It’s not a sit-in. It’s not a stand-off. It’s a Poser-fest: Take it from an NYU alumnus. This whole NYU protest is sad and embarassing. Can these students tell the difference between desires and rights? Can they tell the difference between a private university and a state university?
There are mechanisms to make requests from school management in a civilized fashion, people.
Plus, how about a little focus? They want budget transparency and – while you’re at it – throw in some scholarships for Gaza students and “new programs that encourage social and environmental responsibility”. The whole NYU campus is an infomerical for social and environmental responsibility!
An irreverent Gawker has more here and here.
NYU’s online student paper is also covering the story.
