Wagner’s urban policy program keeps top spot in US News ranking
NYU’s Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service ranked No.1 in urban policy in the U.S. News and World Report’s analysis of 268 graduate schools nationwide — marking its seventh consecutive year in the leading spot. As a public affairs school, Wagner fell two spots to No. 11 and tied with Arizona State University, Princeton University, the University of Minnesota and the University of Texas, Austin. U.S. News’ rankings for all 12 speciality programs under public affairs — including urban policy, environmental policy and technology management — remained stagnant from last year, after the publication faced an “error” in curating the list of institutions to include on an updated…
Grad student council member holds one-person ‘sit-in’ against election procedures
Graduate Student Council member Danilo Trinidad Perez-Rivera staged a three-hour, one-person “sit-in” outside GSAS dean Lynne Kiorpes’ office on Wednesday, claiming he was unjustly denounced from his elected role as a student senator. Perez-Rivera, a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate at the Graduate School of Arts & Science, said the GSC nullified his election result because more students abstained than voted in the most recent election. He said the GSC has not previously upheld a rule regarding a majority abstained vote, and noted that he was the only candidate who fulfilled the campaign requirements — leaving the position otherwise vacant. The sit-in was staged after GSC adviser Randi Amalfitano did not respond…

Students picket outside Vanderbilt Hall, demand NYU Law cut anti-protest contract
Around 20 students picketed outside Vanderbilt Hall on Monday afternoon, calling on the NYU School of Law to pause its demands for 31 students to contractually pledge to halt protests, following a pro-Palestinian sit-in outside Dean Troy McKenzie’s office last week. The picket, organized by NYU Law Students for Justice in Palestine, featured students and faculty as well as members of the Columbia Law Coalition for a Free Palestine. The protesters, wearing keffiyehs, circled around the entrance of the building while holding signs with phrases like “BAN BOMBS NOT STUDENTS” and chanting “We will march till Gaza’s free.” They also handed out flyers with a number to call and a…
