Over 400 faculty nationwide signed a letter calling for the resignation of NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly and Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne due to concerns over the NYPD's surveillance and profiling of Muslim communities.

The faculty are calling for their resignation due to concerns over the skyrocketing number of stop-and-frisks targeting black and Latino communities, as well as extensive surveillance of Muslim student groups on college campuses across the northeast.

The faculty are concerned about the NYPD's widespread surveillance of Muslim communities, including monitoring of Muslim student associations at local colleges and universities. They are also concerned about the NYPD screening an anti-Muslim film for officers that claimed the 'true agenda' of Islam was to infiltrate and dominate the US.

Updated: Over Four Hundred Faculty Nationwide Call for NYPD Commissioners 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 NYPDs over-reaching and indiscriminate surveillance of Muslim student associations along the Northeast seaboard, this is the first nationwide faculty response to the Associated Presss reporting of the NYPDs 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 years 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 collegesBrooklyn College, City College, Baruch College, Hunter College, Queens College, LaGuardia Community College and St. Johns Universityand 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.
