Taffy and Khalil are members of RSCC, a CUNY student group that has also been targeted by the NYPD for protests against the appointment of Gen. David Petraeus as \u201cprofessor\u201d at CUNY this fall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\">At the first hearing on Nov 8, CUNY attempted to cap attendance at 15 people despite the availability of three large lecture halls nearby. CCNY security blocked off the main entrance to the NAC building with barricades and the entire building was occupied by large numbers of security officers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\">The hearing was rescheduled for this Friday, November 22.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\">The current CUNY system does not serve working-class and oppressed-nationality students or our communities. The organizing of students who demand concrete changes, such as guaranteed free admissions, is a threat to CUNY\u2019s vision of a whiter, more affluent university. This is why they are attempting to make examples out of Khalil and Taffy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\"><b>All out to Taffy\u2019s and Khalil\u2019s hearings!\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\"><b>Defend the Morales \/ Shakur Center!\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\"><b>Liberate CUNY for the People!<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#0000ff\"><a href=\"http:\/\/revolutionarystudents.wordpress.com\/2013\/11\/20\/rally-in-protest-at-khalil-taffys-disciplinary-hearing\/\"><span style=\"color:#0000ff\">Fuente<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Friday, November 22 @ 9:00AMCity College of New YorkEnter campus at W 137th St and Amsterdam AveIn Front of the North Academic Center On October..<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":37743,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[84,97,119],"tags":[347],"class_list":["post-19678","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-statements","category-us-news","category-war","tag-workers-struggle"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/redphoenix.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/kt_jeffmays.jpg?fit=620%2C413&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19678"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19678\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37743"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19678"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
