<p>My chances of getting accepted into NYU are pretty low … so thanks to this absurd protest, at least now I won’t feel bad when the rejection letter arrives in about five weeks. :-)</p>
<p>If my kid got suspended for participating in this I would be ****ed (at the kid)</p>
<p>These students:</p>
<p>Barricaded the dining hall with tables/chairs/etc.
Broke into a locked balcony - tresspassing
Assaulted a female security guard who was taken out on a stretcher
Demand scholarships for students in Gaza - RIDICULOUS. Yes, kids in Gaza are suffering - same with every other 3rd world situation. Most Americans can’t afford NYU as well, what about us?</p>
<p>I do support budget disclosure, that much I agree with. But these kids need to realize that they’re paying to go to a university and get an education. They’re legally not entitled to many of their demands, and they didn’t have to resort to violence or tresspassing. No, it is not your right to be on the Board of Trustees. As an NYU student, I’m ashamed to be associated with these kids - I’d just like to point out they are a minority and most students don’t support them. Just another reason to add to my already lengthy list on why I want to transfer out of here.</p>
<p>NYU is expensive, yes, we all knew that before we got here. This is like buying a Mercedes and then protesting over how expensive it is. You can get a good education at any university, not just this one. I support their right to protest, but they went over the top and resorted to illegal stuff.</p>
<p>As a current student at NYU, I have to say EVERYONE on this campus thinks that Take Back NYU is the most ridiculous, pathetic excuse for a protest we have ever seen. It’s laughable. It actually makes me angry that these idiots project a terrible image on NYU. I absolutely hate them.</p>
<p>First of all, NYU is not state school. NYU, like all other private schools, is a BUSINESS. You cannot complain about tuition if you go here–bottom line. Its called a private university. Look it up.</p>
<p>They want NYU to publish its endowment and how much it pays its professors? They want to make Bobst a public library? They want students to determine what to do with NYU’s money? Where these kids tripping balls when they wrote these demands?!? Honestly, the fact that people this stupid go to my school makes my skin crawl, I hope they all get expelled at some point (even though NYU has just suspended them). </p>
<p>These hipster wanna be hippie ****s ruined our dining hall to stage a “protest” that is counter productive. They clearly are not the true socialists and hippies that they claim to be, or else they wouldnt be attending A PRIVATE UNIVERSITY. Can’t white privileged kids think of something else more productive to protest?</p>
<p>So glad we have our dearest Kimmel back and that these morons ate their words at the end of the day. </p>
<p>To all applicants/prospective students: I promise you, these imbeciles are IN NO WAY a reflection of our student body. Don’t pass any judgements on NYU just because a few complete morons created an unnecessary spectacle.</p>
