NEW YORK GOVERNOR SAYS CALLS FOR GENOCIDE ARE VIOLATION OF STATE LAW

UNIVERSITIES "FAIL TO CLEARLY... DENOUNCE ANTISEMITISM."

Kathy Hochul, the Governor of the State of New York, posted a letter to X on
Saturday night stating that “calling for the genocide of any group of people” on
the campus of a New York State public college or university “would constitute a
violation of New York State Human Rights Law and the Civil Rights Act of 1964."



She said that it was affirmed to her by the chancellor of the State University
of New York that such calls would be considered a violation of SUNY's code of
conduct and that the chancellor of New York City’s public college and university
system confirmed the same policy to be true for those schools as well.



“In addition,” Hochul wrote, “failure to address such activity would constitute
a violation of New York State Human Rights Law as well as Title VI of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964,” which holds recipients of federal funds, in Hochul’s words,
“responsible for keeping students free from a hostile environment based upon
their ethnicity or national origin—a standard that has been applied to
antisemitism.”

The letter came amid outrage over the testimony of three college
presidents—Claudine Gay of Harvard, Sally Kornbluth of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (MIT), and Liz Magill of the University of
Pennsylvania—at a congressional hearing last week on the subject of campus
antisemitism. 



At the hearing, the three presidents were asked whether calling for the genocide
of Jews would constitute a violation of their schools’ bullying and harassment
policies, and each of them said that, while a call for genocide is wrong, it
would not necessarily violate the policies in question.

and Confronting Antisemitism,’ takes place this past week. (credit: KEN

HOCHUL: ANSWERS AT THE HEARING WERE DISGRACEFUL

“I was shocked,” Hochul said in her letter, “to see the presidents of several
prominent universities… fail to clearly and unequivocally denounce antisemitism
and calls for genocide of the Jewish people on their college campuses.” The
governor said that the “moral lapses that were evidenced by the disgraceful
answers” given by those university presidents “cannot and will not be tolerated
here in the State of New York.”

The United States has seen a surge of antisemitism following Hamas’s October 7
attack on Israel and the subsequent war between the Jewish state and Hamas in
Gaza. This surge has exacerbated the existing antisemitism issue on American
college campuses. 



Governor Hochul, a Democrat, visited Israel shortly after the attack on a
solidarity visit.
