Petraeus' Course Syllabus Features 'Frackademia' Readings

Petraeus' Course Syllabus Features 'Frackademia' Readings
"Records obtained by DeSmogBlog pertaining to City University of New York (CUNY) Macaulay Honors College's hiring of former head of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) David Petraeus to teach a seminar this coming fall reveal that his syllabus features two of the most well-known "frackademia" studies. 
"Frackademia" is shorthand for oil and gas industry-funded research costumed as independent economics or science covering the topic ofhydraulic fracturing ("fracking"), the controversial horizontal drilling process via which oil and gas is obtained deep within shale rock basins."
