True Stuy Story: I have a friend that teaches there. During the promotion for Tom Cruise's last movie, he was set to ride various modes of transportation around the city to different theaters. He got off his speedboat and was preparing to get on his motorcycle when he noticed a group of students behind Stuy watching. He went over to sign autographs and do the "celebrity thing" when the students started shouting stuff like, "Wow, you're really short!" and "Katie is jailbait!" at him. Basically bullying him. He ran away before the press caught on.
On the other hand, I believe that the actress Lucy Lieu is their patron saint.
Great story!
