CUNY community college professors claim the university is investigating them as retaliation for requesting events programming with a Zionist lens.

A pair of pro-Israel Borough of Manhattan Community College professors are under investigation by the school — for daring to publicly criticize its pro-Palestinian programming.

BMCC, which is part of the City University of New York system, apologized for the display, but last month, its Office of Compliance and Diversity told the professors they were being investigated for speaking to the press over the school’s March events. An exhibit at BMCC ripped Israel for “settler colonialism, military occupation, land theft, and ethnic cleansing.”The school said its probe stemmed from complaints by Nadia Saleh, the Social Justice and Equity Centers’ then-multicultural center program coordinator, according to letters sent to the professors, copies of which were obtained by The Post.

Saleh said she was additionally harassed by Goldstein over his sharing those articles on social media.
