To the editor:

The venomous antisemitism and hatred of America exhibited by Fatima Mousa Mohammed during her commencement address at CUNY's School of Law wasn't as disgraceful as the applause she received from her fellow graduates, which itself wasn't as disgraceful as the approval shown by the faculty and administration.

My wife and I will always be grateful for the quality education we received at CUNY. For decades, as alumni, we felt an obligation to support CUNY financially. Unfortunately, a few years ago, it became clear that it was no longer the same City University, both academically and in no longer being a welcoming institution for Jews. At that point, we realized we could no longer, in good conscience, continue our support.

Even then we never imagined any part of our alma mater would become as infused with Jew-hatred as its School of Law is today. In its present form, the School of Law indeed deserves to be a target and should either be completely revamped or shut down.

Sincerely,
