Letitia James Takes Back Threats to CUNY
NYC Councilwoman Letitia James, who is seeking to become the next Public Advocate, declared today on Twitter that she would remove her name from Lewis Fidler's letter, which threatens to cut off funding to CUNY if Brooklyn College allows a BDS event to proceed with the co-sponsorship of poli sci.
@peterrothberg I hear your concern. While I have serious concerns about this event, I don't think it would be appropriate for the Council...- @peterrothberg to use CUNY budget to influence what issues are discussed on campus & what groups are invited. I will remove myself from ltr.
- Hi @HuffPostNY! I addressed BC ltr earlier today- I removed my name. Welcome to call my office at 212-788-7081 to discuss my actual opinion.
