Members and friends of the Professional Staff Congress (PSC) at the City University of New York (CUNY), American Federation of Teachers (AFT), and the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) held a press conference in front of City Hall today to condemn what they are calling “modern-day McCarthyism” in higher education and to demand the rehiring of the Fired 4. The press conference comes one day before CUNY’s chancellor joins top administrators from University of California, Berkeley and Georgetown University to testify in Washington before the House Education and Workforce Committee.
