To discourage these sorts of incidents from happening, NYU (and Columbia) should make the humanities curricula harder. This will: a) Ensure these radical nutjobs have less time on their hands for crap like this, and will instead spend their weekends doing homework. b) Ensure fewer radical nutjobs get into competitive schools. c) Ensure fewer people are humanities majors and actually try doing something worthwhile in their lives. I assumed here of course that Science, Math and Engg kids would never engage in a form of protest as misguided as this. Now hear me out.

If you want to make a difference, study hard at university and go into public policy, medicine, or something altruistic...don't threaten to starve yourself and kick and scream like a resentful teenager or toddler.

Amazing. What did you do then? Oh, nothing, because your shenanigans were nothing but a farce. Now let me ask you. Are you upset a police officer maced someone? You did just say you took over W.4th. Instead of better updating bwog, how about good job in realizing what a joke this whole thing is. #28, I vote we protest the administration's choice of plantings in campus walk.
