It’s part of their new tactic re: protesting his commencement speech this weekend. Which oughta send a message.
Mariel Fiedler will attend commencement. She will wear her cap and gown. She will walk across the stage. She will revel in the fact that four years of hard work has paid off. And when JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon gets on stage to give his commencement address, she won’t say a word in protest. Instead, she’ll protest his presence in a silent way — by taking off her robe. “I’ll sit there and listen to him, but I won’t be wearing my robe when that happens,” Fiedler said.
Fiedler is one of the students leading the Take Back Commencement movement, which has protested the choice of Dimon as the 2010 Syracuse University and State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry commencement speaker. The students originally wanted the university to remove Dimon and choose another speaker. Realizing that wouldn’t happen, they decided the best way to protest Dimon was by taking off their robes during his speech.

College of Forestry?
Sounds like Mariel did not make it past Super Days and will appeal to JD directly for an IB gig.
She will look back in 5 years and feel like an idiot.
pure. f*cking. dbags.
Can we just nuke them?
Any Ashley DuPre type talent in the Syracuse graduating class?
Just wondering.
I think they should all get copies of Lee Corso’s Orangeman Hat and wear them when JD speaks. At least that might be funny.
I bet if it was Chavez she would bl@w him. These kids today really do not understand how the world works, or what really happened. JPM was the least dirtiest firm.
Boobs.
CFA > Syracuse
I knew you got crazy in Amherst Bess!
The future Cougars of America will be having a meeting during the commencement speech.
That’s the problem with middle-America. Our women are so fat that it is a punishment to see them naked. No wonder that half of CFAs have decided to mate with sheep.
@8 O RLY?
@3 & @8, agreed.
You know, all these kids really managed to do was generate a ton of publicity for JD’s speech that it would never have otherwise gotten… I mean, does anyone really remember a commencement address? From personal experience (at a pretty good small New England college in the mid-90′s) 80% of the seniors were either massively hungover or still drunk. The only thing I recall about our speaker– a United States Senator from a non-New England state– was that he bore a vague resemblance to William McKinley.
uncensored pic please?
“I’ve met a lot of them, but never one I hated
Even if you had thirteen kids and you think they look deflated.”

State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry – isn’t this the target school for Central Park security guards?
@16 those pics are in the members section.
I actually scrolled up thinking this was another compelling Kouwe article…
Big deal. You can see JP Morgan’s boobs every day just by looking in their trading room.
‘oy Bessar, ‘ow big ‘er ya tits, love?
The Druries
See, this is what happens when you let Art History majors believe they can be political. Does JD really care they won’t be wearing robes? Ok let me get this straight, you run a quiet, bullshit protest by taking off your cap and gown. But he still gets the potentially quite large fee for speaking at commencement. The only downside for JD is that he has to be in Syracuse and use small words so that geniuses of Mariel’s caliber can understand what he’s saying.
When I graduated from college, we had some author. Big deal. At least JD is relevant. I hope he blacklists the protestors from ever getting credit at JPM.
@8 Least dirtiest???? Are you kidding? They recruited Guy “The Kickback Kid” Chiarello as CIO for crying out loud. No ethics there at all…
Off topic but what was the fuss over the Druries this morning (per another site)?

she is on facebook, I could do without seeing her rack….
@20 why, considering the headline/intro sound exactly like bess and nothing like zach?
@18 Central park? try prospect park. Cornell Agg school grads end up running the show at Central Park after they get fired from the bronx zoo.
Hank Paulson’s undergraduate degree is in English Literature.
Totally unrelated but truly awesome… and real.

In five years you’ll be applying for jobs at their landscaping companies when the FS industry returns to its mean levels. You should have gone surfing and enjoyed yourself.
@8 JPM the least dirtiest firm. They recruited Guy “The Kickback Kid” Chiarello as CIO. Does that sound ethical to anyone?
Oh god as a young whipper snapper myself, it’s getting increasingly easy to climb the ranks knowing my competition are as worldly educated as Goofey the fucking dog.
Good thing for everyone JD isn’t speaking at Penn things could have gotten ugly, really really ugly…
Bow wow wow yippee yo yippee yea!
Wouldn’t it be easier to just skip the thing and sit in a pub? It’s not like you can’t pick up your diploma some other time/place.
I hope JD starts his speech with “Tits or GTFO”.
@36 awesome
I told Ken Lewis he’d regret flashing the crowd at the Creed concert a few years back. But he didn’t listen. If those photos ever get out, I fear for us all.
@36 are you a Farker?
@29 that’s because Hank Paulson went to Dartmouth. They don’t have ‘business’ majors like the one you were in at Hofstra. Ask your MD’s boss, he’ll tell you all about it.
@29 – English Literature? Are you kidding me??? They recruited Guy “The Kickback Kid” Chiarello as CIO for crying out loud.
ahahahaha awesome Chard
@40…STFU….the last time you used “MD” and “Hofstra” in a paragraph you were writing a note to the ER receptionist at 3:00 am explaining how you needed to see a doctor and surmising how you got that burning sensation when you pee.
Syracuse should 100% not award this f*cktard a diploma. Remedial Economics classes for her and all of her kind or GTFO.

Public radio twit, stfu
woa, she interned at Channel 13. that must be where i recognize her from. thanks Anal
@44 An English major, yet her LinkedIn profile starts with a semi-coherent run-on sentence. Nice.
We at Dartmouth graduate the biggest schmucks in the world, Timmy K, Hanky P, Danny W, and Teddy M.
Titties in my face, titties in my face.
when will these kids realize no one cares about their protests
Flashing ur boobs is one way to make it in life!
You mean Dimon gets to check out dudes' junk and Jewish girls' racks? Why couldn't they have chosen me to speak? I'm available.
