The City University of New York (CUNY) has removed a job advertisement for a Palestinian studies professor following pressure from the state.

In the job listing, now marked as expired, CUNY’s Hunter College wrote that the institution was seeking “a historically grounded scholar who takes a critical lens to issues pertaining to Palestine including but not limited to: settler colonialism, genocide, human rights, apartheid, migration, climate and infrastructure devastation, health, race, gender, and sexuality.”
