What I have read on CNN today regarding the educational and financial drama unfolding at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts somehow does not at all correspond to the cliche about the “highest moral standards of modern American society” that mass media, sanctuaries, and politicians are "driving" into in our uncritical consciousness.
However, judge for yourself:
"This month, New York University, like many colleges and universities across the country, announced it would transfer to remote classes as the coronavirus epidemic spreads.
For students at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, though, the situation presented a challenge. Without performance and rehearsal space, voice lessons and other necessary aspects of art school, could students really get the education they had expected?
Senior drama student Emma Hoersdig -- who has been doing scenes over Zoom, where she says there's "still a disconnect" -- put it this way to CNN: "It isn't the education we paid for."
While there will be prorated refunds for housing and dining for students living in dorms, Hoersdig and other students have called for some sort of tuition reimbursement for the spring 2020 term.
After conversations among peers, Hoersdig started a Facebook advocating for reimbursement, and it's garnered more than 800 members. More than 3,000 have signed an online Change.org petition, too.

There are TWO moralities in The New Economy, which replaced the "circle of virtue" after the "Rise of the Bosses":
- one, glamorous, in the window of the country,
and another
- in our very often disgusting reality.

These NYU students want tuition reimbursement. Their dean said no refunds, offering a dance video of herself instead
Students at Tisch School of the Arts want their tuition reimbursed, after the school moved to remote teaching, eliminating access to studios, performance space and other art school necessities.
