Office of Diversity and Equity Programs

Brooklyn College is committed to values and policies that enhance respect for individuals and their cultures. In fact, the college's cultural, racial, and ethnic diversity is one of our distinguishing characteristics. The Office of Diversity and Equity Programs is responsible for ensuring the college's compliance with CUNY policies as well as federal, state, and local laws pertaining to diversity, equal employment opportunity, affirmative action, nondiscrimination, and sexual misconduct.

We Stand Against Anti-Semitism

January 3, 2022

Dear Brooklyn College Community,

In late December, a Brooklyn College student and a friend were beaten and called “dirty Jews” in an incident that is being investigated as a hate crime in Bay Ridge. The College denounces hatred and stands in solidarity with the student and members of the Jewish community, as well as any community that is subjected to acts of targeted hate. Antisemitism has no place at Brooklyn College. If you believe that you have been discriminated against on the basis of religion or any other protected identity with regards to a Brooklyn College program, please contact my office.

Thank you,

Anthony Brown, Esq.
Chief Diversity Officer and Special Assistant to the President
Office of Diversity and Equity Programs
