Hunter was the site this year of an antisemitic demonstration -- part of the countrywide Million Student March -- heavily promoted by Students for Justice in Palestine. Though the march was supposedly about lowering tuition or waiving it altogether, at the event in question, protesters waved Palestinian flags and chanted: “Palestine will be free, from the river to the sea," “There Is Only One Solution: Intifada, Revolution,” and “Zionists Out of CUNY.” There were also reportedly shouts of "Jews out of CUNY" and "Death to Jews." A CUNY inquiry into campus antisemitism included an examination of this incident, but investigators concluded they could not confirm that it was specifically CUNY students involved.
