  • Unexpected Charges Leave Students Distrustful of Courtesy Meals Program
    4 CULTURE 9 OPINION This First-Year Finds Community Courtesy Meals Shouldn’t Come in Cooking at a Price 6 ARTS 10 SPORTS Charly Bliss Comes of Age, Led by Judo at NYU, a Balancing Act Clive Davis Alumna VOLUME LIII | ISSUE 12 MONDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2019 Unexpected Charges Leave Students Distrustful of Courtesy Meals Program Some of those who used the Courtesy Meals Program found funds from their financial aid diverted to covering its cost. By VICTOR PORCELLI News Editor The Courtesy Meals Program, which is supposed to be free, affected some financially vulnerable stu- dents’ aid packages this week, leading to confusion and distrust of the program. The CMP provides students with Dining Dol- lars — and, as of recently, meal swipes — to ensure they don’t go hungry. However, a small group of users received an email from the Office of Financial Aid on Wednesday notifying them that their finan- cial aid packages would be adjusted due to their use of the program. Student government Chairperson and Gallatin se- nior Jakiyah Bradley previously served as a Senator at- Large for food-insecure students. Bradley first learned about the policy change through a constituent, but saw Instagram stories drawing attention to it being widely circulated by students. Bradley said immedi- ately after hearing about students’ financial aid being affected, she brought the issue to administrators who said they would begin working to resolve it. One of the first to post it to their story, Steinhardt senior Elaine Cao had $150 taken out of their work- study to go toward the CMP.

Conventionalized signs of affluence, models of beauty, "educational" articles on topics ranging from the history and significance of ties ot correct behavior at a first-class estaurr ant filled the pages of magazines intended to provide an accelerated course in etiquette, appearance, and appurtenances for Russia's newly wealthy.

    THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY or me, the defi nition of insanity was not “ doing the same thing Fover and over and expecting dif fer ent results.” Instead, it was getting within a few months of graduation and then enrolling as a sophomore at a dif fer ent school, especially when I barely made it out of Blackbriar alive. I hadn’t been to public school since fi fth grade, and nerves clawed at my stomach lining until I tasted extra bile. I can’t believe I’m doing this. Bitter wind blew, cutting through my jacket. As I studied the building, the parking lot was louder and more chaotic than I ex- pected, guys horsing around despite the January chill. Sock hats, rubber bracelets, plastic chokers, people with words on their butts, bright T- shirts, heavy eyeliner, skater boys, people with un- smart phones— I’d forgotten that the world once looked this way. But when I was twelve, I didn’t exactly pay attention to the details. The school swam in cement and pavement.

Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Jin Thindal Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Title: Springsteen, A Three-Minute Song, A Life of Learning Examining Committee: Chair: Lynn Fels Professor Celeste Snowber Senior Supervisor Professor Allan MacKinnon Supervisor Associate Professor Michael Ling Internal Examiner Senior Lecturer Walter Gershon External Examiner Associate Professor School of Teaching, Learning & Curriculum Studies Kent State University Date Defended/Approved: December 9, 2019 ii Abstract This dissertation is an autobiographical and educational rendering of Bruce Springsteen’s influence on my life. Unbeknownst to him, Bruce Springsteen became my first proper ‘professor.’ Nowhere near the confines of a regular classroom, he opened the door to a kind of education like nothing I ever got in my formal schooling. From the very first notes of the song “Born in the U.S.A.,” he seized me and took me down a path of alternative learning. In only four minutes and forty seconds, the song revealed how little I knew of the world, despite all of my years in education, being a teacher, and holding senior positions. Like many people, I had thought that education was gained from the school system.
