Two Jewish professors under investigation for “race and gender discrimination” have not been given copies of an official complaint against them because the college claims that they doxxed private information, according to emails obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Professors Jeffrey Lax and Michael Goldstein have been sounding the alarm about antisemitism at Kingsborough Community College (KCC), which is part of the City University of New York (CUNY) system, for the last several years, most recently by voicing concern when the school appointed anti-Zionist CUNY official Lili Shi to hire an antisemitism diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) officer, according to the Washington Free Beacon. Lax and Goldstein told the DCNF that they were offhandedly informed by the college that they were under investigation for “bullying” and exploiting her “vulnerability as an immigrant,” but have never been given a copy of the charges against them because the college claims they doxxed Shi’s address.
David Holley, a partner at the global advisory firm Stoneturn and KCC’s investigator into Shi’s complaint, refused to give Lax or Goldstein a copy of the complaint, accusing them of doxxing Shi’s address in an article by the Free Beacon and would only say that Shi had experienced “targeted cyber bullying,” “a case of race and gender discrimination” and that they had exploited her “vulnerability as an immigrant.”

Ahead of the event, anti-Israel protest groups issued a call to rally next to the campus on Oriental Boulevard, circulating a graphic that said, “Students and workers say no to rehabilitating the image of war criminals.”
Kingsborough’s Hillel asked the administration for upgraded security due to the protest. Instead, the administration opted to cancel the event hours before it was supposed to start, the college’s Hillel told the New York Jewish Week.
A Kingsborough spokesperson confirmed the event had been canceled due to protests “out of an abundance of caution to ensure safety and appropriate access to campus for our students, faculty, and staff.”
A number of faculty asked the administration to reverse the decision to no avail, Hillel said. Jeff Lax, a Kingsborough business professor and outspoken advocate for Zionist students, said he requested a meeting and waited outside the office of University President Suri Duitch for 20 minutes while she was inside, but said she did not come out to speak with him.
The pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel protest still took place, drawing around 30 people who waved Palestinian flags and, according to a video by Lax, chanted, “Resistance is justified when people are occupied.”
The protesters declared “victory” after the event.

“The shameful event allowing a former high-ranking IOF soldier on campus, hosted by Kingsborough Community College and Hillel, has been SHUT DOWN!” a student pro-Palestinian group posted on social media, using a derisive abbreviation for Israel’s military that stands for Israel Occupation Force. “Power to CUNY students and workers! Free Palestine!”
The next day, on Tuesday, Kingsborough Hillel was scheduled to hold an Israeli Independence Day event on an outdoor terrace on campus, but the college ordered organizers to move the event indoors. A photo from the scene showed nine security guards stationed outside the door.
Meanwhile, at Baruch, the campus Hillel said on Instagram last week that the college had ordered the club’s Yom Ha’atzmaut, or Independence Day, event on May 2 “canceled” due to security concerns.
Baruch College told the New York Jewish Week that Hillel had been offered other locations for the event.
“The safety of our students remains our top priority,” the college said in a statement. “Regarding the Yom Ha’atzmaut celebration, Hillel was offered two alternative spaces on campus. They declined the opportunity to hold the event in these alternative locations, choosing to cancel instead.”
Baruch Hillel did not respond to a request for comment, but posted on Instagram that the school is “sending a strong message to Jewish students that they cannot adequately protect Jewish students, while the protestors spew hateful and intimidating language in our public spaces without any repercussions.”
The post added, “Baruch College is silencing the voice of the Jewish students and their ability to celebrate their Jewish identity proudly and openly.”
In the same Instagram post, the Hillel also uploaded video showing protesters chanting, “Baruch Hillel you can’t hide, we charge you with genocide.”

— BASICS
Name: Mikala Alijah Seabrooke, A.K.A. Michael or Mik. Age / D.O.B.: 58 / April 17th, 1965. Gender, Pronouns & Sexuality: Male in the same way you might view Cthulhu as a masculine figure, he / him / his, demisexual & aromantic. Hometown: Brooklyn, New York. Affiliation: The Syndicate. Job position: Organ trafficker (and other extracurricular activities), retired funeral director as of 2021. Education: Completed all 12 grades, acquired a health sciences degree at Kingsborough Community College at age 27 and a mortuary science degree at Hudson Valley Community College at age 32. Has undergone continuing education throughout his time working for funeral homes. Relationship status: Some secret third thing (weird marriage is the secret third thing). Children: None that he wishes to be aware of (two probably). Positive traits: + Articulate, confident, hardworking, methodical, persuasive. Negative traits: - Amoral, antagonistic, cruel, morbid, pedantic.
— BIOGRAPHY (CONTENT WARNING: military involvement, death, cruelty, murder, war crimes, torture, animal/human experimentation, gore, organ trafficking - it's just bad news bears under here, heed the warnings. Please refer to the abridged version w/o heavy mentions of these triggers if the content below is not for you.)
It’s spring of 1965 in Brooklyn, New York. A boy enters the world, healthy and screaming. He is the last born of three boys, and the only one to survive the following years, evading the Grim Reaper’s forceful grip. With a single mother and three boys with their own unique challenges, their family is unorthodox.
Mikala, or Michael as he’s known in social circles, is even more unorthodox. Childhood is simple enough, frustrating because he could never relate to his peers, not even his own brothers. An odd child, it starts the same as it always does—a general malaise towards the living, a penchant for experimenting with the dead. No one needs to know about the roadkill he conducts experiments on, so they don't.
He graduates high school in 1983, top of his class, then promptly enlists in the United States Army. It matters not to him that he lost both of his brothers, five and eight years his senior respectively, to war. Serving your country is merely what you did to make the men in your life proud and the women dote over you. Above all, he wants to feel—to kill.
Cut to 1985. He's twenty years old and feels so alive after witnessing so much death and depravity in a mere two years. He has a hostage. He should tell someone, he really should. But this is his capture, and so he doesn't. The torture lasts a handful of days, though it might as well have lasted a lifetime to his innocent victim. Interrogation leads to physical harm, lighting the match to a fiery path of torture, experimentation and, finally, death. Information acquired from his hostage is offered up to those positioned above him on a bloodied silver platter. Questions aren't asked, not for now.
Jump a few more years to 1989. He has completed his time in the military, not by choice. It's alleged that Michael committed multiple war crimes during his time serving, but only by a singular witness. The trial drones on for nearly a year, no evidence is found, and he walks as a free man amongst the innocents. His ability to lie and twist stories saves him multiple times throughout his life. Immediately after this, he enrolls into community college.
The next few years are uneventful, though he's intoxicated by power after winning his hefty case. He lives on the downlow by choice, having tasted plenty of murder in his time in the military. This changes at age 29 in 1994. In ice cold blood, he murders the woman he's dating. With attention to detail, he dissects and learns to preserve the human body, the organs within it.
He enters 1995 by enrolling into yet another community college, this time in mortuary science. Ten lovely years go by as he pursues his one and lonely passion, until he is noticed by The Syndicate. Wrong place, right time, or perhaps the other way around. In either case, Michael offers himself—his services—up. It takes a village to be this criminal and ruthless, and so he accepts the inherent shelter this organization provides. He trades his access to cadavers, more specifically organs, in return with the time-to-time involvement in assassinations, murders, and body disposal as well.
Throughout this time, starting in the mid-1990s, Michael discovers an inmate named Malachi Howahkan and does research on his case. Naturally, he likes what he finds, so he begins sending letters, money, et cetera to him. The two become romantically involved, going so far to propose to each other in their letters. Funnily, Malachi is the exact reason Michael enters The Syndicate in the first place, his soon-to-be husband in prison noticed and recruited first. When Malachi is released from prison in 2003, he shows up on Michael's doorstep. Just as naturally, he accepts his long-term penpal and partner, albeit with some surprise. Within the year, they're married.
From 2005 to 2021, life continues on as normal as it can for the abnormal. Summer of 2021 brings his retirement as a funeral director, a slightly controversial move, yet he's not lost access to what matters most in his position with The Syndicate. He finds alternative means, he always does.
As of 2023, he dedicates himself wholly to the gang, the only commitment that's ever mattered to him.
ABRIDGED VERSION: Born to a single mother, loses his brothers to war, enlists in the Army himself, commits multiple war crimes, is taken to court based on those war crimes, no evidence is found, he wins the case, acquires a degree in health sciences, murders woman he's in a relationship with shortly after graduating, acquires another degree in mortuary science, spends several years working in funeral services and participating in extracurricular activities on the side, discovers Malachi Howahkan while he's in prison and becomes his penpal, the two start a romantic relationship of sorts, they marry almost immediately after Malachi is released from prison, joins The Syndicate in 2005 due to his access to bodies, cements himself as an organ trafficker with occasional involvement in assassinations/murders, retires as a funeral director in 2021, continues his unscrupulous work for the organization.
— WANTED CONNECTIONS / PLOTS
Dalliances: It's rare for him to get intimately involved with someone, given his marriage, however it's not impossible. It's turbulent, it's hardly romantic, and it's all about gain—for him. He's using the person for one reason or another. Again, deets are worked out as we plot/write. (0 / 2) Ex-lovers: The dalliances that are no longer dallying. Again, quite rare for him to accumulate past lovers, but he's nearly sixty for God's sake and has been around the block once or twice. (0 / 2) Friends: Or whatever is the next best thing. These are people he doesn't mind, actively seeks out for company, etc. This is most often going to be other Syndicate members. Formal apology for the pet names said friends have garnered over time—think of them as his way of saying "I don't loathe you." Foes: He keeps his friends close and his foes closer. There are a million and one ways he could've wronged your muse and created this hostile attitude towards each other, so let's chat it out! Coworkers: A.K.A. beloved Syndicate members. He is particularly fond of those who get their hands bloody, and likely enlists their assistance in acquiring cadavers for organ trafficking purposes, delighted to take care of and dispose of the body for them. While he'll do the "acquiring" part himself, even after his retirement from the funeral home, he likes it more when he can get someone else to. Ex-coworkers could include other funeral service workers, hospital staff, etc. Military mates: Essentially, people who served at the same time he did (1983-1989). Doesn't have to be Army branch but it does help. Perhaps the one person to witness his war crimes and snitch? Children of Dracula: Alright, this is a little dramatic, but. Michael's kids that he doesn't have a connection with and never has, however perhaps they've reached out? Want to get to know estranged papa? They would be in their late 20s to early/mid 30s. (0 / 2) Cop who arrested him: Self explanatory. This is the police officer that took him into custody when he was accused for war crimes, maybe even believes he's guilty despite the verdict. Bad blood all around. (0 / 1) Lawyer who defended him: Again, self explanatory. Legal representation was his lifeline during his trial, and he likely feels as if he owes this person to this day. (0 / 1)

Jeffrey Lax, a Kingsborough Community College professor and a founder of the group, called the university’s recent history of antisemitism “a well-documented but unaddressed cancer” and said having Abd Alla host the “event feels like we have now reached stage 4 of the cancer.”
Abd Alla’s had been overseeing a discrimination complaint tied to Lax until he objected and it was assigned to outside counsel.
“Was David Duke or Farrakhan not available @ChancellorCUNY? This is gaslighting at its finest,” tweeted the New York City-based group StopAntisemtism.
Liora Rez, executive director of StopAntisemitism, said the group gave CUNY a failing grade in its 2022 report on campus antisemitism “partially because they do not include Jews in their DEI efforts.”
The group called for Abd Alla’s removal from her role.
CAIR portrays itself as an American Muslim civil rights group, but the Anti-Defamation League said some of it leadership “had early connections with organizations that are or were affiliated” with the terrorist group Hamas.
The ADL also described some CAIR leaders as having used “inflammatory anti-Zionist rhetoric that on a number of occasions has veered into antisemitic tropes.”
Monday’s diversity discussion is as part of Chancellor Felix Matos Rodriguez’ “Campus Climate Support Initiative.” The series is expected to address “sensitive and important topics such as confronting anti-Semitism, fighting gender-based discrimination….and combating anti-Muslim hatred, among others.”
CUNY on Friday said the program would be a webinar instead of in person “due to the significant interest in attending this program virtually.”

by Jeffrey Lax
Many of those murdered by Hamas had their cell phones taken. Hamas videoed the murdered victims with their own phones, and uploaded the videos and images to the victims’ social media pages, for their families and friends to see.
I could go on, and I could share unwatchable videos and photos here, but I will not.
Instead, I will share the vapid message you shared after all of this with our campus community — many of whom have relatives in Israel– about these horrors.
You wrote: “we must only [sic] not continue to pray for peace, but each of us must act for peace and understanding in ways that will continue to bridge that which threatens to divide us.”
When Jews were the victims of such unimaginable atrocities, that was your message?
I ask that decent people reading this email compare these hollow words to the lengthy other meaningful statements you have previously issued in brutal attacks against other groups.
People can draw their own conclusions.
We can also compare your words with what other presidents at CUNY have said about the recent monstrosities:
Brooklyn College President Michelle Anderson stated, “we condemn the violent attack by Hamas on Israel and its diverse peoples.” Hunter President Ann Kirschner stated “we condemn the violent attack by Hamas terrorists on Israel.” BMCC President Anthony Munroe emphatically expressed, “the heinous attack by Hamas on Israel and its people is as horrific as it is heartbreaking.”
There is also some deeply hurtful history here. Some people will be shocked to learn that in May 2021, a Kingsborough student beat an Orthodox Jew with a baseball bat, blocks from our campus. Leaving no doubt about his motivations, the student yelled, “Kill All the Jews! Free Palestine!” while beating his victim.
He was charged with a hate crime. Soon after the attack, Brooklyn College issued a strong statement condemning it.
But President Schrader, you said absolutely nothing about the gruesome attack. For me, an openly observant Jew, that really hurt. One of our own students was responsible for something so horrific against an underrepresented group that has been victimized by all too much horror and violence, and you refused to speak.
