounting professors after ‘antisemitic hate’ erupts on campus: lawsuit

The New York Post reports:

Queens College purged its accounting department of Jewish adjunct professors after “antisemitic hate speech and violence” erupted on campus following the Hamas terror attack on Israel, according to a lawsuit.

Adjunct accounting professor Helen Schwalb says the City University of New York school declined to reappoint her in May 2023 — along with five Jewish colleagues — as part of an effort to “clean house of its Jewish staff,” she claimed in court papers.

The school “kept younger, non-Jewish educators with lower performance ratings,” Schwalb, 66, contended.

Hopefully this will become a federal civil rights lawsuit.
