As CUNY faculty and staff, we serve students from diverse backgrounds, students who come from groups that have been demonized by President-elect Donald Trump and his supporters. At a time of heightened hate crimes, we must stand up against all forms of bigotry and hatred and ensure that CUNY – and the broader public sphere – is a space for critical thinking and free of the hate that has plagued the presidential campaign. Show that you stand with CUNY students now and in the years to come by signing this open letter to students.
