[AUDIO IN EXTENDED ARTICLE]

Following the Anti-semitism allegations made by Dov Hikind and Professor Hershey Friedman against the Brooklyn College administration, YWN’s Jake Stern interviewed both sides of the “antisemitism debate”.

First, Professor Hershey Friedman joins Jake to discuss allegations against a “pervasive pattern of antisemitism” by Brooklyn College Provost William Tramantano. He details a series of offensive comments, as well as repeated rejections of frum professors who applied for positions in the college.

Then Jake speaks with Brooklyn College Communications Director Jeremy Thompson, who defends the College and the Provost. He goes through the alleged incidents of antisemitism and explains how the judgments against the frum professors were in fact based on merit.
