Re: Does this surprise you at all with the actions of the university professors? Reminds me of the Duke 88

On May 2, 2011, the Board of Trustees of the City University of New
York (CUNY), at their monthly public meeting, voted to remove
Kushner's name from the list of people invited to receive honorary
degrees, based on a statement by trustee Jeffrey S. Wiesenfeld about
Kushner's purported statements and beliefs about Zionism and Israel.
In response, the CUNY Graduate Center Advocate began a live blog on
the "Kushner Crisis" situation, including news coverage and statements
of support from faculty and academics.Three days later, CUNY issued a
public statement that the Board is independent. On May 6, three
previous honorees stated they intended to return their degrees:
Barbara Ehrenreich, Michael Cunningham and Ellen Schrecker. Wiesenfeld
has said that if Kushner would renounce his anti-Israel statements in
front of the board of trustees, he would be willing to vote for him.
