In reply to: Ram'98 's message, "I have some questions: Did you hear personally from NYU students who are disappointed? Did you get it second-hand? Or are you just inferring it? If they are definitely disappointed, is it because she's not enough of a "celebrity?" Or is it because they think that having her is a tacit recognition that Princeton is superior to NYU? Would the President of Harvard be good enough for them? How about the Pope? Would Paris Hilton be better?" on Thu April 28, 2005 13:32:50

  • Who cares? If the president of a major ivy league university isn't good enough for these students (or if she gives them status-anxiety because they didn't go an Ivy school), my response would be "Tough!" I'm totally put off by these kids who feel that they're entitled to some "big name" speaker, and who turn up their noses at distinguished scholars and educators? Let them hold their own alternative graduation, and invite whatever speaker(s) they want. (NT) -- JC'68, Thu April 28, 2005 13:51:41
