Retired Gen. Petraeus to Join USC Faculty

Will teach part-time and mentor ROTC

Retired General and former CIA Director David Petraeus will teach part-time and mentor ROTC members at the University of Southern California, the school announced Thursday.

Petraeus, who resigned as head of the CIA last year after confessing to an extramarital affair, will begin at the university this fall.

"He embodies all the noble qualities of our founder along with a fearless commitment to excellence. His presence will have a profound impact on our students across many disciplines," USC President C. L. Max Nikias said in a press release.
