In a previous post, I opined that spoiled kids who don’t want to deal with their student loans are one of the motivating forces behind the Wall Street protests. Flush with neo-1960s pride, students have been pouring out of classrooms. That’s not news. One expects that from the young, Marxist-informed and excitable.
What is news (assuming it’s true) is that at least one college is helping its students get on the bus. Literally. A friend of a Facebook friend is a student at Sarah Lawrence, and claims that it is providing free shuttle bus services for students who want to join the protest. That’s the only source I have for this claim, so consider it currently unverified and worthy of investigation, not quotation. Right now, I’m just asking questions.
So, does anybody have further information on a student’s claim that Sarah Lawrence College itself (rather than a third party) is providing free shuttles to take kids from school to Wall Street? And if Sarah Lawrence is indeed busing kids into New York for protests, are any other colleges doing so?

Hmmm... is this the kind of education they pay for?
Sarah Lawrence is the MOST EXPENSIVE SCHOOL IN AMERICA.
See here:
EXCERPT:
According to Forbes magazine in its list of most expensive colleges, Bronxville’s Sarah Lawrence College tops the chart, costing $57,556 for tuition fees and room and board. And that doesn’t even include books or any other personal expenses or a $1780 charge for accident and sickness insurance.
“Unlike any other college, Sarah Lawrence requires individual, biweekly student-faculty meetings, as part of every seminar (approximately 94 percent of our classes),” said college President Karen Lawrence to Forbes.
“As a result, our students spend almost twice the time in one-on-one discussion with faculty as students at other prestigious liberal arts schools,” she said.
The research and surveys used to compile the list did not include financial aid, which is received by 65 percent of Sarah Lawrence students.
Possibly, if they have a cooperative program with a corporation, hospital or school in the area. If they bussed students to protest -- and if anything happened -- they'd be filleted alive by the tort lawyers. I doubt many college presidents are so brave or so stupid.
Yes, of course they do. Their students have loads of free time. Penn students have none of that.
"Sarah Lawrence requires individual, biweekly student-faculty meetings"
The only Question I would Ask Of these Protestors is,WHO DID YOU VOTE FOR IN THE LAST PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION? Obama ,Then what the Hell are you Complaining about, You got what you Voted for ,CHANGE,So Get the Hell out of Here
