The Crazy Department-Wide Emails That Everyone at NYU Is Talking About
Max Read · 01/06/12 04:40PMAt around 3:17 on Wednesday morning, every student in NYU's Department of Social and Cultural Analysis received a bizarre "open letter" to NYU President John Sexton, from a student who claimed she'd been "forced" to do an ethnographic assignment on Occupy Wall Street.
