A Brooklyn councilwoman is taking the city’s public college system to task for assigning a former employee of an anti-Israel BDS group to investigate a high-profile incident of antisemitism flagged by a Jewish college professor.

“@CUNY assigning a former @CAIRNational rep to investigate allegations of Antisemitism, is like asking a sexual abuser to investigate the sexual harassment/rape allegations of a victim of such abuse,” tweeted Republican Councilwoman Inna Vernikov, a Ukrainian-born American Jew on Thursday.

“Would @CUNY hire David Duke to investigate claims of racism? #endjewhatred,” she added.

Vernikov and SAFE CUNY – a group of students and faculty fighting against antisemitism on CUNY campuses – were referring to a report in the Daily Caller detailing CUNY’s assignment of chief diversity officer Saly Abd Alla, a former employee of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, to an ongoing discrimination case tied to CUNY’s Kingsborough Community College professor Jeffrey Lax.

CAIR is a known proponent of the pro-Palestine, BDS movement – Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement – against the Jewish state.

Lax filed a complaint after learning that left-leaning faculty members at CUNY’s Kingsborough Community College, in Manhattan Beach, were allegedly plotting to exclude the more conservative, orthodox Jewish Lax from appearing at a March 2018 meeting by deliberately scheduling it on a Friday night – the start of the Sabbath – so he couldn’t attend. 

The meeting ended up not taking place after complaints surfaced that it was held on the Jewish day of rest. 

Reports of “skyrocketing” anti-Jewish incidents and even a recently filed complaint to the US Department of Education alleges that CUNY has become a “hostile environment” for Jewish students. 

Although CUNY has condemned the troubling incidents, the issue came to a head last month, when CUNY Chancellor Felix Matos Rodriguez failed to attend a City Council hearing on allegations of antisemetic harassment on campuses.

Vernikov told The Post Alla’s assignment is the last straw.

She said she’s been trying to get Mayor Eric Adams on the case and to condemn repeated reports of antisemitism on CUNY campuses – but accused him of delaying taking action.

“I’ve been speaking to the mayor’s office about antisemitism at CUNY for over two months now. I’ve requested a statement and a meeting with the Mayor to discuss this very important topic that impacts thousands of Jewish New Yorkers. A new semester has begun but I’ve been given the runaround,” said Vernikov.

“The delay on the part of the mayor’s office to address the issue of pervasive Antisemitism on campuses, where students are afraid to be openly Jewish or freely express their pro-Israel viewpoints, is puzzling and quiet frankly frustrating. I know the Mayor cares about the Jewish community, but a statement acknowledging and condemning Antisemitism at City University of New York is not complicated. I am hopeful that the Mayor comes to the table very soon,” she said. 

Alla did not respond to an email seeking comment. CUNY responded on her beha;lf, with spokesman Joseph Tirella saying: “CUNY is committed to cultivating a diverse and inclusive community, free from antisemitism and all forms of hate, and safe for all individuals. All CUNY chief diversity officers are professionals and trained to ensure the University and its campuses comply with workplace rules and carry out when needed fair and impartial investigations of workplace discrimination.”

An Adams spokeswoman told The Post in response: “Mayor Adams has been unabashed and unapologetic in condemning antisemitism and fighting against hate across our communities. Hate has no place in our city and in our state.”

The rep said the Adams administration is “actively working” with CUNY to come up with solutions that will hopefully make Jewish students feel safer. 

“New York City is a diverse landscape of many different cultures, languages and nationalities that make this city the greatest in the world. As we work to combat a spike in hate crimes, especially antisemitic ones, it is important to support and uplift all New Yorkers to ensure no one is targeted for hatred,” said the Adams spokeswoman.
