Paul F. Occhiogrosso, Executive Counsel to the President, wrote Palestine Legal on Friday stating that the event would be allowed to proceed as planned. In a separate email, a Student Affairs administrator apologized to SJP on behalf of the Vice President.
“We’re glad CCNY recognized it can’t discriminate against viewpoints it considers controversial,” said Radhika Sainath, Senior Staff Attorney with Palestine Legal. “We’ll continue to monitor the situation to make sure that students organizing for Palestinian rights aren’t treated differently from other groups.”
