[edit] Requested move
- Change The New School (United States) back to The New School — On a whim looking up new school (the antithesis of old school) I found User:Anonymous Whistleblower, who appears to attend The New School at West Heath, trying his best to direct traffic to his school's page. In the past, he has created and redirected Newschool, The New school, The new School, and NewSchool to his school page. Now, he has taken a school whose official name is "The New School" and decided to disambiguate it, renaming it The New School (NYC), and, after some coaxing to change it back, to The New School (United States) instead. This has caused many double-redirect headaches and disambiguation headaches that the user refuses to fix. Plus, being the only school whose official name is "The New School", it does not follow Wikipedia standards and leaves many links that were once proper to now point to the disambig page The New School (disambiguation). I volunteer to clean up the redirecting. —Wikibarista 02:09, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] One class
Taking one class offered by a college and making a whole section out of it seems to place undue focus on it. -Willmcw 19:31, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
- No, the whole section is on the New School for Social Research, their graduate program for social science and humanities. Cognition 19:36, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
- Then how come 131 words of your new section is just a cut-and-paste of a class description? -Willmcw 05:53, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Delicious Irony
In 2003, the dialectical materialistic Auto Workers Union synthesized the Hegelian Idealistic administration of the traditionally leftist New School. The bosses of the Auto Workers Union must have been doing their social research.
[edit] Founding
I believe school was originally something of a breakaway from Columbia University. Does anybody have anything on this? - Jmabel | Talk 05:22, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
- When the New School was young several moonlighting Columbia faculty taught there, and perhaps a few even joined full-time. But to call the New School a "breakaway" from Columbia seems unwarranted.
[edit] Chronology
The history of the school, and what appears to be its three names, is simply not immediately clear. Someone who knows it well should fix it up. Unschool 02:00, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Acting program?
Deleting this statement:
A lot of casting directors and other schools/professors are critical of The New School's practicum, as no noteworthy actors have graduated from it.
Not only is it unsupported, it's also poorly worded - "A lot"? What does that mean? Also, considering that the New School's acting program is one year old, it is perhaps not surprising that "no noteworthy actors have graduated from it". This doesn't make the grade, if you will. --Chancemichaels 03:28, 17 October 2006 (UTC)Chancemichaels
