    Someone would have to bring a legal case to them first, right? And even if they did, a SC Judge can overturn that.

  • And that's why my "necessary life skill" cooking lifehack is to just know that if you cook something big enough, it'll last you enough portions for two or three days without that much extra cooking work. And you'll only have to clean the cooking pot half (or one third) of the time.

  • NYU Demands Law Students Renounce Protests or Be Barred from Sitting Final Exams

  • Masks don't really provide anonimity (you'd need to accompany with anti-IR glasses to protect yourself from iris scans, and probably prostethics for your face as well as your legs to avoid gait recognition from camera footage), and they do nothing if you are grabbed by an ICEtard.

    But yeah in the overall, I don't really see a problem with renouncing them "officially" (just strike an X on the signature, you can later claim that that was not your signature and was forced under duress) and participating on the protests anyway. It's not like lawyers are expected to not lie and trick their way out of things under capitalism anyway, so perhaps the students (and the faculty) should consider this as an extra period test.

    Jump

  • What stops the students from renouncing the protests (under duress) and then just getting back into them once they have degrees?

    Probably the fact that if the NYU staffers pushing this are any smart, they'll withhold the degrees for a few weeks (maybe even months) after the exam or until the protests die down anyway. Sure, they're bound to do something incredibly stupid right after, but they've got what they've got.

  • Yet the mob not only punishes for the former, but does it so instance-wide, needlessly tarnishing the reputation of normal users of the instance while the admins moderated that problem on their own.

    Punishing people by transitivity only gets communities so far.
