Syracuse Students To Show Jamie Dimon Their Tits
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.
