In Gratitude and Solidarity,

The original idea of the University in Exile, and the New School in general, was to be a safe-haven for academic freedom and scholarship free of oppressive political regimes, and to be a center for critical engagement with important issues of our times. It was known for its deep thinkers, its innovative academics, and its commitment to social and political justice as a bedrock of all other scholarship. This is a call for student action! www.newschoolinexile.com; http://reoccupied.worldpress.com
Let's admit that Bob Kerrey hasn't been all bad, shall we?

Sit and talk with the man rather than shout at him and make demands. He has something you don't; time. How many of you are going to cancel your winter break plans? How many of you will be left come Wednesday...or even Sunday?
I implore you to start to be rational. You got your protest-high. Now get off your horse to talk realistically. Your stock is at an all time high, and with every passing piss-in-a-bottle, it's dropping.
It's killing some of your fellow NSSR graduate students that we can't be there with you. We have other obligations, like our own students at other institutions, that are keeping us busy right now during finals and grading times.
ReplyDeleteWe're watching this thing from around the boroughs in solidarity and with pride.
Alexander ... maybe you should read more about the Banality of Evil.
ReplyDeleteFYI. The phrase was coined at your school.
B -- I am by no means saying that what the protesters stand for is wrong -- in fact, I agree with many of their points (and disagree with some.). I know "The Banality of Evil" well, thanks to the institution I'm proud to call my university.
ReplyDeleteBut the means are hurting other students right now and I merely present in these comments an opposing view in an attempt to create some sort of dialogue which has not happened WITHIN the walls of the school.
Just desire tto say your article is as surprising.
ReplyDeleteThe clarity in your post is simply excellent and i could
assume you’re an expert on this subject.
