Letter to Chancellor Milliken (1 of 2)

Dear Chancellor James B. Milliken,

As faculty, staff, and students of the City University of New York, we demand that you work to end the New York Police Department’s apparent practice of sending spies to monitor Muslims at CUNY institutions. An investigative report by The Gothamist of October 29, 2015 reveals that this practice may be continuing under the administration of Mayor Bill de Blasio. CUNY alumni have discovered that an undercover officer known as “Melike Ser” frequently attended activities of the Islamic Society student organization at Brooklyn College over several years — staging a false conversion to Islam, becoming intimate with the group’s membership, and attempting to elicit incriminating statements of support for terrorism. They report seeing her at other events connected to Islam in the city (including at John Jay College) as recently as December 2014.

In 1992, CUNY Chancellor W. Ann Richards signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the NYPD that allowed the police to enter CUNY campuses in non-emergency circumstances only with the permission of CUNY officials. The NYPD’s apparent practice of sending undercover agents to gain the trust of students makes a mockery of this agreement. Such surveillance chills the atmosphere of free speech and open dialogue that educational institutions require, and it violates constitutional protections that require specific search warrants.

You must formally state your opposition to these operations and work actively to stop them. Their continuation will be a great stain on the university.
Sincerely,

Corey Robin
