"NYC Professor Fired for Machete Incident and Anti-Israel Rants"

Shellyne Rodriguez, a New York professor previously caught on video holding a machete to a reporter's neck, has reportedly been fired from her teaching position at Cooper Union in Manhattan after making anti-Israel remarks. Her termination came after participating in a CUNY for Palestine virtual panel where she discussed boycotting Jewish landlords and making threatening comments. Rodriguez had previously been terminated from Hunter College and pleaded guilty to harassment and menacing in connection to the attack on the reporter. Her firing also follows pro-Palestinian protests at Cooper Union and her organization of "f--- police" demonstrations in 2020.
