Cooper Union is the school where Jewish students were recently trapped in a library by anti-Israel protesters.
The New York Post reports:
Cooper Union alumni threaten to end donations over school’s response to anti-Israel protestorsOver 300 Cooper Union alumni are threatening to cut donations to the university over its response to an anti-Israel demonstration that left a group of Jewish students cornered inside a campus library in fear for their safety.The graduates made the funding threat in a scathing Nov. 2 letter to Cooper Union that accused the school of being “more concerned with avoiding a scandal than protecting its Jewish students.”The letter alleged Cooper Union’s director of campus safety of advising the NYPD not to enter the school library during the Oct. 25 protest, even as students made repeated 911 calls as anti-Israel demonstrators banged on the closed doors and yelled anti-Israeli chants in the wake of Hamas’ October 7 attack on the Jewish nation.“It’s unbelievable that a rowdy mob intimidating Jews was not the scandal you feared, nor took action against. Instead, you put students in harm’s way to prevent the PR nightmare of uniformed officers escorting the protesters away from the building,” the letter read.Video from inside the library during the protest showed Jewish students holed up behind metal doors rattling from the banging fists and chants of protestors marching through the hallway.
