SDNY COURTHOUSE, June 14 – 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.

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