[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
[edit] unexplained acronym
What does D-NE stand for after Bob Kerrey's name? John Vandenberg 04:49, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- it refers to Bob Kerrey's political history as a Democratic senator from Nebraska. Cuffeparade 06:13, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
-
- Is there an article on wikipedia that describes this notation in more detail? i.e., I have a few questions on the specifics of this, e.g. what if Bob was to become a senator for another region; would both be listed? I've seen this notation is in wide use on WP; I'm concerned that others from outside America will also scratch there heads at this one, esp. the two letter state codes.

- Not sure if there is a relevant WP article referring to this practice, but it is standard in American newspaper style guides. To be honest I'm not entirely sure if it is commonly used to identify retired senators, which perhaps could clear up the necessity of using it in this case, but certainly for serving senators it is a standard style notation.

[edit] The New School in media citation flag
I am hoping for some clarification from the editor who added a fact tag to the paragraph on Jean Rohe's speech at the 2006 commencement. Is the citation required to provide sufficient evidence that she said that McCain doesn't represent the university, or that she said anything at all? If it's the former, then the previous 3 citations in that section appear to speak towards that. If it's the latter, I'll gladly dig up the relevant citations - I know she wrote a long (some might say long-winded) message on the Huffington Post immediately after the fact which should be satisfactory, and there are a number of other outlets that wrote on her speech in the week that followed, turning her into something of a 15 minute 'blogebrity'.
