I’ll never hire any of these students in my company.
Decades ago, in the Doonesbury comic, a professor is sued by a student for a B+ grade. I believe the damages awarded were $4 million. Not sure Gary Trudeau could publish that strip today.
When everybody’s special, nobody’s special.
Hey, they paid big money for "A"s they should get "A"s. It's not like employers consider degrees from this kind of institution to be worth the paper they are printed on, anyway...
When everyone has an A then everyone has an F.
Idiots never heard of “Grade Inflation” which was a BIG deal when I went to college in the late 70s.
Agreed. The students themselves are devaluing their own "education" to the point where it's little more than a certificate of loud whining.
“ Other demands include a tuition freeze from 2023 to 2028.”
One would note with a cynical eye that this covers the timeframe for the current crop of students to pass through the system and get a diploma. They get theirs and the following classes can absorb the increased tuition.
Isn’t Sen. BOB KERRY the President of this school?
This occurred in New York City, not America
“ According to The New School’s “about” page, the university is committed to “developing students who will have an impact on the world and address the most pressing social issues of our time.”
Well someone needs to point out to the university leadership this protest is succeeding at developing students Social awareness just like they wanted right at the university.
I really did think this was a Babylon Bee headline.
“We demand that every student receives a final course grade of A ... “Attendance shall have no bearing on course grade.”
I sure would be a happy parent plunking down $200,000 for that degree.
The only requirement is that tuition be paid on time.
And everyone will graduate Summa Cum Laude!
Equity. Everyone equally dumm.
This statement says EVERYTHING that is wrong at this school, “this effort is bolstered by the university’s Office of Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice…”
Let them protest, cry, whine, etc. Sounds like these students are majoring in ANTIFA antics. Hope they enjoy themselves, MORONS!
Everyone knows it won't work, but please don't mention it...you would create a hurricane of pain for Woke Snowflakes and cause a stampede to safe spaces and crying rooms.
“I’ll never hire any of these students in my company.”
If this is what US schools become, maybe I’ll reconsider my opposition to Sen. Mike Lee’s plan to greatly increase H-1B’s.
While they whine about supremacists, the inferiorists are determined to create equality.
Being inferior can for most, never be changed.
