Updated: Over Four Hundred Faculty Nationwide Call for NYPD Commissioner’s
Resignation
Today, more than four hundred faculty from across the country wrote to New York City
Mayor Michael Bloomberg, adding theirs to a multitude of voices calling for Police
Commissioner Ray Kelly and Deputy Commissioner Paul Brown to step down. A
response to the NYPD’s over-reaching and indiscriminate surveillance of Muslim student
associations along the Northeast seaboard, this is the first nationwide faculty response to
the Associated Press’s reporting of the NYPD’s extensive surveillance of Muslim
communities in New York and beyond. The call for resignation is based on a number of
rights-abusing practices under Commissioner Kelly including the widespread, invasive
surveillance of Muslim life, particularly on college campuses, and the skyrocketing
numbers of stop-and-frisks by police over the decade. Signatories include Muneer
Ahmad, Meena Alexander, Kwame Anthony Appiah, Moustafa Bayoumi, Seyla
Benhabib, Judith Butler, Erwin Chemerinsky, Kathleen Cleaver, Ruth Wilson Gilmore,
Todd Gitlin, Matthew Frye Jacobson, Amy Kaplan, Rashid Khalidi, David Luban, Vijay
Prashad, Bill Qugley, Bruce Robbins, Andrew Ross, Saskia Sassen, Joan Scott, Richard
Sennett, Chris Tilly, Siva Vaidhyanathan, Howard Winant, John Womack, and more.
Many of the signatories come from schools the NYPD spied on.
***
We, the undersigned faculty, call for the resignation of New York Police Commissioner
Raymond Kelly and Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne. Under their leadership over the
past decade:
The number of stop-and-frisks has skyrocketed, reaching an all-time high in 2010 of
600,601 stops, eighty-nine percent of which were of Black and Latino people. This is up
from 97,296 in 2002. While the department claims this is about fighting crime, only 0.13
percent of last year’s stops resulted in the discovery of a firearm, and only seven percent
of the stops resulted in arrests.
In the decade since 9/11, with the help of the CIA, the NYPD, according to extensive
investigations by the Associated Press, has “become one of the nation's most aggressive
domestic intelligence agencies." According to the AP's investigation, the NYPD
Intelligence Division and its Demographics Unit engaged in extensive surveillance and
mapping of Sunni and Shi'a Muslim communities in New York City, Long Island, and
New Jersey.
The NYPD monitored Muslim student associations at local colleges—Brooklyn College,
City College, Baruch College, Hunter College, Queens College, LaGuardia Community
College and St. John’s University—and universities across the northeast, including Yale
University, Rutgers University, Columbia University, Princeton University, Syracuse
University, and the University of Pennsylvania, going so far as to send undercover
detectives to spy on student groups. Such surveillance has a chilling effect on student life
and the intellectual freedom necessary for a vibrant academic community.
The NYPD screened for more than 1489 officers the anti-Muslim film The Third Jihad—
which claims the "true agenda of much of Islam in America" is to “infiltrate and
dominate” the United States. Kelly and Browne cooperated in the production of the film,
with Kelly sitting for a 90-minute interview with the producers. The NYPD covered up
its involvement in the film until news coverage stemming from FOIL requests forced the
NYPD to change its story.
New York deserves police leadership with integrity that respects and protects the rights
of all New Yorkers. We call for Police Commissioner Kelly's and Deputy Commissioner
Browne's resignation.
