May I add one more thing?
3:22:55
You may.
3:22:55
Real quick.

We met with the chancellor, a number of students from CUNY, Jewish students from CUNY, about a month and a half ago, and he mentioned that he met with us.
3:23:07
And in the meeting, instead of trying to frame it around antisemitism and the issues we're dealing with on campus, he tried to shy away from that issue and talk about what CUNY can do to help us with our careers.

Now I'm very interested in my career, but I can't focus on my career when I have to focus on fighting anti Semitism on my campus.

Can I ask one follow-up?
3:23:28
Was there any implicit suggestion then that because you have been outspoken, all of you, and talked about the experiences that that would have any kind of detrimental impact on your career?
