Jeffrey Lax testifies about the need for CUNY to properly define and protect Zionism under its policies, arguing that Zionism is a protected characteristic under both religious and ethnic grounds. He criticizes CUNY's current approach and leadership in handling discrimination complaints related to Zionism.

  • Lax won an EEOC case based on Zionism, establishing it as a protected characteristic
  • He argues that CUNY's chief diversity officer, an "anti-Zionist BDS activist," is unsuitable for the role
  • Lax reveals he was placed under an 8-month investigation for filing an anti-Semitism complaint based on Zionism
