There are ongoing protests each Monday when Petraeus teaches his  CUNY Macaulay Honors College class.

After four consecutive weeks of protests against its hiring of ex-CIA chief David Petraeus, the administration of the City University of New York has responded by moving his Macaulay Honors College seminar to a new location on West 57th Street. According to administration memos published by the “Gawker” website, Petraeus’ seminar – “Are We On the Threshold of the North American Decade?” – will be held on the highly securitized 16th floor of the building, which is part of CUNY’s John Jay College of Criminal Justice. According to press reports, a key feature of this new location is its secured parking garage, which would allow Petraeus to come and go without having to encounter protesters. As the “Gawker” site notes: “It’s not clear whether other CUNY classes have ever been placed under such security.”
