  • CUNY Student Journalists Tracking Hate Incidents
    CUNY student journalists tracking hate incidents By: SHARON CROWLEY POSTED:DEC 27 2016 06:40PM EST UPDATED:DEC 27 2016 06:55PM EST NEW YORK (FOX 5 NEWS) - Since Election Day, the New York Police Department's Hate Crimes Task Force has seen an increase in the number of reported hate crimes, including one against one of their own officers of Muslim faith. CUNY Professor Jere Hester, the news director at the Graduate School of Journalism, says one way to keep attention on hate crimes is the newly founded Hate Index. He and other professors, students, and volunteers use the website to track reports of hate crimes around the country. It is a record of alleged crimes like anti-Semitic graffiti recently discovered on the campus on Nassau Community College and reports of verbal insults and other incidents of intolerance. The increase in reports of hate crimes has caught the attention of U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch. She recently spoke about it during a visit to Harvey Milk High School in Manhattan. The CUNY professors involved in working on the Hate Index also can tell who is looking at the website. They say it has hits from people all over the country. It has also caught the interest of members of the U.S. Senate and the U.S. Justice Department Predictions! Experts Look Ahead to 2017 in New York Politics December 28, 2016 | by Ben Max As we usually do around this time of year, Gotham Gazette asked New York politicos to look into their crystal balls for predictions for the year ahead.

    TESTIMONY NYC COUNCIL JOINT COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION AND GENERAL WELFARE CHAIRMAN, Mark Treyger CHAIRMAN, Stephen Levin Oversight – Implementation of UPK and 3K Expansion and the Transition of EarlyLearn NYC to DOE Presented on Wednesday, June 27th, 2018 The Council of School Supervisors and Administrators Mark Cannizzaro, President Henry Rubio, Executive Vice President Rosemarie Sinclair, 1st Vice President 40 Rector Street, 12th Floor New York, NY 10006 (212) 823-2020 www.csa-nyc.org Good afternoon, Chairman Treyger and Chairman Levin, and all distinguished members of today’s joint committee hearing. My name is Rosemarie Sinclair, and I am the First Vice President of CSA, the Council of School Supervisors and Administrators. We represent more than 16,000 active and retired men and women who provide leadership in our public schools and in our city-funded EarlyLearn centers. We are grateful for this opportunity to appear before you today to speak on behalf of our Early Childhood Directors and Assistant Directors. CSA applauds the City Council for holding this critical hearing on the “Implementation of UPK and 3K Expansion and the Transition of EarlyLearn NYC to DOE.” We also applaud Mayor de Blasio for implementing Universal PreK and introducing 3K For All to increase the opportunity for 3-year-olds across the city to have access to a quality early childhood education. New York City’s program is ambitious and has set a stellar example for school systems throughout the nation. National Education Association research, amongst other studies, confirms that highly effective Early Childhood Education can positively impact our students, communities, and neighborhoods, resulting in greater social adjustment for youngsters, fewer referrals to special education, higher scores on future standardized literacy and math tests and a lesser likelihood of grade repetition as the years go by.
