NYU Abu Dhabi: the story from concept to classroom
(via janestreet)
This is a great piece about NYU’s Abu Dhabi venture that you should read.
But this quote — attributed to NYU President John Sexton — made me laugh:
“In any case, I would be disappointed if our students were not even more committed than the NYU students in New York — and, believe me, they are committed; but I also would be disappointed if our students did not play out their commitment with a sensitivity to the environment.”
I guess John forgot about the time NYU’s College Republicans demonstrated young folks’ commitment to sensitivity with that “Catch the Illegal Immigrant” game.
