Last semester, NYU undergraduate Sara Ackerman was given an assignment by to visit Occupy Wall Street and turn in an ethnography of what was going on down in Zuccotti Park. This did not sit right with Sara. Mingle with “criminals, drug addicts, mentally ill people, rapist, and paranoid schizophrenics”? The fuck she would, and Ackerman told her professor, Caitlin Zaloom, as much, expressing serious “discomfort with the assignment for legal, academic, ethical, moral, and safety reasons” and asking for “an alternative via her private office hours, in-class requests and emails to her NYU email account.” When Zaloom denied the request, Ackerman had no choice but to head down to OWS, not just because it was required for the class, but to prove a point. She went, she says, with “two other young girls, who are quite attractive and don’t look particularly fit enough to take on a potential predator, rapist, paranoid schizophrenic, etc, just to see if I was being as melodramtic as Professor Zaloom made me feel I was.” She wasn’t.
In fact, she left the park “feeling as though I had escaped an extremely dangerous– and even, life-threatening, situation.” Ackerman never ended up turning in the assignment, she was, she claims, treated poorly by a graduate assistant and Professor Zaloom for the rest of the semester and earlier this week, she decided people needed to be held accountable.
On Wednesday, she waited at the library in “a last-ditch effort to convince [NYU President John Sexton] to deal with Professor Zaloom via forcing her to resign, or firing her” and instead of coming to meet her, Sexton had mental health services deal with Sara, via a forced psych evaluation. Wrong move, NYU. Like Ackerman “told Sergeant Weitzman– the NYU officer who filled out [her] report– if NYU tried to pull the mental health card again, [she] would go very public.” Nobody calls Sara Ackerman crazy, ya hear? Just so everyone knew she meant business, later that night, Ackerman tapped out a series of tremendous emails, 90 percent of which she underlined and bolded, blasting them out to Sexton, Zaloom, her peers at NYU. She also CC’ed the rude graduate student, but lest there be any confusion, doesn’t give a shit what that bitch thinks. They should be read in full, but some of our favorite parts include:
“(note: I am 5’1 and 105 pounds)”
“I was immediately cleared by a social worker at NYU Wellness Exchange after I was evaluated. I have the social worker’s card and she recommended that I call her if NYU ever tries to pull that again.”
“I have an above average GPA, impressive extracurricular activities, an amazing resume with great recommendations/references, and 3 post-graduation offers.”
“Alas, it seems you are not taking me seriously.“
“Other times, I kept my hand up for about 75 seconds– a long time to keep one’s arm raised, by the way.”
“I would like to remind you that I have 2 classmates who are willing to testify…please think carefully…as this may very well go to court.”
And the pièce de résistance:

NYU Student Weaves Elaborate Email-Drama, Beefs With Administration Over OWS And Student Ethics [NYU Local via New York]

This is exceptional work, but would benefit from some subtle references to Professor Zaloom's clear latent homosexuality.
Law school, book rights, TV rights, invites to give lectures, and cap that off with a grand political career.

this girl should ride Metro North more often and get to know the conductors
Sounds like she is a typical, self-entitled NYU student, the President should be used to babysitting children like this by now.
This suspense is killing me.
If this girls hot, shes got a great point. If shes not, she should probably shut up.
Hide yo bunnies.
I'm surprized she didn't make friends at OWS.
Further proves the point that NYU students often have more money than sense.

Excellent work from both Bess and Sara Ackerman – When I'm seriously pissed, and I'm not getting satisfaction, this is exactly the kind of escalation you can expect from me. Difference is, I don't telegraph the next move, but only hint at 'dire consequences' or 'career-ending' litigation, and I would be very specific as to the criminal charges I would be willing to press. Another indication of her youth is that she confronts people personally, and does not get enough (if anything) on hidden camera/microphone or through witnesses. Let's hope that this semi-scoop from Bess gets picked up somewhere: otherwise the friday night news dump may go unnoticed. Tags could use improvement in this area.
This girl is not unhinged at all….just pissed to the very hilt. And how the hell did she end up at NYU? She's clearly a conservative: where do such people go to college these days?
Based on the photo proof that was posted, she is not.
Even homeless hippies aren't willing to put up with that much bullshit in order to get laid.
Yikes. I have many concerns.
Call me.

Little shitheads like this are giving the entire millennial generation a bad rap. I hope Ackerman applies for a job at my firm. I would love to bring her in for an interview.
Did you see the picture? No.
-Get back in the office
Any chance she can get me an "interview" with Eden? She's kinda doing it for me in a good Jewish girl kinda way.

Ruh roh. Looks like this time I messed with the wrong entitled JAP.
This girl's as out of place at NYU as an unchromed dildo in Jeff Gundlach's desk drawer.
ha! she thought those OWS hippies were bad… should have assigned the 'ethnography' of the futures pits… the whiskey and cigar breath, the flatulence…talk about a dangerous and life-threatening situation.
or a newsroom…which would have been even more scary but a help in her future PR career.
I see a crazy cat lady in the make…
Now that's comedy!
Quetiapine Fumarate might be an option. Student is a bit over the top but assignment was also off.
“I would like to take this opportunity to note that I am an incredibly weak math student[...] I truly struggle with mathematical concepts.”
The voice of America!
This just made my day. Sara, thanks for reminding me of why you do not date NYU JAP's.
From Sara's emails:
"I would like to take this opportunity to note that I am an incredibly weak math student"
"I have an above average GPA"
Either NYU has a grade inflation problem, or Sara needs a statistics tutor. Or perhaps both.
I don't mean to be a funsucker, but this smacks of an initial manic breakdown. Rambling emails, disrupted logic, the works. And it's awful that she's had it so publicized.
@Sara
Send those two other girls immediately to my office to see if they are as attractive and helpless as you claim.
- President John Sexton
From page 4 of her email: "I would like to take this opportunity to note that I am an incredibly weak math student…."
Sara, when are you available for an interview? We have an MD opening that we think would be perfect for you. – UBS HR
Actually, visiting OWS might not have been a bad idea. Maybe the professor wanted to show her where majors in anthropology and Middle Eastern Studies/Modern Culture and Media end-up if they can't get a job in academia.
It's awful that this was so publicized. Whoever blasted this email to the entire department and a bunch of other people should really be punished.
"3 post-graduation job offers"
Should be, "had 3 post-graduation job offers"
Other than that, no concerns
If you'd be ashamed of seeing your email published somewhere then you maybe shouldn't send it in the first place
fakeout – looks more hippy here: http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/i/partypictures…
@HBG..SHE published the emails. According to most of the literature I’ve read on this, she personally cc’ed the department and all associated players when she sent the message out. It goes along with her whole goal. She WANTS as many people possible to hear about this.
…just when I thought she couldn't possibly be any dumber, she goes and does something like this… and totally redeems herself!
-Harry
On the one hand, she sounds entitled as f-k and I'm not sure what she expected from a class at NYU (and I say that as an alum).
On the other hand, it probably wasn't that safe for her (a bunch of crimes including rapes did happen down there); she probably would have given another assignment if the prof. wasn't sympathetic to OWS; and, I know this has gone out of style, but it is still at least bit of a school's responsibility to look for her.
More importantly, she's an undergraduate.
Sure, it's stupid, but what is this girl, 18? 19? Yeah, she shouldn't have sent it in the first place, but you really get off at gawking at some kid for doing something stupid when she might not even be 20 yet?
Bess, I love your writing, but posting this was a dirtbag thing to do.
Ah, f-k, typos, oh well.
I agree, free passes for everyone under 20.
– 19 year old rapist
"posting this was a dirtbag thing to do."
Are you insane or one of Sara's parents? This goes far beyond being a stupid 19 year-old. I had some professors I disliked in college but guess what? I didn't act like a self-entitled cunt and demand they be fired. Oh and by the by? This was widely circulated because *Sara* mass emailed it out. Get off your fucking high horse.
"Whoever blasted this email to the entire department and a bunch of other people"
You know that person is Sara, right?
Thanks for coming to comment, Mr. Ackerman!
"a bunch of crimes including rapes did happen down there"
You know the people who got hurt down there were, like, people who were living down there, staying overnight, etc, not going down for all of an hour to do a paper for school, right?
"it is still at least bit of a school's responsibility to look for her. "
It's the school's responsibility to educate students and prepare them for life post-graduation, not kowtow to a self-entitled little cunt who, when she doesn't get exactly what she wants, goes postal and attempts to get someone fired. You need help if you think she deserves sympathy.
As a father of three, let me say that if my child ever pulled a stunt like this I'd be thrilled to have their actions shined a light on in this manner. Ackerman, who clearly thinks this behavior is acceptable, needed a serious fucking wake-up call. Hopefully she's realized that this is completely unacceptable and shape up. And by the way? Given that she's about to graduate in May (and perhaps still has one of her three job offers still available), she's more like 21 or 22, but nice job trying to make her sound like a helpless li'l 18 year old, rather than the deluded gigantic brat of a 21+ year-old she is.
Yeah, because this is completely equivalent to being a rapist.
Where did I defend her actions, guy?
She sounds like an entitled little brat. She deserves to get knocked a bit. She doesn't deserve a bunch of 40-year old guys ragging on her for acting stupid and entitled. Woo hoo, you caused hell for a 20-year old.
You did stupid stuff and I did stupid stuff and, given the background of those who comment here, a lot of the people here (yeah, including me) acted entitled at times. Yeah, this takes it to another level, it doesn't warrant being posted on a finance blog and especially being posted where it's going to follow some kid for her entire life.
Cool, it only happened to people who stayed there for a long amount of time–then I'm sure you'd be fine sending your daughter there.
I don't think she deserves any sympathy for the way she was treated by the school (though I do think she would have gotten an alternative assigned if it wasn't something the professor was sympathetic to). She's a brat.
I do think this doesn't warrant being posted on a finance blog, being posted about a kid who's still an undergraduate, or being posted where it's going to follow a girl for her entire career.
" and especially being posted where it's going to follow some kid for her entire life."
Then maybe, let's see, she shouldn't have SENT IT TO THE ENTIRE DEPARTMENT? Also, did you actually read her email? She has apparently sent all of this to the Post, the Observer and several other papers. She wanted/wants it publicized and now it is.
Can't wait for your response, I'm guessing something along the lines of DB/all the publications she sent her story to have a responsibility to protect this brat?
Seriously, that's your argument? No, it's okay–she's isn't 18 or 19, she's 21!
She sounds entitled as hell. She deserves to get ragged on. She deserves to have some light shined on her. She deserves to have her parents humiliated and informed of this. She doesn't deserve to have something like this following her for the rest of her life. This isn't some kids passing around some photos or a stupid letter that was sent or parents talking about an idiotic thing another person's kid did.
When you post something like this on the internet, it's going to follow that person for her entire life. From now until all eternity, she'll have a much tougher time getting a job, getting into another school, etc. She probably deserves it right now, but not when she's 35-40.
Yes, I would because guess what? Plenty of people I know (males and females included) went down there to check it out and were, shocker, completely fine. Ackerman just didn't want to do the assignment and therefore came up with the bull shit excuse that her life was at risk. If you'll notice, she lists reasons behind fear of physical harm, including OWS apparently going against her "moral and ethical beliefs." Honey, no one asked you to join their cause. Get the fuck over yourself and grow the fuck up.
By the way- I love the notion of you getting on DB for posting this, as though it was a story that never would have gotten out otherwise, when in fact it had already been written about in New York Magazine, NYU's blog, Gawker, and several others. TO SAY NOTHING OF THE FACT THAT ACKERMAN SENT THIS STORY TO VARIOUS NEWS OUTLETS HERSELF.
But please, continue to defend her/deflect this on DB.
http://spoiledrichkids.blogspot.com/: found some of her facebook posts. read the article in full and made sure to double check everything and will begin discussing point by point. The internet is a beautiful thing, It store pieces of data no one can hide from and its always adding to that information. My best quotes from the spoiled rich kids blog article
–> " And I don't subscribe to any political party—that people have interpreted my emails as conservative -leaning when they are merely patriotic….that the days of the psycho-irrational liberals running the media in this country are numbered—"
–>"To reinforce class tensions through the employment of irrationally liberal professors"
–> "To use NYU's alleged 'diversity' and supposed commitment to helping less fortunate students come to learn here, as two of the school's most valuable, and major 'selling points' … shamelessly mistreat those students who pay **full tuition** (and indirectly fund the education of less fortunate populations) is just dumb—I can't say anything else on this point."
"though I do think she would have gotten an alternative assigned if it wasn't something the professor was sympathetic to"
why is that? do you think there are a lot of professors who let people do alternative assignments merely because they don't like the one that was given out?
Let me see, did I defend her actions yet?
Checking…
No.
I'm not defending her. I'm attacking you. You don't have to do both.
She's a brat. Sure, she shouldn't have sent it. Yeah, I would cut her slack. I don't really see how you get a kick of ragging on some undergraduate girl for doing something stupid on a finance blog, much less putting her in a position where this is going to follow her for her entire–yeah, she shouldn't have sent it if she didn't want it to happen (and she clearly wanted this to happen). That's the whole point growing up and still being a kid, though. You don't have the judgment not to do stupid things yet, so you cut them a little slack.
1) Are you really this dense? This girl sent her story to numerous news organizations, all of which have posted on the story, and it's THEIR and not HER fault that all of this will, in your mind, ruin the rest of her life?
2) You know she posted all of this on the internet *herself*, right? She created a Facebook page to tell this story which included all the emails above and is currently slandering both the professor she wants fired and another one who responded on the page.
His argument was the first 90 percent of the comment. The bit about the age was more like a PS. Keep arguing that DB is at fault for posting all this, Mr. Ackerman.
When they think it's unsafe, yeah.
"This isn't some kids passing around some photos or a stupid letter that was sent or parents talking about an idiotic thing another person's kid did. "
You're right- it's much, much worse. And guess what? When people do shitty, shitty things (like demand the firing of a professor b/c they gave out an assignment a student didn't like + make threats to show up to said professor's house– which, yes, Miss Ackerman has said she will do on her Facebook page), sometimes people find out. You should really stop shooting the fucking messenger.
Did any of the kids in the class who went get hurt? That's what I thought. (And you can bet if they had it would have been bullet point number one in Ackerman's 5,000 word email.)
"1) Are you really this dense? This girl sent her story to numerous news organizations, all of which have posted on the story, and it's THEIR and not HER fault that all of this will, in your mind, ruin the rest of her life?"
Yeah, just saw this was posted on New York Magazine also and Gawker–both paragons of journalism–so, since it's done, it's a moot point, but this was about as newsworthy for them as it was here.
You keep saying "but she did…" Yeah, she did do it. She shouldn't have. That's sh-tty judgment. If you're 35, okay post it. If you're an undergraduate in college, 1) it isn't newsworthy, 2) I'd cut her some slack for doing something stupid and not blast it everywhere.
I know a few people who went down there, including me. I don't know anybody who went down there to spend more than an hour in the middle of it (besides safety, they could stand the smell).
Re: She sent it. Yeah, and she's just a kid. She has exceptionally bad judgment, but she's still an undergraduate, so she deserves some slack. You are right, though, I just saw it was posted elsewhere, so as far as this doing further damage, moot point.
Just so we're clear, at what age are we allowed to hold people accountable for their actions? Since, according to you, we can't do it at 21/22 and about to graduate and enter the workforce, when is it okay? 25? 30?
Last I checked, this girl is legal to buy booze, go fight in Iraq and do anything else she'd like short of renting a car. She's 3 months away from taking a job at one of three companies (if they'll still have her) but in your mind we should treat her like a child.
Any new org [and yeah, NYMag actually is a pretty damn good journalism outfit, as is this one] that gave Ackerman exactly what she wanted (ie the publication of this story) is actually doing her a favor. Someone who is so far gone that she doesn't see the outrageousness of her actions** isn't going to one day realize she's a self-entitled brat who LEAPS over the line of what is considered acceptable, and needs a slap in the face of a wake up call.
And just so you know, you know, Google can in fact remove stories from their cache, should this remain a problem for Ackerman 20 years down the road, as you fear it will (spoiler: it won't).
And you are a curiously angry little bitch who abuses capitalization, can't spell and apparently holds an online degree in fantasy law. I award you no points and God have mercy on your soul.
Clearly the love child of Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly.

Guys,
most of you miss the key points:
1) the girl is likely to have a neurological disorder. I am serious. Don't laugh. If this is the case, then: NYU discriminated her. This is the appalling fact (and if you say "she is crazy", well: you are discriminating her too).
2) The assignment is ridicolous. Nowhere in the world you can impose topics on students. You can teach military affairs, but still a student is free to write his essay on any topic related to the subject: from pacifism to anti-mine campaigns. The professor did not agree and this is a serious misconduct.
3) Even more serious, the professor did not accept dissenting views in the class. This is just not acceptable and – unfortunately – a very common practice in anthropology, sociology and sometimes also politics department.
4) Finally, the behaviour of the professor is offensive: the student's opinion turned into "disturbances".
The girl may have neurological problems. However, NYU has a serious academic credentials issue.
He actually holds a degree in Bird law, not fantasy law.
Mingle with “criminals, drug addicts, mentally ill people, rapist, and paranoid schizophrenics"?
Wait was the assignment to visit OWS or interview at Morgan Stanley?
So they "discriminated her," huh? Please kill yourself.
"Nowhere in the world you can impose topics on students."
are you retarded? have you ever…attended a school?
the last person on that link deserves notice – horrible parents
You're a moron.
sees that NYU has a serious academic credentials issue
With those looks and degrees in English and American Lit… She will probably be at OWS v2.0.
-idhititaftersevenvodkasodas
You're joking, right? If you're teaching military affairs, in particular the role of pacifism in ending the Vietnam war, you wouldn't let the student bully you into accepting a paper on the dramatic role of the ghost in Hamlet, nor on the influence of economic sanctions in the lead up to world war II. She could have written her ethnography on whatever she wanted, but if it didn't satisfy the assignment requirements then it wasn't going to be marked by the professor. There's no academic misconduct here.
I think that was the point….
God that's awful. Those two pictures are like when Coakley does that thing with his hands in Hall Pass: hot, not, hot, not.
“criminals, drug addicts, mentally ill people, rapist, and paranoid schizophrenics”
Am I missing something, or is that an ethnography of OWS right there? Fill that out to a few paragraphs, photoshop her face into some pictures with dancing hippies, and submit it all in a nice-looking folder and she's done, right?
I like the cut of your jib. Call me. Better yet, email me.
- Mike
Coulda done the assignment just surfing twitter for a couple hours, mix in some paraphrasing from news articles, make some shit up wholesale, look over your neighbor's shoulder, and boom: a standard undergraduate ethnography paper. She's got her priorities fucked up if she didn't just phone this one in.
Pathetic. Trying to ruin someone's life over an assignment. Been down to ows a few times and I'm a girl. Never once did I feel unsafe. Ridiculous. Spoiled rich white girl.
Good god, that is a disturbing image. Even rapists and schizophrenics have access to porn.
To all the people who think Bess hung this girl out to dry: Sara personally leaked this story directly to Bess and requested she publish it. She acknowledges this directly on her FB page. You can see a screencap at this link:
http://spoiledrichkids.blogspot.com/2012/01/blog-…
Since when does being an undergraduate / under 20 years old mean you should get a break in any way? Sometimes in life you make your bed and you have to sleep in it. Why shouldn't the kid who's NOT a douchebag, entitled up the ass bitch get a job over this retard.
Think of it this way – she's getting a nice life lesson, the hard way. Not always a bad thing.
Please explain why the hell being an undergraduate entitles one to slack? You're a goddamn adult, act like one or bear the consequences.
Her actions are a reflection of her personality and douchebaggery. It's fair for an employer to have this insight. Who would want to work with / be burdened with someone like this. DB is doing a service to the nation by pushing this story.
I'll go toe-to-toe on Bird Law with you right now, see who comes out on top.
"To all the people"
FYI, only one person, i.e. the dude above who got his ass handed to him every time he commented, thinks that.
I wish I could +1 this article infinitely.
So ridicolous….four loko-ous.
Rather what I was thinking.
The "there" we're all referring to is fucking lower Manhattan, during the day, when it's swarming with cops. You make it sound like the teacher sent her to South Central LA wearing red bandanas and a MS-13 gang tattoo. Worst case, she spills her latte while navigating the crowds of Jackson Browne lovers and empathy tables.
We have a cubicle ready to go…
- UBS HR
HA did you even read the emails and see how she was completely out to lunch? The Professor explained to her that the assignment could include her observations, whatever they may be, and the point was to reflect on her own subjectivity, which is the lesson being taught when you learn intro level concepts such as Ethnography. Where does she have the right to make such threats to administration? They gave her other options but she was so enraged and wanted the Professors job over some misgiving she felt she got in class. Wake up call, in University you have to debate your opinions with evidence to back it up, not by screaming at your classmates and telling them they are dumb and wrong (as you can see from her messages if you read them). Kids are paying to learn not hear Ms. Trollface's diatribe every class.
guise, i think it was a joke!
Glad to see the people you "know" form a sizable demographic of people "who went down there to spend more than an hour in the middle of it".
Please get off the island, as it is far too dangerous for you. Broadway and 7th have been the site of many crimes throughout history, including rape, murder, theft and assault.
What would justify her getting to taken an alternative assignment? Her MAJOR is about learning/studying people who are different. If she can't handle a TINY difference (and we're not asking her to take a 3 month mission to Haiti, are we?) then she isn't really cut out for her major.
If I was NYU, I'd be hesitant to award her any kind of degree, based upon her demonstrated incompetence.
She is knocking LIFE out of the park today…. Touch em all Ms. Ackerman…. this is what it feels like to WIN!
- Rod Blagojevich
If the girl has a neurological disorder, she has been clearly discriminated.
As of the topic: I have always attended classes where a paper was compulsory, but on a topic to agree with the professor. Never heard of topics decided by the professors, at least in serious universities, like NYU should be.
Bill Ackman should have raised his daughter better than this… He needs to have a talk with her.
- LEH Fund of Funds
Just a kid? Legally recognised as an adult, you mean. Would she be fair game if she was a 21-year-old saying this crap? How about 25? Because adults act like entitled assholes all the damn time. People younger than Sara act more mature, as well.
Hmm. I can't help but think that awarding assholes slack because "he/she's just a kid" is exactly the sort of attitude that fosters these behaviours. Right now she hasn't even considered the possibility that she is wrong, awarding her slack won't help with that. She -deserves- to face the critcism and maybe work towards reviewing her own actions and thinking about how much she is f-king herself over, because once she graduates she's definitely not going to be awarded any slack whatsoever. So yeah, criticism is in her best interests, it will prepare her for the real world.
Oh yes, of course. The situation all boils down to her gender and her lack of sex. Fucking BRILLIANT deduction.
Sexist bullshit comments like this are worse than anything Sara pulled.
"However, NYU has a serious academic credentials issue. "
Of course they do, I realized that the first time and last time I hired a kid straight out of NYU. If an alum is a few years out of school and has proven themselves I will interview them for the right opening, but if I have an entry level opening I will overlook any resume that mentions NYU
Take a look at this girl's facebook wall. seriously, she might actually be crazy.
the overall premise, though, that you can get a professor to give you a "special" assignment b/c you don't like the one given to you, then throw a fit and demand they get fired when you don't get your way is classic Veruca Salt behavior. "Daddy, fire that lady! She tried to make me eat peas for dinner! I HATE peas and she wouldn't make me anything else! How DARE she?!?" it's mostly classist- i'm sure she grew up SUPER rich and incredibly entitled. BUT there's also another factor related to helicopter parenting and this emphasis on every kid being "special" and "deserving" and never having to suffer disappoint that's killing an entire generation of kids, just ruining them for life in the real world.
i was in college less than a decade ago and got assignments i hated all the time. we all did & when that happened, it was generally understood you did 1 of 3 things: 1) just grit your teeth & do it. 2) cheat or do a half assed job using a classmate's research /internet article, etc. 3) don't do it at all & either eat the F or drop the class. now- there's kids like sara & i just don't get it. you pay these people egregious amounts of cash to teach you, to give you assignments intended to expand your brain. if you knew what assignments would best do that on your own, you wouldn't need to go to college and spend insane amounts of cash.
in conclusion, i would suggest to this child that she just needs to drop her butt out and be pompous in the apartment mommy and daddy bought for her, in the co-op/job they will get her after school, enjoy her trust fund and stfu
Also, if she needs accommodations because of a disorder, she has to provide documentation. There's a system for that largely because of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Her problem now is that she's not open to the idea that she has some kind of disorder that could likely be diagnosed many different ways.
Instructors at colleges and universities everywhere regularly impose topics on students. Among other reasons, it's one of the best ways to prevent plagiarism.
what a nutjob. she's the epitome of a current-day college student. Hope for her sake she never leaves it.
Shut up, sara. You don't have to go to NYU. It's a private school not receiving funds from the government. It can do whatever the fuck it please. I love NYU.
she DID get an alternative assignment, to talk to NYPD about OWS, she didn't do that one either.
Wait, really?
You are telling me that if a professor gives you an assignment where you FEAR FOR YOUR SAFETY that you don't have a right to find a reasonable accommodation?
The girl is (understandably) pissed off at the lack of responsiveness shown by her professor and NYU administration and the unfair treatment of professor for expressing dissent.
Zaloom could get so much dick.
This student should not be in journalism. Journalism is a noble profession where people risk their lives daily. No one is saying that this person had to go into a situation deemed dangerous, but there are safer jobs out there.
The faculty did her a favor. She needs out of journalism.
I hope that's not how the world views college students. I'm in college, and I reported there at 2:00am. I've seen entire families there.
ha ha ha.
