Students at the private New York City arts school The New School (TNS) are continuing to occupy a campus building until instructors agree to administer As for the semester, according to their list of demands.
 
The students began the occupation of the TNS University Center on Dec. 8 to support faculty members who were on strike for more than 3 weeks for higher wages and better healthcare, according to the Instagram account New School Occupied. Despite the strike ending on Dec. 10, the occupants published a new set of demands that day which included A’s for all students, the resignation of school leadership and the disbandment of the Board of Trustees.

“We demand that every student receives a final course grade of A as well as the removal of I/Z grades for the Fall 2022 semester,” the demand letter read. “Attendance shall have no bearing on course grade.”

The students also endorsed revising the school structure to favor “community self-governance” rather than through traditional leadership after over 430 students, staff, faculty and parents voted 421-10 on Dec. 12 to have no confidence in TNS administrators.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Let them occupy the building; turn off the electricity and water and remove any source of food.  They'll leave.  Tell them that they will all receiving a failing grade for trying to bribe professors for a grade other than that which they deserve.

Once the students leave, lock the doors.  No students to teach. 

This is a private school, let the 'owners' of the school decide the rules.

So drag their little entitled socialist butt out and throw them and their possessions off campus with the next step having them arrested for trespassing. Geez when are these university presidents going to grow some balls! For every professor that quits there will be ten applying and there is a never ending line of idiots clamoring to go into debt for a degree that is all but worthless.

There's nuthin' new at "The New School".
It's been leftist since the beginning.

Let the kids have the place.
Give 'em all "A's".

Then see how many firms are willing to hire them once they see "New School" on the resume...

Close. Offer them the opportunity to leave, in fact, invite them to do so, informing them that all services to the building will be cut. Wait 12 hours. Then secure the building, nothing in or out and wait a few days.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C S Lewis
