Not all of the world is the USA. I live in Saskatchewan, one of the shittiest provinces in Canada. But I know that many other places in Canada are pretty awesome. I also know other places are worse than Saskatchewan outside of Canada. The same applies to the US on a global scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He generally doesn't make videos anymore. He might make one video a year. He does still make music, but it is more serious indie stuff that I don't listen to. He was also in some show I never watched as a character named taco.

Chris- Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 That dean is hilariously tone deaf, but seriously, fuck them kids. Half my spring semester senior year was gone because a Scottish separatist called in over 100 bomb threats on campus, and we didn't even have the opportunity to do online classes, just term papers.

Because for all our shitiness, humans always over come. We lie, cheat, steal, and abuse one another and there is that side of mankind, but we also dream and continue to evolve and reach for greater things. Music, culture, the sciences, friendships and love, these count too! There is plenty of good in the world, it just sits along side plenty of bad. Earth is ever the grab bag my friend!

If you still have access to the instruction then you are getting exactly what you paid for. No you don't. You pay for equipment fees and first year students are required to play for a meal plan that they ARE NOT USING. I know this because my niece is in her first year of school and I am helping to pay her tuition. I don't know where you went to school or what you went to school for, but online classes at NYU for the arts are not the same as taking in person classes and it isn't the same value. The only reason I went to film school was for access to equipment I wouldn't have had access to otherwise. That's it. Nowadays for film students at least, the cost barrier for equipment isn't as prohibitive as it was when I was in school so buying a camera and learning on your own may make more sense than going to a four year college, but paying for college involves a lot more than simply "paying for instruction" especially for first years students and some of those fees and costs should be refunded if students are forced to take online courses.

I’m talking purely about tuition; for stuff like meal plans, activity fees, etc., I certainly think it’s reasonable to expect that money back.

Well that's what the kids in that article are talking about so... and BTW it's not just that school. Another friend told me his son's school isn't giving refunds for his room and board even though they sent the kid home. THAT'S what people are talking about here and it's going to be an issue for these schools moving forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wasn’t an article, just the tweet and your comment saying they wanted a refund since they weren’t getting what they paid for because the classes were online now. If their contention is that there are a bunch of ancillary fees to attend but that they no longer have access to and the school won’t refund those things, sure, that’s fair.

skillzdadirecta Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Here is the article I got the Tweet from which further explains what the students are talking about... which I thought would be self evident since most of us here went to college and paid a lot of these fees https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/nyu-tischs-students-want-tuition-fee-back-amid-coronavirus-shutdown-dean-responds-with-dance-video/2346626/?fbclid=IwAR1ApQDr4uKIYxE-WGswQhTa_fKqdHUzIo-AuLLTY4pfKXjPUn21dHFDe14 Quote A year's tuition at Tisch costs about $58,552 (it's arguably a lot more when you consider other fees) and most of the students at the private and prestigious art school require hands-on education. The school informed students that it would not be reimbursing tuition fees even though they were forced to move to remote learning due to the spread of COVID-19 "I am personally upset that we are being denied access to this equipment and facilities and still being charged the same amount for what is admittedly by the university a lower quality education," Price said Quote Students have started an online petition to call for partial tuition reimbursement which now has over 2,200 signatures and the situation has gotten the attention of some famous alumni. So there you go. BTW NYU is one of the largest owners of Real Estate in Manhattan... they can easily afford to refund some of these kids' money.

Chairslinger Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 102 year old Italian woman recovers from the Corona virus. Quote Doctors say her case impressed them so much that they decided to study it deeper. "We got serological samples, she is the first patient we know that might have gone through the ‘Spanish flu’ since she was born in 1917," Sicbaldi explained, referring to the 1918/1919 flu pandemic that killed at least 50 million people worldwide, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point about the real estate ownership is that NYU is VERY wealthy and can afford to partially refund some of these students fees. 11 minutes ago, Chairslinger said: 102 year old Italian woman recovers from the Corona virus.
