Leonard Jeffries Removed From
City College Black Studies Chair
NEW YORK, N Y (AP)—Leonard
Jeffries has been removed as chair
man of the Black Studies Depart
ment at City College of New York in
a delayed reaction to racially
charged remarks he made about
Jews and whites in a speech last
summer.
City University’s board of trus
tees voted last week to replace Jef
fries just months after the same
board reappointed him to an eight
month probationary term rather
than the usual three-year term.
His chairmanship ends June 30.
The board voted 13—0 to appoint
Edmund Gordon, formerly of Yale
University, to replace Jeffries as
chairman. There was one absten
tion, from the student representa
tive to the board.
Jeffries came under fire last July
when he told an audience at a black
arts festival in Albany that Jews
and mob-connected Italians con
spired to make movies denigrating
blacks. He also said, “You can’t trust
the white boy,” and blamed Jews, in
part, for the African slave trade.
In January, a former student said
that while in Jeffries’ class in 1989,
she heard him say that “Jews are
dogs.”
“It was shocking, because I proba
bly wouldn’t expect that to come out
in a class,” the student, Luz Martin
del-Campos, said at the time.
Jeffries did not return a call to his
office last week. Gordon did not re
turn a call to his home.
Jeffries, who will remain a profes
sor at City College, told the New
York Times that he intends to sue
over the loss of his department
