The heckling followed a protest over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-kills-trump-budget-cuts-totaling-27-4-billion\/\" title=\"Biden Kills Trump Budget Cuts Totaling .4 Billion\">proposed budget cuts<\/a> to the school by Adams and criticisms over his response to the death of Jordan Neely.<\/p>\n<h3>Protest Against Adams&#8217; Terror Against Black &#038; Brown Communities<\/h3>\n<p>Students interrupted, yelled, and booed during Adams\u2019 remarks, which occurred during a Friday graduation ceremony at the Colden Auditorium of Queens College. One student shouted the name \u201cJordan\u201d during the ceremony, a likely reference to Neely, who died after being placed in a chokehold on a subway train. Neely was restrained after witnesses say he embarked on an aggressive rant and began screaming that he did not care if he went to jail.<\/p>\n<p>Adams said that it was irresponsible to classify what happened as \u201cmurder\u201d until more investigation had followed. \u201cI don\u2019t think that\u2019s very responsible at the time where we are still investigating the situation. Let\u2019s let the DA conduct his investigation with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/public-radio-reporter-arrested-for-firebombing-police-cars\/\" title=\"Public Radio \u201cReporter\u201d Arrested For Firebombing Police Cars\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-red-wave-of-conservative-women-elected-to-congress\/\" title=\"The Red Wave of Conservative Women Elected to Congress\">law enforcement<\/a> officials<\/a>. To really interfere with that is not the right thing to do and I\u2019m going to be responsible and allow them to do their job and allow them to determine exactly what happened here,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<h3>CUNY Law School May Lose $150 Million in City Funding<\/h3>\n<p>His speech followed news that CUNY might lose around $150 million in city funding, according to Comptroller Brad Lander, who said that the cuts would have a deleterious effect on the school. \u201cThat means a CUNY that cannot show up for its students,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Other attendees in the crowd appeared to have a more positive response to Adams\u2019 words, at times clapping and cheering. \u201cThese are exciting times, and we know we can move this city forward as we did with the issues around immigration, issues around public safety, issues around how we build a better city for all,\u201d Adams said, as students continued to yell.<\/p>\n<h3>Former Cop Faces Criticism Over Commencement Appearances<\/h3>\n<p>It is not the first time that Adams, a former cop, has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/south-dakota-lowers-unemployment-to-pre-pandemic-levels-after-state-rejected-lockdowns\/\" title=\"South Dakota Lowers Unemployment to Pre-Pandemic Levels After State Rejected Lockdowns\">faced criticism<\/a> over his commencement appearances. Last year, students attempted to ban Adams from speaking at Pace University, to no avail.<\/p>\n<h3>Takeaway<\/h3>\n<p>The incident at CUNY Law School highlights the ongoing tensions between law enforcement and communities of color, as well as the impact of budget cuts on public education. It also raises questions about the role of public officials in addressing these issues and the responsibility of law enforcement in cases of police brutality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Graduates from the City University of New York (CUNY) School of Law turned their backs and yelled as New York City Mayor Eric Adams delivered the school\u2019s 2023 commencement address.
