Brooklyn Professors Condemn Police Monitoring of Muslim Student Groups

The faculty at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York has passed a resolution condemning the New York Police Department for infiltrating Muslim student groups, the Associated Press reported. The AP earlier revealed the strategy, which professors said threatened the civil rights of their students. "The use of undercover police agents and the cultivation of police informers on campus has a chilling effect on the intellectual freedom necessary for a vibrant academic community," the resolution said. A spokesman for the college said that Karen Gould, the president, shared the professors' concerns.
