The woke New School claimed it wanted its Jewish students to feel safe, but the school retained a faculty member who was a CUNY ringleader of violent anti-Israel campus protests.

Corinna Mullin, a political science professor specializing in anticolonialism and critical of Western culture, was among the leaders of an April 2024 encampment at the City College of New York’s campus in Harlem.  Mullin was arrested for her role in the protest, which led to the science building catching fire, resulting in $3 million in damages, school officials said.

She became known as one of the “fired four” — a group of CUNY adjunct professors who alleged they were terminated in the summer 2025 for their support of Palestine in the lead-up to a Trump administration congressional hearing on antisemitism on college campuses.

Mullin and two others were reinstated in January, according to Higher Ed Labor United, but it’s unclear if she taught any classes at CUNY this spring semester. Her name didn’t appear on CUNY faculty pages.

The university was the first in the country to have its student senate vote to sanction its Hillel chapter this month — a move school officials insisted the group did not have the authority to do.

Mullin taught a course called “Middle East in the World” in Fall 2025 and is scheduled to teach “Decolonizing International Law” in September.

She has called Arab countries normalizing ties with Israel “high treason” — and has worked with the Samidoun network, a sham charity that acts as a front for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terrorist organization, according to the State Department. She didn’t reply to a request for comment.

The university, meanwhile, continued to insist every student, regardless of background, was “welcome, valued and respected” at New School and that the move to sanction Hillel was “unacceptable.”

“We are looking carefully at how this situation unfolded, what further actions the university needs to take,” a spokesperson told The Post.

The student senate voted May 1 to end funding for Hillel, claiming its participation in trips that sent students to volunteer on military bases in Israel tied it to “grave violations of international law.”

Hillel said targeting its apolitical organization amounted to attacking Jewish identity on campus, and that the Israel trips were funded by private donations, not through student fees.

“The idea that student money is somehow funding foreign military operations is simply incorrect,” said Michael Valdes, a graduating MFA student and Hillel member, who served on the student senate last year.

“People are entitled to their opinion about Israel, the war and international politics. But political disagreement cannot become the justification for excluding a student club from campus life.”

Only a small source of Hillel’s funding came from the student fees distributed by the student senate, and the organization has not had to cancel any events.

“We will continue to be at this campus,” said Valdes in an address to the student senate Friday.
