You say CUNY right? The same CUNY that fired all its tenured faculty in 1980s and they are now doing this. And there are people who still live in En el pais de las maravillas and support them? This Karen Steele and others I have been writing to now for two years about abuses of academic dishonesty there. They never respond or do anything at all. They stole my intellectual property also. I have been denouncing these abuses in academia(cacademia) now throughout my career and all I have received is shuning, abuse, mocking, persecutions from the same people that I was defending. Maybe now they will wake up and smell the coffee. Regards.
