14:39Now PlayingIn a bold move, New York Governor Kathy Hochul forced CUNY to remove a job posting for a Palestinian Studies professor at Hunter College, citing concerns over "anti-Semitic" content. But was this really about preventing hate, or is this an attack on academic freedom and Palestine studies? Marc Lamont Hill breaks down the controversy in this excerpt from the latest *NIGHT SCHOOL* episode.
This situation raises critical questions about who gets to control academic hiring and what kind of research is allowed to flourish. The posting, which called for a scholar to critically examine Palestine through topics like settler colonialism, apartheid, and human rights, was pulled before candidates were even considered. Why are discussions on Palestine treated as divisive? Why is it now dangerous to study this region's history?
Hill discusses the implications of this decision on free speech and academic independence, urging resistance against efforts to silence Palestine studies.
