Hasidic Woman Sues CUNY For Discrimination on Political Opinion, Opposes Coercion to Sign

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Maxwell Book
BBC-Guardian UK - Honduras - ESPN NY Mag

SDNY COURTHOUSE, July 6 – Faigy Rachel Weiss sued CUNY for being rejected for the Silberman School of Social Work for, she says, being a white Hasidic Jewish female and because of her "imputed political opinion."  

 On June 13, 2022 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Magistrate Judge Valerie Figueredo held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it. 

 Weiss marveled at what she called the arrogance of the publicly paid defendant's lawyers.

 She said she is "shocked at the corruption." The defense countered that mediation would be pointless.

Judge Figueredo however signed a referral to mediation by June 23, and ordered the plaintiff to comply with a motion to compel.

That after mediation was deferred pending a pro bono lawyer, Ms. Weiss wrote to Judge Figueredo that "opposing counsel, who is a tax paid government employee working on behalf of an elected official, has ordered me to sign a different statement that what I wrote... I ask that opposing counsel not be allowed to coerce me to sign anything other than the statement I already signed."

The case is Weiss v. City University of New York et al., 17-cv-3557 (Broderick / Figueredo)
