News and Updates, Monday September 23

Posted on September 23, 2013 by cunysolidarity

The Professional Staff Congress/CUNY, which represents faculty and professional staff at the city’s campuses, issued a unanimously approved statement calling for the investigation of the use of excessive force by police forces in the brutal arrest of peacefully protesting students at the September 17th protest against Visiting Professor David Petraeus. A video (Gawker, RT) of the police attacks shows an officer repeatedly punching a subdued student in the kidneys. They also call for the CUNY Administration and Board of Trustees to condemn police brutality against students, which it has not yet done.

So far, official CUNY responses have been to support the right of Petraeus to remain on the campus. Interim Chancellor Bill Kelly released a statement, four days after the brutal arrests of students, which reads: “Foreclosing the right of a faculty member to teach and the opportunity of students to learn is antithetical to that tradition, corrosive of the values at the heart of the academic enterprise. We defend free speech and we reject the disruption of the free exchange of ideas.”

Corey Robin, Professor of Political Science at the Graduate Center and Brooklyn College, mentioned the hypocrisy of defending Petraeus’s appointment as an issue of free speech while ignoring the brutal police suppression of student dissent. Robin wrote:

The delicate flowers of academic freedom at CUNY wilt before the jeers and jibes of a few students but warm to the blazing sun of the state. A four-star general who led two brutal counterinsurgency campaigns in Eurasia, a former head of the CIA whose hazing rituals at West Point alone probably outstrip anything the NYPD did to these students, requires the fulsome support of chancellors, senates, and deans. But six students of color beaten by cops, locked up in prison for a day, and now facing a full array of charges from the state, deserve nothing but the cold silence of their university. So much tender solicitude for a man so wealthy and powerful that he can afford to teach two courses at CUNY for a dollar; so little for these students, whose education is the university’s true and only charge.

Glenn Peterson (Chair of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Baruch College), writing on the Professional Staff Congress blog, demonstrates in great detail how Petraeus’s presence is part of an ongoing process to turn CUNY into a military resource. In particular, through the reinstatement of ROTC on campus for the first time since 1972. Peterson cautions that the implications of hiring Petraeus and reinstating ROTC at CUNY are enormous and advises that “all of us at CUNY need to stop and reflect on where this seeming alliance between the military and CUNY is headed, before we move any further on this path that someone else has set us on.”

Other professors at CUNY have written about the increasingly militarized university. An adjunct faculty of Macaulay Honors College informally attended a private talk by Petraeus. She writes that she was noticed, marked as an outsider on her own campus, and surveilled by plain-clothes security because of her presence at her own university. In another post, by a Macaulay Fellow, Karen Gregory writes,

when the majority of students understand that they literally cannot access a faculty member, because he is surrounded by a retinue of bodyguards and policemen, what lessons are sent? When they realize that protesting is met by a powerful security apparatus, how do we maintain the fiction that this hire is inspiring and encouraging productive debate? For them, a security apparatus that does truly warn them not to “get too close” is marking their intellectual development. While I know that many are taking up the phrase “militarization” to understand Petraeus’ presence, for me it’s this boundary marking, these unintended lessons, that worry me the most.

The striking students of Mexico’s National School of Anthropology and History (ENAH) have passed a resolution in support of CUNY students arrested for protesting Petraeus’s appointment. Currently, these students are mobilizing in defense of public education in Mexico City as part of a larger national strike of labor. They have been brutally attacked by riot police and have called for a strike of unlimited duration. They write: “we send you a warm salute of internationalist solidarity. We demand that all the charges against you be dropped immediately.” CUNY sincerely returns this salute – su lucha también nos inspira!

Rally in support of students’ right to protest TODAY Monday, September 23, at 2:30 pm, at Macaulay Honors College, 35 W. 67th Street (between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue). Come and join us!

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.

El 18 de septiembre de 2013, un comunicado de prensa emitido por el Comité Ad Hoc Contra la Militarización de CUNY afirmó: “Seis estudiantes fueron arrestados en un ataque policial brutal y no provocado durante una protesta pacífica llevada a cabo por estudiantes y profesores de la City University of New York contra la designación del ex jefe de la CIA David Petraeus. Los estudiantes recibieron puñetazos, fueron arrojados contra vehículos y contra el pavimento por oficiales y comandantes de policía, luego que NYPD (la policía de la Ciudad de Nueva York) los forzó fuera de la acera hacia la calle.

Como estudiantes graduados y educadores de CUNY expresamos nuestra indignación frente a las acciones violentas y no provocadas de NYPD contra estudiantes de CUNY protestando pacíficamente la designación del criminal de guerra David Petraeus como profesor en el Macaulay Honors College. Deploramos el uso de la violencia y de tácticas brutales contra estudiantes y docentes de CUNY que protestaban fuera de la facultad.

Apoyamos enfáticamente los esfuerzos de los estudiantes de CUNY por resistir los intentos de parte del gobierno de Estados Unidos y de la administración de CUNY de convertir la universidad en una “facultad de guerra” a partir de la designación de Petraeus. Petraeus es responsable por incontadas muertes e innumerable destrucción en Iraq y Afganistán como comandante en jefe y jefe de la CIA. A pesar de su renuncia a su posición como director de la CIA en noviembre, Petraeus ha continuado su participación en la política exterior de Estados Unidos. Más recientemente Petraeus ha llamado al Congreso a apoyar un ataque militar contra Siria, argumentando que si el Congreso no aprueba el pedido del presidente, existirían serias ramificaciones no sólo en el Medio Oriente sino alrededor del mundo. Su actual posición como profesor adjunto en CUNY y profesor en USC ilustra la creciente participación militar y de seguridad estatal en la educación universitaria.

Llamamos a CUNY a poner término al contrato de Petraeus y pedimos que los cargos contra estos estudiantes sean dados de baja inmediatamente.

News Updates Friday, September 20, 2013

Posted on September 20, 2013 by cunysolidarity

On Thursday, an article by Kevin Gosztola on The Dissenter which features our statement of support reported that the six students arrested on Tuesday while protesting Petraeus’ appointment (Augustin Castro, Jose Disla, Denise Ford, Luis Henriquez, Angelica Hernandez and Rafael Pena) face multiple charges including disorderly conduct.

“The students were arrested while Petraeus was attending a CUNY Macaulay Honors College fundraiser. They were outside picketing on a public sidewalk, and, due to the size of the protest, the street. They were in jail for over twenty hours before finally being arraigned,” Gostzola reports.

An article by Adam Gabbatt which was published by The Guardian on Friday morning also features our statement of support to the arrested students and our call for Petraeus’ appointment to be terminated. This article also highlights the Youtube video where NYPD officers are seen repeatedly punching a demonstrator.

We would also like to thank Jadaliyya, MRZine, Mondoweiss and UC Student-Workers Union Local 2865 for featuring our statement.

Finally, we are humbled by the addition of Nobel Peace Laureate Mairead Maguire to our list of signatures.

If you would like to add your signature to the statement of support, please send us an email at cunysolidarity@gmail.com with your name, title and affiliation.
