By the Ad Hoc Committee Against the Militarization of CUNY
A “Statement of Support to CUNY Students” attacked at the September 17 protest has been signed by hundreds of academics, while the Professional Staff Congress, the union representing 25,000 CUNY faculty and staff, passed a “PSC Resolution in Protest of Violent Police Response to Peaceful Protest by CUNY Students” by unanimous vote of the union’s Delegate Assembly.
On September 30, when two of the CUNY Six were invited to address a PSC “Contract Now!” rally in front of the CUNY Board of Trustees' meeting at Baruch College, they got an enthusiastic response from union members as they explained the goals of the struggle. The repression unleashed against protesters shows “a fundamental fact,” emphasized one organizer of the anti-militarization campaign: “Petraeus’ backers cannot answer the documented truth about his actions as CIA chief and war commander – so they send enforcers in blue to try to silence our voice. But the truth of our message will not and cannot be silenced by the NYPD’s billy clubs, choke holds and fists.”
An Ad Hoc Committee spokeswoman stated: “We want to express our gratitude to supporters, near and far, for taking a firm stand against the militarization of our schools. In light of these developments, we are even more determined to oust Petraeus and ROTC through protest and exposure.” In the following weeks it will be crucial to continue spreading the word about developments in this struggle to defend the university from a targeted campaign of imperialist militarism and police-state repression. We invite groups and individuals in solidarity with this struggle to keep mobilizing for protests outside of Petraeus’ sinister “class."
Statement of Support to CUNY Students

Statement of Support to CUNY Students Attacked and Arrested in Peaceful Protests Against Ex-Gen. David Petraeus
On September 18, 2013, a press release issued by the Ad Hoc Committee Against the Militarization of CUNY stated: "Six students were arrested in a brutal, unprovoked police attack during a peaceful protest by the City University of New York's students and faculty against CUNY's appointment of former CIA chief ex-General David Petraeus. Students were punched, slammed against vehicles and against the pavement by police captains and officers, after the NYPD forced them off the pavement and onto the street."
As graduate students and educators of CUNY, we express our outrage at the violent and unprovoked actions by the NYPD against CUNY students peacefully protesting the appointment of war criminal David Petraeus as a lecturer at the Macaulay Honors College. We deplore the use of violence and brutal tactics against CUNY students and faculty who were protesting outside the college. It is unacceptable for the university to allow the police to violently arrest students.
We emphatically support the efforts of these CUNY students to resist the attempts by the U.S. government and the CUNY administration to turn the university into an infamous "war college" with the appointment of Petraeus. Petraeus is responsible for countless deaths and innumerable destruction in Iraq and Afghanistan as a war commander and chief of the CIA. Although resigning from his position as CIA director in November, Petraeus has continued his involvement in U.S. foreign policy. Most recently Petraeus has called on Congress to back a military strike on Syria, stating "failure of Congress to approve the president's request would have serious ramifications not just in the Mideast but around the world." His current roles as "adjunct" lecturer at CUNY and professor at USC speak to the increasing U.S. military and state security involvement within higher education.
We call on CUNY to terminate Petraeus' appointment and to ask for the charges against these students to be dropped immediately.
