CUNY School of Law was very poorly rated (at the bottom) when I took the LSAT and never considered it. I heard CUNY was making efforts to improve its reputation. Recent events make me wonder whether the CUNY School of Law should even be accredited, especially if the law school administration is acting as an advocate and supporting targeted political speech that at least borders on hate speech and bigotry. I'm completely flabbergasted at just some of what I found, which would likely repel students based on their race, religion, sexual preference and more.
On May 13, 2022, the law school day student commencement was given by a Nerdeen Kiswani, who immediately launched into anti-Israel rant, which I couldn't imagine any legitimate law school permitting. That months earlier their CUNY law school student body passed an academic boycott of Israel and the administration had Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor speak too, they might as well have just held a pro-Palestinian anti-Israel rally right at the law school.
Ms. Kiswani speaks of "Zionist harassment" and then into the student body "fighting for justice Black, LatinX, indigenous, Palestinian liberation and for the freedom of all people living under colonial domination, imperialism and White supremacist structures around the world and here in the U.S." The law school administration must have known exactly what was coming , especially from someone who believes she's above the law, with their slogan being to accomplish their goals "by any means necessary."
I'm looking at CUNY's Twitter feed now. "We join the grassroots the movement to remove barriers designed to exclude those who do not reaffirm the white carceral status quo. " To me, this has leapt far beyond the boundaries of decency and the safe space educators promise to provide in any school. And is the CUNY School of Law now officially blaming "white" people for problems with our prison system?
