With the financial crisis showing no signs of letting up anytime soon, even schools like New York University are trying to formulate strategies to deal with the “troubled economic times,” but not everyone approves of their tactics. An incensed reader attending the expensive school sent in this flyer (legible version HERE) being distributed at the student center, encouraging a CUNY education as the cheaper alternative for those that can’t afford NYU. “I think it’s pretty fucked up that NYU can’t give its students decent financial aid even though John Sexton flies to Abu Dhabi every other week and we keep buying new buildings all over the city,” wrote the academic. The flyer detailing their “new In and Of the City financial aid plan” shows a map of the CUNY system, offers a handy chart detailing how much money students can save ($43,183 a year!), and provides this spirited quote from Sexton: (UPDATE: it’s a fake.)
Despite an economy in the shitter, what seems like an endless down streak on Wall Street, and the “Big Three” lobbying hard for a bailout of the auto industry, Mercedes isn’t worried about a shortage of rich people in NYC. The quality car company that builds vehicles people want announced plans to open up a newer and bigger flagship in Manhattan. The 330,000 sq. ft. facility, scheduled to be fully operation by 2011, will be located slightly more uptown on 11th Avenue between 53rd and 54th Streets.
