 Coalition of student groups at CUNY say protest 'is to let the administration know that war criminals cannot be hired' 
 
 Students at the City University of New York have said they will continue protesting against David Petraeus and pledged to "make his time in New York a living hell" after a video emerged showing the former general being hounded as he left the university on Monday. 
 
 The footage, which went viral after being posted to YouTube, showed Petraeus being verbally abused as he left his first lecture as visiting professor at Macaulay Honors College. One protester could be heard referring to the former four-star general as a "piece of shit" as he walked down the street in Manhattan. 
 
 Erick Moreno, a 28-year-old linguistics major at CUNY's Queen's College, said students would protest every one of Petraeus's weekly lectures. 
 
 "This will be a recurring thing," Moreno said. "Whatever it will take to push him off our campus we will do. We know he teaches every Monday." 
 
 Moreno said the protest against Petraeus was organised by the Ad Hoc Committee Against the Militarization of CUNY, which consists of a number of different organisations, including Students Without Borders and the Revolutionary Student Coordinating Committee, of which he is a member, and was backed by some faculty members. 
 
 The video, which shows Petraeus being heckled and harassed, was mostly met with negative reaction this week, however, with more people disliking than liking the footage on YouTube. New York Magazine noted that Petraeus "comes across better than anyone else in this video". A comment posted underneath the 1.27-minute film on YouTube, which had been liked seven times, said: "This video depicts CUNY as an embarrassment of an institution of learning." 
 
 Moreno said the organised protest had merely consisted of a loose picket outside the building where Petraeus was teaching, with a list of speakers. He said that the protest had run for two hours from the start of Petraeus's class, at 2.30pm, and ended quietly after a total of 100 people had attended. 
 
 The demonstration in the video took place after Petraeus's session had finished at 6.30pm, Moreno said. He said the people in the footage "were just students taking their own initiative". 
 
 Students will protest against Petraeus's presence again on Monday, Moreno said. He said a coalition of groups would form "your traditional picket", which would be peaceful, and would take place outside the building where Petraeus is due to teach. 
 
 "There are other students that are willing to go the extra step and wait for him after class and just make his time here in New York a living hell basically," Moreno added. 
 
 Petraeus, who served as commanding general in Iraq and oversaw all coalition forces in the country, is teaching a course titled "Are We On the Threshold of the North American Decade?" 
 
 The weekly class is billed as an interdisciplinary seminar where students "examine in depth and then synthesize the history and trends in diverse public policy topics with a view towards recommendations for America's leadership role in the emerging global economy". 
 
 Petraeus was appointed director of the CIA in 2011 but resigned in November 2012 after revelations of an extra-marital affair. 
 
 "The purpose of the protest is to let the administration know that war criminals cannot be hired, especially on a campus that historically has been a working class institution," Moreno said. "He is obviously not in our interest. So we want him out of campus." 
 
 Hunter College professor Sandor John, who helped organise the protest, told CNN that "a lot of our students are from countries that have been targeted by the United States." He added: "We don't want someone like him on campus." 
 
 In a statement, Ann Kirschner, the dean of Macaulay, said the university was "a place where complex issues and points of view across the political and cultural spectrum are considered and debated in the hopes that we might offer solutions to the problems in our world". 
 
 Kirschner said that "it is important that multiple points of view be heard," but said "it is essential that dialogue within the academic setting always be conducted civilly." 

 Story highlights Some at the City University of New York don't want David Petraeus as a visiting professor 
 
 On Monday, students, faculty, activists protested his arrival at Macaulay Honors College 
 
 They reject his record, but dean says complex issues and points of view should be respected 
 
 The retired four-star Army general's attorney had no comment Thursday 
 
 City University of New York students and faculty plan to continue protesting the arrival of retired four-star Army Gen. David Petraeus , who is a visiting professor at the school, said a professor who helped form a committee aiming to oust the former CIA director. 
 
 On Monday, CUNY students, faculty and other activists, led by the newly formed Ad Hoc Committee Against the Militarization of CUNY, used signs and chants to protest Petraeus' arrival at Macaulay Honors College. 
 
 Amateur video shot by Brian Hudson, who tells CNN he was among the protesters, shows a group of young adults approaching Petraeus as he walks near Manhattan's Central Park West, calling him "disgusting" and a "war criminal." It is unclear if these protesters are CUNY students. 
 
 A flier from the committee lists several student groups and professors who support banning "this mass murderer" from teaching at the CUNY school. 
 
 Hunter College adjunct professor Sandor John, who teaches Latin American history and helped organize Monday's protest, says it should come as no surprise that so many diverse groups support the committee's effort to oust Petraeus. 
 
 "A lot of our students are from countries that have been targeted by the United States," John said. "We don't want someone like him on campus." 
 
 In a prepared statement, Dr. Ann Kirschner, dean of Macaulay Honors College, said that the university must strive to connect students with "remarkable leaders and thinkers" and that complex issues and points of view should be respected. 
 
 "While the college supports the articulation of all points of view on critical issues, it is essential that dialogue within the academic setting always be conducted civilly." 
 
 Robert Barnett, Petraeus' attorney, had no comment Thursday. 
 
 The next protest is scheduled for Monday, John said. 
 
 Petraeus is teaching a once-a-week course titled "Are We On the Threshold of the North American Decade?" It's an interdisciplinary seminar in which students "examine in depth and then synthesize the history and trends in diverse public policy topics with a view towards recommendations for America's leadership role in the emerging global economy," a course description says. 
 
 In April, Petraeus said he was pleased to have the opportunity to work with Macaulay's talented and diverse students, a news release said.

Broadwell's family and friends, along with a public relations firm she hired, are making efforts to counter what they see as an extremely negative portrayal of her by some media outlets.

– The City University of New York may have dropped the salary of its new "visiting professor" David Petraeus from $200,000 to $1, but that hasn't silenced critics of his appointment. Petraeus' teaching appearance at the uni last week drew some 100 protestors, reports the Guardian. "A lot of our students are from countries that have been targeted by the United States," a CUNY professor who helped organize the protest tells CNN. "We don't want someone like him on campus." Last Monday's incident was caught on a YouTube video, which shows some protestors following Petraeus down the street, calling him a "war criminal" and chanting, "Every class, David!"—a promise to be back to picket every one of his weekly lectures. "Whatever it will take to push him off our campus we will do," says one protestor, per the Guardian. "We know he teaches every Monday."
