City university officials are investigating why four Jewish students were ejected from a controversial anti-Israel forum sponsored by Brooklyn College.
Campus police booted graduate student Ari Ziegler, 23, and three classmates from the event last Thursday, which showcased the founder of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.
Ziegler, his brother, Michael, and friends Melanie Goldberg and Yvonne Juris were escorted out after they took out pro-Israel handouts, they say.
“If this were true, it was wrong and we need to understand exactly what the circumstances were,” CUNY Chancellor Matthew Goldstein said.
College officials are also investigating why members of the media were barred from the forum. The investigation will be led by CUNY’s top lawyer, Frederick Schaffer, and an independent consultant, who will report their findings back to Goldstein.
