First graduates of CUNY Law slam school’s descent into hotbed of hate after commencement speech

Some of CUNY Law school’s inaugural graduating class of 1986 have expressed their collective disgust and frustration that their alma mater has descended into a hotbed of hate in a letter sent Thursday to its dean and faculty.

“Our legacy has been disgraced and we are totally disgusted by a faculty and administration that have nurtured this toxic, intolerant, and antisemitic environment,” said the letter signed by 1986 alums Dan Elias, Jill Stone, Anna Rumberg, Ann Nowak, Karen Hochberg Tommer, Paul Goodman and Vincent Maher.

Elias, an attorney who drafted the letter, told The Post he was saddened that CUNY Law has deviated greatly from its mission. “They’re pushing a political agenda. I don’t know know how it prepares people for practicing law,” he said.

He was referring to the inflammatory May 12 commencement address by student Fatima Mousa Mohammed who alleged that “Israel continues to indiscriminately rain bullets and bombs on worshipers, murdering the old, the young, attacking even funerals and graveyards… our silence is no longer acceptable.”

This descent into hate didn't happen overnight. Why haven't these supposedly dismayed alums been paying attention and exerting influence these past 2 or 3 decades?
