Two Hunter College Palestinian studies faculty applications for teaching issues such as apartheid and genocide were canceled on Tuesday, according to a City University of New York statement, after direction from New York Governor Kathy Hochul.

The social science and art and humanities job postings were removed from the public university system's website, with the CUNY Board of Trustees Chairperson William Thompson Jr. and Chancellor Félix Matos Rodríguez saying that they had agreed with the governor and ensured that her order was enacted.

“We find this language divisive, polarizing and inappropriate," the CUNY trustees said of the postings.
