Guess I didn’t realize the old bag was still vertical.
The New School is 100% neo-marxist.
There’s not a single administrator and certainly professor there who is not a fully brain-washed race-mongering, gender-spewing marxist ideologue.
The faster this cancer disappears, the better
Excuse me, I’m making a popcorn run...... anytime Marxists and progressives get hit in the face with reality is a very entertaining time. I love it when the Proletariat face the stark reality of their leaders lifestyle......... and that their leader refuse to sacrifice for the good of the cause!
or, sell Danna
We can only hope it fails miserably!
Don’t they already have “professional” financial advisors? Maybe the first order of business would be to fire those already hired to work on budgets and fundraising.
Apparently, they are not doing a good job.
They should set up circular firing squads for the staff and sell tickets!
(more revenue + lower expenses)

The New School for Social Research was founded by a group of university professors and intellectuals in 1919 as a modern, progressive, free school where adult students could “seek an unbiased understanding of the existing order, its genesis, growth and present working”. Founders included economist and literary scholar Alvin Johnson, historians Charles A. Beard and James Harvey Robinson, economist Thorstein Veblen, and philosophers Horace M. Kallen and John Dewey. Several founders were former professors at Columbia University.
In October 1917, after Columbia University imposed a loyalty oath to the United States upon the entire faculty and student body, it fired several professors. Charles A. Beard, Professor of Political Science, resigned his professorship at Columbia in protest. His colleague James Harvey Robinson resigned in 1919 to join the faculty at The New School.
The New School plan was to offer the rigorousness of postgraduate education without degree matriculation or degree prerequisites. It was theoretically open to anyone, as the adult division today called Schools of Public Engagement remains. The first classes at the New School took the form of lectures followed by discussions, for larger groups, or as smaller conferences, for “those equipped for specific research”.
Approximately 10,000 students are enrolled in undergraduate and postgraduate programs and disciplines including design, social sciences, music, liberal arts, humanities, architecture, fine arts, design, drama, finance, psychology, and public policy.
The Graduate Faculty of Political and Social Science was founded in 1933 as the University in Exile for scholars who had been dismissed from teaching positions by the Italian fascists under Mussolini or had to flee Hitler’s Nazi Germany. The University in Exile was initially founded by the director of the New School, Alvin Johnson, through the financial contributions of Hiram Halle and the Rockefeller Foundation. The University in Exile and its subsequent incarnations have been the intellectual heart of the New School.
Between 1940 and 1949, The New School included the “Dramatic Workshop,” a groundbreaking theater education program and predecessor of School of Drama that was founded by German emigrant theatre director Erwin Piscator. Important acting teachers during this period were Stella Adler and Elia Kazan. Among the famous students of the Dramatic Workshop were Beatrice Arthur, Harry Belafonte, Marlon Brando, Tony Curtis, Ben Gazzara, Michael V. Gazzo, Rod Steiger, Elaine Stritch, Shelley Winters and Tennessee Williams.
I attended The New School for Social Research for only a year, but what a year it was. The school and New York itself had become a sanctuary for hundreds of extraordinary European Jews who had fled Germany and other countries before and during World War II, and they were enriching the city’s intellectual life with an intensity that has probably never been equaled anywhere during a comparable period of time.
— Marlon Brando, actor
Thirty-three percent of New School students are international, with 112 foreign countries being represented at the university. U.S. students come from all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Forty-three percent of them are people of color, and 5% of American students identify as more than one race. Of the entire student population, 63% receive financial aid, and 17% study abroad before graduating.
Several of the university buildings are New York City designated landmarks. Among these is the egg-shaped Tishman Auditorium, an interior landmark. It was designed by architect Joseph Urban [Mar-a-Lago], along with the entirety of The New School’s 66 West 12th Street building, the last major project Urban designed.
In 1931 the New School commissioned two mural cycles: José Clemente Orozco’s “A Call for Revolution” and “Universal Brotherhood” and Thomas Hart Benton’s epic America Today.[citation needed] The New School Art Collection was established in 1960 with a grant from the Albert A. List Foundation. The collection, now grown to approximately 1,800 postwar and contemporary works of art, includes examples in almost all media. Parts of it are exhibited throughout the campus. Notable artists such as Andy Warhol, Kara Walker, Richard Serra, and Sol LeWitt all have pieces displayed in New School’s academic buildings.
Historically, The New School has been associated with leftist politics, campus activism, civic engagement, and social change. It is a “Periclean University”, or member Project Pericles, meaning that it teaches “education for social responsibility and participatory citizenship as an essential part of their educational programs, in the classroom, on the campus, and in the community”. The New School is one of nine American universities to be inducted into Ashoka’s “Changemaker” consortium for social entrepreneurship.

The answer for all budget shortfalls for progressives is to simply spend more. Problem solved/s
“Jacques Derrida”
Did not know this! Thought he was entirely France’s fault.
Of course. They are always looking for other people's money.
In 2020 the school chopped top leadership salaries by 12 to 15%, cut down on library subscriptions, extended voluntary separation packages to employees and laid off 122 predominantly lower-level staffers.
Probably from the custodial staff.
Donna Shalala has a town house? A doll house would be more fitting.
“Students demand”
They need an education:
Students respectfully request...
The New School woke up to a harsh reality during the pandemic: operating a private university in lower Manhattan is quite expensive.
Go woke. Go broke.
The bright side of our current misery is the left is going bankrupt.
Wouldn’t bring much because everything is monkey-size.
Protests are ongoing. In April, a Rally Against Austerity movement, organized by students and faculty, declared: “No tuition hikes. No pay cuts. No layoffs.”
Of Course! That would require retrospection. H/T to Rush Limbaugh (we are not worthy): Being liberal means never having to say you are sorry.
