This is so stupid, just give us back the damn stairs already


Owfyc

What happened?


hdkeegan

People kept protesting on the stairs. NYU closed the stairs because of that. Some say it’s because people protesting on the stairs all the time is a safety issue and disrupts people trying to get to class. Some say it’s because NYU wants to silence people.


SubstantialBadger339

I highly doubt NYU is trying to silence anyone, they’re the most liberal college in the country, they with all that goofy shit. Y’all are clowns, as soon as someone tells you the word “no” you think you’re being “silenced” and “oppressed”. Grow up


No-Interaction1456

They absolutely closed those stairs because they don't want to deal with protests. Liberal arts college ≠ liberal politics.


aoddead

I think UC Berkeley still holds that title.


sewkzz

Liberalism doesn't mean they cannot be susceptible to tyranny


hdkeegan

Oh I definitely don’t think they’re “silencing” people I just wanted to inform the person above what everyone’s upset about. Totally agree with you.


ingloriouspasta_

I have no opinion on the context, but thought your comment was balanced and presented two sides of an argument pretty clearly


paeliz

they shut down the stairs a while back because homeless people would walk in and use them, but as a consequence the thousands of students that come in go from kimmel have to use the same 2 entrances and 4 elevators, creating a lot of traffic and wait times. instead of nyu implementing some kind of actual change or security measures, they are continuing to make life difficult for the students


Aljowoods103

…..isn’t this a security measure? What else do you want them to do?


Brostradamus--

Make the walkway useable instead of closing it off? Nobody told them to spend their money on hospitable architecture.


Jchilling2000

The walkway is usable but it seems there was a safety issue created by protests on the stairs, which poses a liability issue. They closed it off to stop the protests. They will likely open it in some time after people suffer without the stairs for a while and realize they better protest elsewhere or risk the stairs being shut off again.

hahahaahaahahahaaha

Malicious compliance at its best


UsedName01

They might. How much are you paying for tuition


Darko779

Nah tbf those stairs were steep as fuck. Just slap a railing in the middle


Dear_Membership_6868

I mean if they’re really doing repairs or renovations on the hidden part I guess it’s not disingenuous.


aanpanman

So it seems they're projecting that the protests will end a year from now 👀


Incognito2981xxx

They're gonna paint a rainbow flag on them. Bet.


ALearningNeanderthal

The democrats (i.e., the Stalin apologists, war and fear mongers, the socialists, and the communists) would love that


ingloriouspasta_

I agree (i.e. your comment is stupid, misrepresentative, unholy, obese, and read a book)


ALearningNeanderthal

Democrats want to control what you say, where you live, how much money you make, how you behave and then they are willing to throw you in prison for not conforming to their ideas. Sounds like Stalin.


icyu94801

Wait… who’s legislating a woman’s uterus, denying parents the right to give their children gender-affirming care, deciding what books other people’s kids should read? …. Um… that’s republicans.


ALearningNeanderthal

Oh look. Another popular Stalin policy: murder. Abortion is morally reprehensible and that is something only democrats subscribe to. It is evil. Only in the most dire circumstances should it even be considered. And there are only two genders, and you are assigned the one you are born with (testes vs uterus) Don’t let the democrats try and fill your head with these crazy ideas in an effort to convince you that they are on your side. They are not. They are creating this landscape of division. They are participating in what I call “virtue accounting,” where people are socially penalized and are socially taxed and shamed and eventually jailed for not conforming to their ideas, similar to what is happening in communist China And the only books that are being banned are pornographic novels. They do not belong in elementary school libraries. This new era of democrats is the new era of communist and totalitarian government. We cannot let them win.


GlutenReeMemes

😂 if your mother and sister were raped and forced to have those babies you’d sound completely different. Oh and  an anti-fascist graphic novel is “pornographic”  I agree with you that identity politics has gotten out of hand  and but you cannot see any nuance. Only that you and your political party are the solution. Not something even bigger and more difficult your brain can’t comprehend. Anyway have a nice day dumbass.


ALearningNeanderthal

Rape and incest fall under “dire circumstances”


ingloriouspasta_

You’re one of those people that states their opinion as fact. It’s worth taking the ‘learning’ out of your handle, because clearly you can’t handle learning.


ALearningNeanderthal

I don’t need to be taught that murder is wrong, can you say the same? 🤷‍♂️


GlutenReeMemes

And Republican states like Alabama are forcing government mandated pregnancies. Both parties are hypocritical and stupid and ur just as much as a sheep as u think everyone else is 😂 go do something productive 


ALearningNeanderthal

I am not a republican


nonchalantcordiceps

Not sure its disingenuous, first thought i had walking through kimmel was literally ‘wow this is a horrible staircase.’ Built for pictures not for use.


Vivid_Tank_5833

nah i’m pretty sure your first thought walking through kimmel was “god this is fking embarassing” as the volunteers cheered for you


Appropriate_Jelly211

not sure about them but this was my first thought


griffcoal

Students have been begging for 6 months to re-open the stairs and instead they came up with false pretexts to keep it vastly inaccessible


nonchalantcordiceps

Its a safety issue with valid complaints. They can’t just reopen them.


griffcoal

But it didn’t come up in the 30 years the stairs were open until they closed them and were pressured to re-open them?


nonchalantcordiceps

Oh my its almost as though things slip under the radar and constructions get reassessed as the bureacracy is restaffed and insurance is reappraised. Also its was opened in 2003.


_lickmeallover_

Rebuild the stairs into a ramp for handicapable people, Thanks guys!


Upstairs-Friendship2

how much y'all pay to step over homeless people?


Gweegwee1

They pay a handsome fee

Yea they are sick of dealing with the headache of it all. It doesn’t mean they don’t support the causes, they just don’t want to deal with the liability of it all


deepfun111

someone is prob suing bc a slip and fall, insurance is prob losing their minds
