New School students are also demanding no tuition increase until 2028 and that the university president’s house becomes “communal property”
Students at an elite, private university in New York City are occupying a campus building with the demand that all be given A grades.
The original reason for The New School occupation, which began on December 8, was to support striking faculty members who were lobbying for higher wages and better health care.
Though the faculty strike has since been resolved, a letter of demands now calls for A grades for all students. It says in part: “We demand that every student receives a final course grade of A as well as the removal of I/Z grades for the Fall 2022 semester.” The letter insisted, “Attendance shall have no bearing on course grade.” (According to the New School’s website, an “I” grade is a “temporary incomplete” and a “z” grade is an “unofficial withdrawal.”)
The letter also states that occupying students demand a refund “for the loss of instructional time due to the strike” and that “this tuition refund will be proportional to the duration of the semester during which the strike is in effect.”
Students are also calling for the resignations of the school’s president, provost, vice president and the disbandment of the Board of Trustees. Other demands include a tuition freeze from 2023 to 2028. As reported by The Daily Caller, students are also demanding for the university president’s house “be treated as a communal property.”
Assistant Vice President of Communications and Public Affairs Amy Malsin commented to Fox News Digital on the unfolding situation: “The university supports peaceful free expression by our students, and we are listening closely to all of our students’ concerns.”
She indicated that “faculty retain autonomy about how to conduct and grade their courses.”
There are approximately 10,000 students at New School. Tuition is $26,854 a semester or $51,900 for a full year.
Maybe the university New School should just lock down and close until 2028. These little bastards are guest there and need to be taught as lesson. The tail doesn’t wag the dog, the dog wags the tail.
Lock the doors, turn off all utilities, administratively fail those participating for the semester. Cancel any second semester registrations they made (permit late registration if they’ve emerged timely).
Administration may need to shop online to find a spine.
Democrat Snow Flakes all Indoctrinated like the Hitler Youth !!!!!
MORE democrat BS.
I guarantee there isn’t a SINGLE Republican is their midst. The Republican students are busy doing homework and research to EARN an “A”.
They are also the ones taking engineering courses and physics courses and architectural design. You know, the degrees that actually help you get a good paying job….
NOT “Art History” or “Black Studies”, or “White Racist Resistance” degrees that come with $100,000 in student loans they never intend to pay back.
If I ever caught one of my kids doing stupid sh** like this, the money flow would stop like a spigot turned off and I would personally drive to the college and throw their belongings in the trash. Maybe McDonald’s is hiring, or maybe you could have a few kids you can’t support, but your college days would be OVER.
Democrats?? THEY cheer this dumb crap like their kids just won an Olympic event.
And the gene pool gets weaker by the day.
Just wait until they end up in the real world and get smacked with reality.
Liberal Arts Degree ??
