While all eyes were on the violent raid on Columbia students on April 30, a more violent raid took place at CUNY, a public school with a history of activism. Disparities in police behavior reflect decades of bias, critics say. My piece for Documented: documentedny.com/2024/05/24/cam…

Brooklyn College faculty calling on Félix V. Matos Rodríguez to drop the charges against The City University of New York students arrested at the CCNY Gaza encampment. Thanks to Jumaane Williams for amplifying the message in his commencement address! #dropthecharges

So glad Jumaane Williams ended his speech at Brooklyn College’s commencement just now with a call to drop the charges. Most applause of the day so far. Félix V. Matos Rodríguez

Love this 🤔

Thanks ⁦Jumaane Williams⁩ for calling on ⁦Félix V. Matos Rodríguez⁩ to drop the charges on the students arrested at the Gaza encampment and asserting the importance of fighting for justice. #bcgrad2024

It’s the right thing to do. PERIOD.

We are supposed to be advocates for students… instead we are charging students with felonies.

Drop. The. Charges.

Please amplify: Faculty at ⁦Brooklyn College⁩ call on ⁦Félix V. Matos Rodríguez⁩ to drop the charges on students at the Gaza encampment. As charges are dropped on NYU and many Columbia students, 22 CUNY students still face felonies—shameful race-class bias.

Faculty at ⁦Brooklyn College⁩ call in ⁦Félix V. Matos Rodríguez⁩ to drop the charges on the students arrested at the Gaza encampment. Why are our students facing felonies while charges dropped for NYU and many Columbia students?

I'm furious that The City University of New York is paying $4 million for private security guards to harass students. Meanwhile buildings are crumbling, essential faculty and staff are getting laid off, and there's austerity everywhere

Hey The City University of New York who is this guy? Is he fired without pay yet? Or do you now employ people who say they support killing all of our students? Félix V. Matos Rodríguez we need answers.

This person should be immediately fired. What is Félix V. Matos Rodríguez doing about this?

'At City College, following a 15-minute occupation of an administrative building, 22 people arrested there still face burglary in the third degree charges, a class D felony, as well as obstructing governmental administration, among others' thecity.nyc/2024/05/22/nyp…

.Félix V. Matos Rodríguez The NYPD used the exact illegal, brutal techniques that the courts had ordered them to stop using. Charges for students at other universities have been rightfully dropped. Why are City College of NY students facing felony charges?!? #dropCUNYcharges

Bilal Hammoud and a handful of Arab American leaders met with Antony Blinken Friday. Blinken told them that if Palestine became a state, federal law would mandate the defunding of the UN, which could then defund the World Food Program, causing global starvation.

I am a CUNY Professor at CUNY School of Law and I demand that you call on the DA to drop all charges against CGSE protesters and refuse to participate in prosecution. Anything less would be shameful for our university. Félix V. Matos Rodríguez City College of NY #dropCUNYcharges

I'm a Distinguished Lecturer at The City University of New York and alum of The Graduate Center demanding that Félix V. Matos Rodríguez call on the DA to drop all charges against CGSE protesters and refuse to participate in prosecution. #dropCUNYcharges

.Félix V. Matos Rodríguez, 520+ faculty across the 25 colleges call on you to press the DA to drop charges against those arrested City College of NY on 4/30. Address the disparate, awful use of force the NYPD unleashed upon the CUNY students. #dropCUNYcharges bit.ly/cuny-drop-char…

CUNY students are charged with felonies, but not private school students. Even Columbia admin goes to bat for their students.
Félix V. Matos Rodríguez do the right thing. City College of NY
