The embattled City University of New York is facing another backlash as being hostile to Israel and condoning antisemitism for hiring controversial professor Marc Lamont Hill.
Hill was appointed a “presidential professor” for Urban Education at CUNY’s Graduate Center.
“It’s something I’ve always dreamed of,” Hill, 44, told the Philadelphia Inquirer of his jump from his alma mater of Temple University to CUNY and teaching graduate studies.
In 2018, Hill was fired from CNN after his speech on Israel drew outrage from the Anti-Defamation League and other groups.
Hill, a media professor and network pundit, called for countries to boycott and divest from Israel in a speech given for the U.N.’s International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.
