The cancellation of a showing this week of the documentary “Israelism” caused a backlash from the college’s Senate, which called it a violation of academic freedom.
Hunter’s interim president, Ann Kirschner, announced that the scheduled screening had been canceled because of safety concerns.
The school declined to provide further specifics about why it made that decision. But faculty members said there was an email campaign criticizing what it described as the film’s “anti-Israel sentiment” and calling for cancellation.
