The Battle to Take Back the New School By BARUCHA CALAMITY PELLER

"Occupy Everything"

The Battle to Take Back the New School                              

By BARUCHA CALAMITY PELLER

Owing to pending legal issues, as well as continuing intimidation from school administration towards student organizers, all the New School students are quoted anonymously in this article, at their request. CB

"We occupied a university building, workers in Chicago occupied their factory, people facing foreclosures have refused to leave their homes. Occupation is not merely a tactic to get some demands met; it is a practical strategy for taking our lives back into our own hands. Let's occupy everything until everything is ours.” – a student at the New School for Social Research, NY
  
On Friday, April 10, in the first lights of a cool Manhattan dawn, banging could be heard up to a block away from the four-story New School building at 65 5th Ave, and the sound of chains scraping against metal permeated the silent morning.

When school security arrived the entire building, which takes up a city block steps away from bustling Union Square, had been barricaded by students inside. A huge banner appeared hanging from the roof: “The New School is now re-Occupied.”

Although only lasting four hours before a brutal eviction by NYPD, the bold occupation has once again raised the stakes in the young student movement in New York City. But more importantly, the politics that have been bought forth from within recent occupations at NYC universities challenge reformist solutions to atomized “issues,” and now more than ever gone beyond focusing solely on student demands. Students are proposing direct action, and specifically occupation, as a natural response to the financial crisis, with a distinct anti-capitalist critique.

“The New School’s problems are symptomatic of the larger economic crisis in whish we live, the crisis which is being dealt with by service cuts, foreclosures, bank bailouts, mass unemployment, and layoffs,” said a student inside the barricaded school. “We reject these false solutions. To really fight the crisis means to take over the spaces in which we live and work, and make them our own. And that is what we are doing.”

An escalating resistance to commodification

The April 10 occupation stepped up an already active scene of dissent at the New School, a movement whose contagious energy continues to spread to other universities. On December 17, New School students occupied a large area of the same building at 65th 5th ave for three days, and fights with authorities for the space broke out both inside and outside the building. Among their demands was the resignation of President Bob Kerrey and Vice-President James Murtha, as well as the Board of Trustees Treasurer James B. Millard. Early in the month, faculty had voted no-confidence for Bob Kerrey. The occupation ended after negotiations with the school, but only small concessions to the demands were made, and the administration remained.

Among a plethora of concerns, the students cite a lack of financial transparency and political centralization as their primary grievances with the New School administration. They say Kerrey is making the school into a corporate entity that disregards student and faculty needs.

“We don’t have a library, the school has spent millions on a new logo, and Kerrey is only concerned with making the school profitable,” a student has said. “Our school is a progressive front for the corporate, commodification of education.”

The administration themselves are shadowy characters. Kerrey, a former Nebraska senator, is considered a war criminal for leading a massacre on a village of unarmed civilians during his tour of duty as lieutenant in Vietnam. According to reports, civilians including women and children were executed outside their homes and others were stabbed.

Millard sits on the board of L3 communications, a large war contractor whose subsidiary in Iraq, a company called Titan, was sued in May 2008 for abuses and torture at Abu Ghraib.

After winter break the movement continued. In February, NYU students, with support from their New School counterparts, occupied Kimmel Hall for three days, requesting that the school release a report of the annual operating budget and grant 15 scholarships to students from Gaza.  The NYU occupation ended when police lifted the barricades at Kimmel Hall. Students were photographed and suspended.

Meanwhile there was an obvious lack of any serious changes occurring at New School after the December occupation. A socially responsible investing committee was to be set up, but Kerrey called it merely advisory. Wearing ski-masks, a student group called New School in Exile held a February 10 press conference to announce an ultimatum:  President Kerrey must be out by April 1 or else the students will shut down the school. Any concessions made by the school after the occupation were considered irrelevant if the current administration remained.

Things only escalated further from there. More student groups signed onto the ultimatum. Frequent meetings were held and at one point Kerrey’s house was vandalized.  A February teach-in on the history of student resistance at the New School was disrupted by school security that threatened to arrest and suspend students if they continued the teach-in. A second teach-in was similarly disrupted in March. Using intimidation, administration showed a flagrant disregard for freedom of academic and political expression at the school, and tensions rose.  

April 1 came and went and Kerrey remained. A heightened security detail at the school slackened its  efforts, but the students had not forgotten their ultimatum.  

“Occupy Everything”

On the morning of April 10 crowds of student supporters and pedestrians gathered around the occupied building. Kerrey, who labeled the occupation illegal and refused to recognize it as a political demonstration, summoned the police in force. The demands had expanded since the passing of the April 1st deadline:  the resignation of the Kerrey administration, and full control over the otherwise underutilized building at 65 5th Ave. At the same time, those barricaded within the building used the occupation as a call to action to other students and non-students and as a model of resistance.

“There are two aspects of our struggle,” said a student inside the occupation. “The first revolves around the crisis at our university, which is symbolized by the corrupt and authoritarian President Bob Kerrey. The second, and more important aspect is rooted in the general struggle against capital, as well against all hierarchical power relations.  The solution we propose is a means without end. Our occupation of 65 5th Avenue is a small model of our proposal, which is for workers, students, and dispossessed of all kinds to collectively occupy the places where they live, work and circulate through.”

Huge banners were dropped from the roof of the school: “Occupy Everything.”

As morning pedestrians began to swarm the sidewalks outside the building, wondering what was happening, people fell silent and heads turned upwards toward the roof, where a dozen occupiers appeared masked and waving a black and red flag. The scene was striking- against the backdrop of a grey sky, the masked occupiers began to read a communiqué from a bullhorn. “…When we delve below the surface appearance of everyday life, it becomes clear that a generalized critique of society based on the twin logics of capitalist accumulation and hierarchical domination has everything to do with our struggle to redefine our school.”

The students went on to critique capital and the commodity form to the constantly swelling gathering of press, police, pedestrians, and student supporters below.

President sicks NYPD on students 

Shortly after the occupiers disappeared back into the building, NYPD appeared in their place on the roof, and began a calculated operation to remove the student occupation and hinder outside support by barricading the perimeter of the school and shutting down over a block of 5th Ave. In a move that would later be heavily criticized by both faculty and students, Kerry gave the go-ahead to the NYPD to remove the occupiers, without offering negotiation from the administration.

In an absurd reaction to the occupation, Kerry actually went as far as to compare the students to Al-Qaida, saying, “Some of us still remember 9/11 around here.”  Kerrey, who at one time termed his students as “customers”, later called the students who occupied “terrorists”.

In the late morning, the occupiers attempted to leave the building through a side door. When the door opened, police reached inside and heavily pepper sprayed the students, and then closed the door, preventing them from peacefully retreating from the occupation. Outside the door, police attacked supporters, arresting three and leaving one student with a concussion and scrapes and bruises across his face. The NYPD denied the use of pepper spray on the students until a video surfaced on the Internet clearly showing the brutality at the side door.

The occupation ended when scores of police sawed through the front entrance. Inside, occupiers unlocked the second door and sat in three lines and 19 people were arrested without resistance.

Appalled by president Kerrey’s response that led to the incidents of police brutality at the occupation that day, an angry crowd of 200 masked students from various schools descended on Kerrey’s house in Greenwich Village late at night.  They shouted his name and broke some car windows while barricading the street from approaching police.

Faculty have heavily criticized President Kerry’s calling in of the NYPD as an executive unilateral decision reflecting his general lack of accountability to other existing powers at the New School community. Historically, school administrations hesitate to use police to settle student demonstrations on campus.  It was no small deal in the 60s when Columbia University sent the police in to evict an occupation, and after words, several faculty members resigned in protest.

 “We can see no justification for the administration’s resort to police force against the occupiers of 65 Fifth Avenue…in our view, (Kerrey’s) statements evince no understanding of longstanding traditions of university autonomy vis-à-vis state power and protection from apparatuses of repression.” wrote two prominent professors, Nancy Fraser and Eli Zaretsky. “His action appears to have been taken in ignorance of the specificity of academic life, its values, traditions, and historic rights.” 

A Global Context for Unrelenting Students

President Kerry should consider himself lucky that New School students are only going after buildings. A few days before the latest New School occupation, students in Orleans, France, held their school president hostage, with a motto that reflects sentiments of students in New York: “education is not merchandise.” 

As the December occupation was greatly inspired by the insurrection in Greece and the wave of occupations there, students in New York continue to connect their experiences with others across the globe, specifically in Europe where students are concerned with an unstable job market and university reforms that serve capitalist interests. Since December, letters of solidarity from student occupations from Greece to Italy and Spain have been pouring into New York, and students scour the web for communiqués from their anti-capitalist “comrades” overseas.  Clashes between police and students have swept Italy and France for months.

Despite the administration’s continued efforts to repress dissent through threats of expulsion and disciplinary action, the students at New School continue to organize and escalate: holding assemblies, encouraging direct action, and writing intelligent communiqués to articulate their every move and counter naïve charges that they are merely “political thugs,” or that occupation is an act of violence. Students from schools around the city have come out in support of the New School demonstrations, and are planning actions at their own schools. Pressure from faculty led the to the temporary lifting of suspensions on students involved with the recent occupation.

Last week, Kerrey’s house was visited once again by a mob of students reminding him that they want him to leave, and Fifth avenue was blockaded in front of the school. “Occupy again!” The crowd shouted.

“The students are determined,” said a student yesterday. “The school cannot continue doing this, because we wont back down. Occupation is a powerful experience- to take back space and make it your own. Now that we have had a taste, we know what is possible.”

This is WONDERFUL. I dropped out of the new school in 2005 because it was a capitalist sham masquerading as a locus of self-directed learning and free thought. I needed to take direct action to make all aspects of my life into a lever to move the world, and when I found that I could not have control over my education at this school, I left to pursue my dreams independently without the management of this shill.

I wish the occupiers the best of luck. Though I would suggest they keep in mind that the full name of the New School is The New School of Social Research, and it was founded according to the ideals of social engineering in the early 1900's. These social engineers founded institutions for the purpose of refashioning social, educational and economic mores into an ubercapitalist, technocratic model of top down control, based on the zeitgeist of the industrial age, which was in it's raging prime. A little research into the total, painstakingly executed reshaping of american society in the industrial age through the mandates of compulsory education and the constitutional enshrinement of corporate personhood is a good place to start if you want to get a handle on the mindset that prevailed in the founding of that school. (In a nutshell- force everyone to be educated in your system so they will never question having to work their lives away in your system.)

That's what you're up against. Having a new man on top isn't going to change a thing, because there will still be a man on top. Get rid of the pyramid, and now we're talking.

And now my own suggestion: drop out en masse, take the $40,000/student/year tuition you all will be retaining, and use that massive amount of money to fund your own organization that will enable you to actually make these types of big changes in higher education. Immediately. Without having to ask for permission or trying to change an entrenched culture of corporatism. See Gaia University for an example. You can make it happen right away. Good luck.

This is true...All students have first to realise the way universities participate in the elimination of life on planet earth and then...DROP OUT!...
In the moment that thousands and thouusands of students drop-out they put together themselves in the most creative risk, the risk to find all new ways to live in the capitalistic desert in an autonomous self-organized collective way...We have to find the power to drop-out and stay way from working in communal ways of living!...We have to be proud to refuse work, we have to rise the dignity of the unemployed ones and use all our free time to fight against the state and against the economical and political elites!...This is the only way to save the planet!

in Kosovo. There were only two graduate students who really knew what was going on in
Kosovo at that time between the Albanians and the Serbs. (me and this Albanian student). I sat
in for about 1 and 1/2 hours taking notes and listening. Then I left. Here is a short and brief
description of the lecture.

The New School for Social Research and how they spend US tax dollars! Posted 3/2/2009

2:35 PM EST




The New School for Social Research and how they spend US tax dollars!
Posted 3/2/2009 2:35 PM EST

Read about the New School for Social Research and how they spend US tax dollars!

What do you say now Kerry?

Dear Provost of NEW SCHOOL FOR SOCIAL RESEARCH JONATHON FANTON[

NEW YORK CITY 212-229-5777]:

I am requesting a formal hearing by the New School University Wide Committee on

Harassment. I have filed numerous and grave discriminatory harassment complaints

against certain New School Graduate Faculty Officials as well as professors. My

complaints have not been appropriately dealt with or resolved in either an honest or a

moral manner by New School Graduate Faculty members as far as I am concerned.

Furthermore, Eliza Nichols, the very first person against whom I filed an initial complaint

against for her emotionally abusive behavior directed at me on March 30th, 1999, (as

Dean McIntyre is well aware of), is in a DIRECT “conflict of interest” when it comes to

dealing with any other complaints that I may have filed. She should neither be meddling

nor partaking in my legal New School complaint mediation process, unless, it concerns

the complaint that I filed against her. I am a State of NJ Certified Court Mediator so I

familiar with these issues. Eliza presumably is one of

the few persons who Dean McIntyre seems to be dealing with (see the CC on his

letters, which bar me from future studies at the New School, dated May 29 1999).

I allege that certain New School Graduate Faculty Department Officials have been

impeding, and with malicious intent, my:

graduating from the New School for Social Research which was supposed to take place

this past week.
Registering for any class given at the New School University regardless of either a) the

division, or b) even if I have the cold cash to pay for classes by myself. This is explicit and

direct, Discriminatory Harassment! These are VERY serious Civil Right violations that

have been committed directly against me by many New School Graduate Faculty

Members and I want them seriously investigated. I further allege:
Professor Louise Tilly gave me a bad grade of a C- last semester
Fall 1998) due to her discriminating against me for my strong belief in

God. I allege Professor Tilly clearly disdains my Orthodox

Christian Faith. Her assistant professor was an atheist man from Iran. I have both

Atheist and Human Secularist friends. I never encountered any

such a problems prior either in or out of university settings before I took,

Professor Tilly’s historiography class last semester. All one needs to do is to view a few

of the copy written works written by Charles and Louise Tilly to clearly see their

seemingly clear distaste for religion in general. In one such work that I ironically read for

another class there were quotes from Mr. and Mrs. Tilly, on religion. It went something

like this: ‘religion must be destroyed because it is the opiate of the people and also it

impedes Marxist-Communist Revolutions.’ I also allege that Professor Tilly does not have

the historical background and/or knowledge necessary for grading pre-Revolutionary

Theological Orthodox Christian Historical sources to enable her to grade my

historiography paper on Empress Aleksandra from the, Fall 1998 semester.

I am a member of the Int’l Romanov Society. The Orthodox Christian Church is

prepared to support my case against Ms. Tilly. Various Church members and even

Archbishop have seen Professor Tilly’s comments on my paper. They also have seen the

manner in which Professor Tilly revised my Orthodox Christian Theological sources

which were in quotes in my paper. The Church will be my witness against Ms. Tilly at

this hearing that I am now requesting! To me, what Professor Tilly has done even worse

than pure plagiarism! I have a copy of the paper here.

Almost all her corrections are either “crossing directly through my religious references to

God/religion”, and/or revising the meaning of my theological sources entirely. This is not

acceptable behavior from a New School Professor. As for Professor Tilly’s own

complaints about the “formatting” of the paper. Ms.Tilly readily admits to having lost my

original paper. I therefore had to give her a rough draft of an old paper from last

semester. Luckily I had left after I had a hard disk crash left year.

Therefore is Professor Tilly is displeased with my formatting, it is her own fault since she

admits to printing this rough draft from an e-mail attachment herself! I have proof here. I

also have a note here from Ms. Louise Tilly indicating that she would be happy to allow

me to “revise” the paper. However, the Orthodox Christian Church and I both agree that

the substance of the paper should remain as is. It is important for Historians to

understand whereby Orthodox Christians understand and conduct “historiography.”

I took the Cultural approach to historiography that President of the American Historical

Association took, Lynn Hunt, in the book that I read for Ms. Tilly’s class entitled,

“Telling the Truth about History.” (I have a copy Professor Tilly’s syllabus). As for my

more serious complaint against Professor Plotke. On April 22,1999 Professor Plotke and

I had a meeting to discuss my future at the New School. David Plotke has barred my

registering for: Fall 1999, summer 1999 classes, and also any future studies at the New

School.

I still am told by Dean McIntyre that Jill Starr is absolutely forbidden to so much as take

one class now or in the future at the New School for Social Research, even, if I personally

pay for a class with my own cash! The New School has ads in both NYC Newspapers,

and also Subways in NYC for students. Hence, I find it exceedingly discriminatory that

Jill Starr is being told that she has not has human right to register for summer classes or

any other classes at the New School University.

Back to David Plotke now: On April 22, 1999 at approximately 5-5:30pm, Professor

David Plotke called me into his office and told me that I was no longer a student at the

New School! I had no prior oral or written warning before David Plotke told me that I

was no longer a New School student in his very emotionally abusive manner!

Furthermore, I, Jill Starr, never once broke any New School rule or regulation as Dean

McIntyre’s May 29th 1999 letter confirms. In this letter May 29, 1999 (I will send you the

copies of it) Dean McIntyre states that he and the New School Graduate Faculty all

“met”, and collectively decided to strangle and condemn to “death”, Jill Starr’s future

studies at the New School for Social Research. Also, Professor and Chair of Political

Science David Plokte used a “non-verbal” fighting word.

I allege Mr. David Plotke came towards me in his office with a small camping knife/file

on that same date and time Moreover, David Plotke on that date tried to “BRIBE ME”

into accepting his so called “deal”. In David Plotke’s “deal”, he tried to verbally coerce

me to accept this following “bribe” (I am truthful and it was a BRIBE!): David Plotke’s

“bribery story” goes like this: ‘I David Plotke am willing to offer you (Jill Starr), a

deal/BRIBE… since you are no longer welcomed to take classes at the New School....you

can accept that your future studies and any hopes for entering into the Ph.D. program are

through…and Jill, if you agree to not cause me any problems (like filing complaints

against David Plotke he meant to say).and you (Me) take this bribe nicely, then I, David

Plotke, will read over your MA Thesis and allow you to one day graduate.’ I REFUSED

TO ACCEPT DAVID’S BRIBERY! He got angry and told me to get out of his office. I

went directly to the Office of Student Affairs and then I filed a formal complaint in my

own hand writing (I have a copy here and it will be mailed to you certified next Tuesday

after Labor Day).

David Plotke is unsure as to whether my voice activated “mike was on” at the time since

David also said basically, ‘Either, ‘Jill Starr accepts my deal and she does not register for

Fall l999 classes at the New School OR, she never Graduates at all.” This is illegal

behavior that David Plotke took part in, never mind it being 100% underhanded and also

unethical!

Now let me explain some of my complaint against Eliza Nicholas: Eliza Nicholas is

woman whom I have a clear open and shut case against! I will prove to the world if

necessary that on March 30 1999 when I met with Eliza, she was only acting as David

Plotke’s, “hatchet woman” (David did not want to do the toss Jill Starr out of the New

School “dirty work himself, obviously we know why.

So Eliza Nicholas attempted to verbally abuse me into, and in the process of such abuse,

Eliza proceeded to clearly “lie” to me (a student at the New School at the time), about

New School student regulations which is a VERY, serious offence. (I am sure that you all

would agree). Eliza Nicholas on March 30 1999 told me that I had no “choice”. She told

me that Jill Starr MUST, take an, “indefinite leave of absence from the New School in

the Fall 1999 semester.” I refused to do this! I STILL REFUSE TO DO IT!

My doctor thinks that my attending the New School is the best thingfor helping my

emotional well being (minus any abusive discriminatory harassment from any New School

Officials)! Now Eliza told me that after I took this “indefinite leave of absence” in the Fall

of 1999, that “you (Jill) cannot come back to the New School as a student ‘Jill IS

EVALUATED BY NEW SCHOOL PSCCHIATRISTS!” Eliza also told me,’YOU MUST

CHANGE YOU MEDICATIONS JILL— BEFORE YOU RETURN TO THE NEW

SCHOOL!’ My doctor called Professor Adamantia Pollis about this incident and I am

sure that Addie will fill you all in on the discourse between herself, and my doctor about

the Eliza incident!’ My doctor fully is against this inhumane treatment directed against

me by New School Professors and Officials! I have become exceedingly depressed with

suicidal feeling (and increased anxiety) because of the manner in which the New School

has treated my complaints! This has impaired most of my daily functions, including

writing my paper this Summer for Addie Pollis! My doctor says it is absolutely absurd

that Eliza demand from me (she has no authority to tell me that I am no longer a student!

And as far as David Plotke goes, David can only bar me from future studies WITH THE

PROVOST’S Permission (see page 63 student handbook) And this is a power that only

the New School, PROVOST has that David Plotke took into his own hands by

DISMISSING ME, A STUDENT ON THE SPOT on April 22, 1999!

Prof. Plotke took matters into his own hands (the law into his own hands it seems when

he in an extremely criminal manner to told me, Jill Starr, that I should leave the school 4

-ever. Eliza also demanded that I take an immediate leave of beginning this Fall 1999.

BUIT NOW: Dean McIntyre and Eliza (see letters to come via certified mail), that Jill

Starr am, thrown out of the the New School Completely! This is criminal behavior and

nothing more! Even my doctor states that the Fall 1999 semester is almost half a year

away! She thought that I need time off this summer perhaps! I get it anyway it seems!

Then we have the grave matter of Eliza Nicholas VIOLATING MY FEDERAL HUMAN

RIGHTS (US LAW)! She violated the patient - client federal confidentiality law when

Eliza Nicolas, after I told her that in NO MANNER WOULD I ALLOW HER TO CALL

MY DOCTOR WITHOUT MY WRITTEN CONSENT, she did it anyway! She called Dr.

Charlotte Piuck and without my legal written consent to attempt to get my doctor to tell

her, that “I was dangerous”. I allege that she committed this illegal and mindless Action

only for the purpose of Eliza 1) trying to assist David Plotke throw me out of the New

School in an emotionally abusive manner, and 2) to protect her own job because I also

accused her of violating my “CIVIL RIGHTS”!

This is entirely inappropriate behavior for New School Graduate Faculty Members to

engage in! Then I have Dean McIntyre’s letters (this is what this is a response to). I allege

that Linda Reimer lied in those letter as did Dean McIntyre. Either this, or, they do not

have proper information or memories. Also there is the grave issue of Nancy Shealy e-

mailing me to inform that “David will be away until August 1999 so not to come to meet

with him on April 22 1999.”! I complained against Nancy Shealy also (I have copies!)

Since Addie Pollis e-mailed me (I have copies), saying that she will have no choice but to”

support the New School” in their Criminally Abusive Civil Right Violations against me.

By the way Addie, I hope that you change you mind now after you know the FULL

TRUTH!) ..........I now allege, that Professor Pollis has rejected at least FOUR, 10-15

page term papers I submitted to her this semester as rough drafts for my completing her

course requirement for the, Politics of Development. It is quite clear at this point (I have

seen this before many a time over) that New School Officials are impeding my completing

Addie Pollis’a class. How? They are pressuring Addie Pollis I allege and am ready to

prove, not to allow me to “pass her class”. Illegal, yes, but it happens all the time!

Furthermore, Addie Pollis is a professor I have always greatly admired. Admantia Pollis

and I never prior, had any problems about her “understanding my topics/papers.” In fact,

Addie Pollis IS, the ONLY Professor that I can still “somewhat respect” at the New

School now. From my first semester at the New School, Addie Pollis came to me and

asked me “WHEREFORE MY WRITING WAS SO FRAGMENTED”. (I have an

attention deficit disorder, which worsens with stress)! Addie and only Anthony Pereira

have attempted to accommodate my disability! David Plotke “said it is not up for

discussion on April 22 1999 when he through me out of the New School!” Gee, thanks

David (for nothing that is)!

In fact Addie Pollis, she has up to now always assisted me because she knows that Jill

Starr has been on permanent disability for about 9 years (SOCIAL SECURITY). Anthony

Pereira was another very good professor.

I took his class Military State and Society (A PRO-SEMINAR DAVID!) in my Fall 1997

semester at the New School. I was told by BOTH 1) David Plotke, and 2) JIM NOLT,

that later this class could perhaps be used as a pro-seminar.

There are the other 3 credits David Plotke you claim that impede
my graduation! Most every one of the University Officials whom I have filed official

complaints against for they’re abusive discriminatory harassment against me should not,

and this goes double for the case of Ms. Eliza Nichols who has a direct conflict of interest

in my case since I have filed a formal complaint against her. Professor David Plotke

suspended me from the New School and also any future studies on April 22, 1999 in an

emotionally and threatening manner with no prior notice! (SEE PAGE 63 STUDENT

HANDBOOK ON THE PROVOST HOLDING THATEXECUTIVE POWER PROF.

PLOTKE. Any questions? Good.

Please start investigations leading to a hearing in reference to my complaints right away.

As for Ms. Louise Tilly who contrary to what Linda Reimer stated in her letter (see cc: to

Dean McIntyre dated May 29 1999) I never met with Miss Tilly to resolve my “complaint

informally.” Lies and more *amned lies! I never had a 2.2 GPA and when I came to the

New School my GPA was 3.57 from previous school! Not as Dean McIntyre says it is

now, a 2.2!

I not only allege that Ms. Tilly discriminated against me on 1) religiousgrounds,2)-I

petition for a grade change, and 3) I still allege she has not the knowledge to grade a

paper using pre-Revolutionary Russia Theological sources! I want a formal hearing

about my complaints against: David, Louise, Shealy, Nicholas, and now I am bordering

on suing the school in general!

Respectfully Submitted,

Jill L Starr

Re: Civil Rights Case# 02-99-2132
Dear Mr. Carroll,
I am writing you concerning a matter of grave and immanent importance regarding my

Appeal on Civil Rights Case #02-99-2132.
As you may be aware, I was granted an extension of time by the New School for Social

Research to satisfy the incomplete grade in the course entitled Political Development

taught by Professor Adamantia Pollis which I was forced to accept an incomplete grade

in last Spring 1999. The extension granted to me gives me until mid-May 2000 to

complete the paper which is the principle requirement for this course.
In order to complete this paper I need to consult with Professor Pollis, and also have

access to the New School University Library which has been denied me in spite of

repeated requests to allow me access to this and other necessary New School facilities.
It may be of further interest to note, that I am currently on a medical leave of absence

from the University that I currency attend. Hence, I wish to seek a further extension of

the deadline for completion of this course.
I have attempted to contact all of the administrators of the New School for Social

Research involved in my Civil Rights Case# 02-99-2132 including Nancy Shealy (Political

Science Dept. Secretary) who has repeatedly hung up on my telephone calls on all

occasions to the school which have all been without success.
Furthermore, the New School administration had assured me that I would be granted

access to necessary library and other facilities if I contacted the New School VP of

Student Affairs Ms. Linda Reimer who would arrange for security guards to accompany

me.
Needless to say this has caused me to suffer grave emotional consequences. VP Linda

Reimer has persistantly refused for the last six months to honour this and other New

School agreements concerning the aforementioned.
If the New School persists in this refusal to honor its own agreements, I think it is only

fair that they should immediately grant me a monetary refund for the tuition I paid for

Professor Pollis’s Political Development course ASAP.
I can supply strong evidence to support these assertions and I would appreciate your

earliest attention to this matter. Thanking you in advance for your gracious help. I

remain

Respectfully Yours,

New School Professor Louise Tilly Fails Russian

Friday, April 24, 2009
Vladyko Theodore Grrew Up in Tsar Nicholas Palace Old Russia



His grave site is here in West Milford and I try to visit his grave often as possible.

In Orthodox Christian Churches worldwide, it is well documented that many years ago when president of Peugeot Oil Company in France was still alive; he wrote his will. After passing away, in his will he designated Vladyko Theodore that you see in the photo above, to undertake his funeral services. This was when Vladyko Theodore was a much younger man; my story can be verified.

Vladyko Theodore who was not in France at the time of his death, came thereto as wishes in the will revealed. There were several close relatives and friends at the funeral services witnessesing this, then.

Vladyko Theodore as I am told walked into a room where the dead man laid closing the door.

After about an hour of praying in the room alone, Vladyko Theodore walked out with the formerly dead president of the aforementioned oil company alive (the man walked out with VLadyko Theodore ALLIVE, in other words).

The variant persons waiting outside the door claim to have seen an ’uncreated light’ emanating from the room in which Vladyko Theodore prayed with the dead man; from whence the light emerged it is unknown.

This is only one of the many miracles Vladyko Theodore is known for.

Before Romanov family in Russia was executed by the Bolshevik’s, Empress Alexandra gave to Vladyko Theodore (+), the beard of Saint Seraphum of Sarov.

It was in his possession until he passed it onto a monastic order of monks in Texas in the United States before the year 2000.

Moreover, we here in West Milford, NJ had an Orthodox Christian priest join us from England. His name was, Father Alban; he recently passed on.

He had worked for England’s police force; he had his leg/s amputated (I don’t remember now if both were amputated or merely one).

Notwithstanding, before he came to stay at the Holy Name Abbey in West Milford NJ where I attend church, he was scheduled in England for surgery; he had prostate cancer. The evening prior to his surgery, he claims Vladyko Theodore (who had long since passed away) came to him in a vision telling him his cancer would be cured, but he would have to pray harder for God to cure his Kisney damage (I am unsure what this meant-pray harder) but this is whereby he explained to me his story.

The next morning he went to the hosptial in England where he was scheduled for cancer surgery. Upon entering the hospital, he asked the doctors to re-examine him to see if he still had prostate cancer; the doctors replied ”this is ridiculous, of course you still have cancer...”

After strongly insisting, the doctor’s re-examined him and they were astounded to discover his cancer was truely gone.


More true stories about my former spiritual father soon.

Louise Tilly at the New School for Social Research in Manhattan, failed me in my required class ”historiography” doing all she could to forbid me in writing my paper on the subject of Russian royalty, God and/or Vladyko Theodore (she herself was a self proclaimed feminine Marxist).

She could NEVER have herself, found these amazing historical facts on the Russian Romanov family from other primary sources than myself really becuse most have died. You’d think she’d be interested in the subject; not so!

I am one of the only American women ever possessing historical primary resources on the Romanov family from Vladyo Theodore and also from my lady friend whose father was for a short time before he was assasinated, the King of Serbia.

Liljana Piper is a former Serbian Duchess and her and her family used to live at the Holy Name Abbey in West Milford for about 25 years. They recently returned to Serbia after becomming American citizens.

I am very sad because Liljana has cancer now and is very ill. I always wanted to see her again; she is like a mother to me. I don’t have funds to visit her in Beograd.

She married Serbia’s most famous football / soccer player, Branko Piper who is in the World ALmanac for managing to keep the same soccer position for the longest time of anyone in the world.

I met a man whose nickname was, ”LaAstBaron” when I used to go on the Prodigy chatrooms.

He was a Hungarian Baron; last in his line of sucession he informed me. He now works in diplomatic capacity at a Hungarian Embassy in the Consul section. I have not spoken with him in many years.

He came to visit with me when I lived in Newfoundland NJ off Route 23 Nrth by Oak Ridge Road. He was engaged to a Serbian woman at the time.

He came to visit for the purpose of my introducing him to my freind Liljana Piper (her maiden name was Voyonivoc-I cannot spell it correctly now please forgive me).

They wanted to meet and discuss the ousting of the monarchy in their respective countries and also chat about the rich history shared between their two respective countries (Hungary and Yugoslavia).

It was like Camelot.

You should have been there when the Hungarian Baron knelt before Liljana, kissing her hand and both of them after so many years of tensions between Hungary and Yugoslavia resolved so many differences and became friends.

I am hnoored to have been a part of that meeting.

’Last Baron’ I meant. Sorry I mispelled.

He lived in Staten Island; this is a fe verifiable verity.

Dear Provost of NEW SCHOOL FOR SOCIAL RESEARCH JONATHON FANTON[ NEW YORK CITY 212-229-5777]:

This is my original letter pleading to complete my education to pay off my student loans; I defaulted having my social security garnished now


Dear Provost of NEW SCHOOL FOR SOCIAL RESEARCH JONATHON FANTON[ NEW YORK CITY 212...]:

I am requesting a formal hearing by the New School University Wide Committee on Harassment. I have filed numerous and grave discriminatory harassment complaints against certain New School Graduate Faculty Officials as well as professors. My complaints have not been appropriately dealt with or resolved in either an honest or a moral manner by New School Graduate Faculty members as far as I am concerned. Furthermore, Eliza Nichols, the very first person against whom I filed an initial complaint against for her emotionally abusive behavior directed at me on March 30th, 1999, (as Dean McIntyre is well aware of), is in a DIRECT “conflict of interest” when it comes to dealing with any other complaints that I may have filed. She should neither be meddling nor partaking in my legal New School complaint mediation process, unless, it concerns the complaint that I filed against her. I am a State of NJ Certified Court Mediator so I familiar with these issues. Eliza presumably is one of

the few persons who Dean McIntyre seems to be dealing with (see the CC on his

letters, which bar me from future studies at the New School, dated May 29 1999).

I allege that certain New School Graduate Faculty Department Officials have been impeding, and with malicious intent, my:

graduating from the New School for Social Research which was supposed to take place this past week.
Registering for any class given at the New School Universityregardless of either a) the division, or b) even if I have the cold cash to pay for classes by myself. This is explicit and direct, Discriminatory Harassment! These are VERY serious Civil Right violations that have been committed directly against me by many New School Graduate Faculty Members and I want them seriously investigated. I further allege:
Professor Louise Tilly gave me a bad grade of a C- last semester
Fall 1998) due to her discriminating against me for my strong belief in

God. I allege Professor Tilly clearly disdains my Orthodox

Christian Faith. Her assistant professor was an atheist man from Iran. I have both Atheist and Human Secularist friends. I never encountered any

such a problems prior either in or out of university settings before I took,

Professor Tilly’s historiography class last semester. All one needs to do is to view a few of the copy written works written by Charles and Louise Tilly to clearly see their seemingly clear distaste for religion in general. In one such work that I ironically read for another class there were quotes from Mr. and Mrs. Tilly, on religion. It went something like this: ‘religion must be destroyed because it is the opiate of the people and also it impedes Marxist-Communist Revolutions.’ I also allege that Professor Tilly does not have the historical background and/or knowledge necessary for grading pre-Revolutionary Theological Orthodox Christian Historical sources to enable her to grade my historiography paper on Empress Aleksandra from the, Fall 1998 semester.

I am a member of the Int’l Romanov Society. The Orthodox Christian Church is prepared to support my case against Ms. Tilly. Various Church members and even Archbishop have seen Professor Tilly’s comments on my paper. They also have seen the manner in which Professor Tilly revised my Orthodox Christian Theological

sources which were in quotes in my paper. The Church will be my witness

against Ms. Tilly at this hearing that I am now requesting! To me, what

Professor Tilly has done even worse than pure plagiarism! I have a copy

of the paper here. Almost all her corrections are either “crossing directly

through my religious references to God/religion”, and/or revising the meaning of my theological sources entirely. This is not acceptable behavior from a New School Professor. As for Professor Tilly’s own complaints about the “formatting” of the paper. Ms.Tilly readily admits to having lost my original paper. I therefore had to give her a rough draft of an old paper from last semester. Luckily I had left after I had a hard disk crash left year.

Therefore is Professor Tilly is displeased with my formatting, it is her own fault since she admits to printing this rough draft from an e-mail attachment herself! I have proof here. I also have a note here from Ms. Louise Tilly indicating that she would be happy to allow me to “revise” the paper. However, the Orthodox Christian Church and I both agree that the substance of the paper should remain as is. It is important for Historians to understand whereby Orthodox Christians understand and conduct “historiography.” I took the Cultural approach to historiography that President of the American Historical Association took, Lynn Hunt, in the book that I read for Ms. Tilly’s class entitled, “Telling the Truth about History.” (I have a copy Professor Tilly’s syllabus)

As for my more serious complaint against Professor Plotke. On

April 22,1999 Professor Plotke and I had a meeting to discuss my future

at the New School. David Plotke has barred my registering for: Fall 1999,

summer 1999 classes, and also any future studies at the New School. I still

am told by Dean McIntyre that Jill Starr is absolutely forbidden to so

much as take one class now or in the future at the New School for Social

Research, even, if I personally pay for a class with my own cash!

The New School has ads in both NYC Newspapers, and also Subways in NYC for students. Hence, I find it exceedingly discriminatory that Jill Starr is being told that she has not has human right to register for summer classes or any other classes at the New School University.

Back to David Plotke now: On April 22, 1999 at approximately 5-5:30pm, Professor David Plotke called me into his office and told me that I was no longer a student at the New School! I had no prior oral or written warning before David Plotke told me that I was no longer a New School student in his very emotionally abusive manner! Furthermore, I, Jill Starr, never once broke any New School rule or regulation as Dean McIntyre’s May 29th 1999 letter confirms. In this letter May 29, 1999 (I will send you the copies of it) Dean McIntyre states that he and the New School Graduate Faculty all “met”, and collectively decided to strangle and condemn to “death”, Jill Starr’s future studies at the New School for Social Research. Also, Professor and Chair of Political Science David Plokte used a “non-verbal” fighting word. I allege Mr. David Plotke came towards me in his office with a small camping knife/file on that same date and time Moreover, David Plotke on that date tried to “BRIBE ME” into accepting his so called “deal”. In David Plotke’s “deal”, he tried to verbally coerce me to accept this following “bribe” (I am truthful and it was a BRIBE!): David Plotke’s “bribery story” goes like this: ‘I David Plotke am willing to offer you (Jill Starr), a deal/BRIBE… since you are no longer welcomed to take classes at the New School....you can accept that your future studies and any hopes for entering into the Ph.D. program are through…and Jill, if you agree to not cause me any problems (like filing complaints against David Plotke he meant to say).and you (Me) take this bribe nicely, then I, David Plotke, will read over your MA Thesis and allow you to one day graduate.’ I REFUSED TO ACCEPT DAVID’S BRIBERY! He got angry and told me to get out of his office. I went directly to the Office of Student Affairs and then I filed a formal complaint in my own hand writing (I have a copy here and it will be mailed to you certified next Tuesday after Labor Day). David Plotke is unsure as to whether my voice activated “mike was on” at the time since David also said basically, ‘Either, ‘Jill Starr accepts my deal and she

does not register for Fall l999 classes at the New School OR, she never

Graduates at all.” This is illegal behavior that David Plotke took

part in, never mind it being 100% underhanded and also unethical!

Now let me explain some of my complaint against Eliza Nicholas: Eliza Nicholas is woman whom I have a clear open and shut case against! I will prove to the world if necessary that on March 30 1999 when I met with Eliza, she was only acting as David Plotke’s, “hatchet woman” (David did not want to do the toss Jill Starr out of the New School “dirty work himself, obviously we know why. So Eliza Nicholas attempted to verbally abuse me into, and in the process of such abuse, Eliza proceeded to clearly “lie” to me (a student at the New School at the time), about New School student regulations which is a VERY, serious offence. (I am sure that you all would agree). Eliza Nicholas on March 30 1999 told me that I had no “choice”. She told me that Jill Starr MUST, take an, “indefinite leave of absence from the New School in the Fall 1999 semester.” I refused to do this! I STILL REFUSE TO DO IT!

My doctor thinks that my attending the New School is the best thingfor helping my emotional well being (minus any abusive discriminatory

harassment from any New School Officials)! Now Eliza told me that after I took this “indefinite leave of absence” in the Fall of 1999, that “you (Jill) cannot come back to the New School as a student ‘Jill IS EVALUATED BY NEW SCHOOL PSCCHIATRISTS!” Eliza also told me,’YOU MUST CHANGE YOU MEDICATIONS JILL— BEFORE YOU RETURN TO THE NEW SCHOOL!’ My doctor called Professor Adamantia Pollis about this incident and I am sure that Addie will fill you all in on the discourse between herself, and my doctor about the Eliza incident!’ My doctor fully is against this inhumane treatment directed against me by New School Professors and Officials! I have become exceedingly depressed with suicidal feeling (and increased anxiety) because of the manner in which the New School has treated my complaints! This has impaired most of my daily functions, including writing my paper this Summer for Addie Pollis! My doctor says it is absolutely absurd that Eliza demand from me (she has no authority to tell me that I am no longer a student! And as far as David Plotke goes, David can only bar me from future studies WITH THE PROVOST’S Permission (see page 63 student handbook) And this is a power that only the New School, PROVOST has that David Plotke took into his own hands by DISMISSING ME, A STUDENT ON THE SPOT on April 22, 1999! Prof. Plotke took matters into his own hands (the law into his own hands it seems when he in an extremely criminal manner to told me, Jill Starr, that I should leave the school 4-ever. Eliza also demanded that I take an immediate leave of beginning this Fall 1999. BUIT NOW: Dean McIntyre and Eliza (see letters to come via certified mail), that Jill Starr am, thrown out of the the New School Completely! This is criminal behavior and nothing more! Even my doctor states that the Fall 1999 semester is almost half a year away! She thought that I need time off this summer perhaps! I get it anyway it seems!

Then we have the grave matter of Eliza Nicholas VIOLATING MY FEDERAL HUMAN RIGHTS (US LAW)! She violated the patient - client federal confidentiality law when Eliza Nicolas, after I told her that in NO MANNER WOULD I ALLOW HER TO CALL MY DOCTOR WITHOUT MY WRITTEN CONSENT, she did it anyway! She called Dr. Charlotte Piuck and without my legal written consent to attempt to get my doctor to tell her, that “I was dangerous”. I allege that she committed this illegal and mindless Action only for the purpose of Eliza 1) trying to assist David Plotke throw me out of the New School in an emotionally abusive manner, and 2) to protect her own job because I also accused her of violating my “CIVIL RIGHTS”!

This is entirely inappropriate behavior for New School Graduate Faculty

Members to engage in! Then I have Dean McIntyre’s letters (this is

what this is a response to). I allege that Linda Reimer lied in those letter

as did Dean McIntyre. Either this, or, they do not have proper information

or memories. Also there is the grave issue of Nancy Shealy e-mailing me

to inform that “David will be away until August 1999 so not to come to

meet with him on April 22 1999.”! I complained against Nancy Shealy also

(I have copies!)Since Addie Pollis e-mailed me (I have copies),

saying that she will have no choice but to” support the New School”

in their Criminally Abusive Civil Right Violations against me..—–

—>By the way Addie, I hope that you change you mind now after you know

the FULL TRUTH!) ..........I now allege, that Professor Pollis has

rejected at least FOUR, 10-15 page term papers I submitted to her this semester as rough drafts for my completing her course requirement for the , Politics of Development. It is quite clear at this point (I have seen this before many a time over) that New School Officials are impeding my completing Addie Pollis’a class. How? They are pressuring Addie Pollis I allege and am ready to prove, not to allow me to “pass her class”. Illegal, yes, but it happens all the time!

Furthermore, Addie Pollis is a professor I have always greatly admired. Admantia Pollis and I never prior, had any problems about her “understanding my topics/papers.” In fact, Addie Pollis IS, the ONLY Professor

that I can still “somewhat respect” at the New School now. From my first

semester at the New School, Addie Pollis came to me and asked me “WHEREFORE

MY WRITING WAS SO FRAGMENTED”. (I have an attention deficit disorder, which worsens with stress)! Addie and only Anthony Pereira have attempted to accommodate my disability! David Plotke “said it is not up for discussion on April 22 1999 when he through me out of the New School!” Gee, thanks David (for nothing that is)!

In fact Addie Pollis, she has up to now always assisted me because

she knows that Jill Starr has been on permanent disability for about 9

years (SOCIAL SECURITY). Anthony Pereira was another very good professor.

I took his class Military State and Society (A PRO-SEMINAR DAVID!) in my

Fall 1997 semester at the New School. I was told by BOTH 1) David Plotke,

and 2) JIM NOLT, that later this class could perhaps be used as a pro-seminar.

There are the other 3 credits David Plotke you claim that impede

my graduation! Most every one of the University Officials whom I have filed official complaints against for they’re abusive discriminatory harassment against me should not, and this goes double for the case of Ms. Eliza Nichols who has a direct conflict of interest in my case since I have filed a formal complaint against her. Professor David Plotke suspended me from the New School and also any future studies on April 22, 1999 in an emotionally and threatening manner with no prior notice! (SEE PAGE 63 STUDENT HANDBOOK ON THE PROVOST HOLDING THATEXECUTIVE POWER PROF. PLOTKE. Any questions? Good. Please start investigations leading to a hearing in reference to my complaints right away. As for Ms. Louise Tilly who contrary to what Linda Reimer stated in her letter (see cc: to Dean McIntyre dated May 29 1999) I never met with Miss Tilly to resolve my “complaint informally.” Lies and more *amned lies! I never had a 2.2 GPA and when I came to the New School my GPA was 3.57 from previous school! Not as Dean McIntyre says it is now, a 2.2!

I not only allege that Ms. Tilly discriminated against me on 1) religiousgrounds,2)-I petition for a grade change, and 3) I still allege she has not the knowledge to grade a paper using pre-Revolutionary Russia Theological sources! I want a formal hearing about my complaints against: David, Louise, Shealy, Nicholas, and now I am bordering on suing the school in general!

Respectfully Submitted,

Jill L Starr

Not only has David Plotke thrown me, Jill Starr, a permantanly disbaled student out oft he New School’s Graduate faculty Dept. of Political Science without any prior written / or oral notice on April 22 1999 for harboring “Anti-NATO views” HE DID IT AT KNIFEPOINT!! He had his swiss army knife pointed right at me as he tried to bribe me into leaving the NSSR! When I told him that “I do not accept bribery” he came at me with his pointed KNIFE”!

Louise Tilly failed me in a required class (c-) and PLotke said that my religious discrimination was “NOT UP FOR DISCUSSION”! Plotke also told me “YOU PERMANANT DISBAILITIES ARE NOT UP FOR DISCUSSION”! And I am both permanantly physically and emotionally discabled, although I managed to obtain both nationaland int’l honors before PLOTKE TOSSED ME OUT OF SCHOOL!

Unfortunately, it does still happen John.
All government’s retain some measure of control over the basics in their respective countries; one way or another.
This is whereby governments retain their power right (?)

101 political science.

Nice hearing from you -

About Me

Jill Starr
I grew up traveling the world with my parents at age 7. I remember being on the island of Java in 1970/71 going swimming in the pool at Hotel InterContinentel surrounded by armed soldiers; and, and flying over Vietnam and my father pointing out "look Jill we are flying over Vietnam now..." with my Mom. The interesting thing was no commercial airlines flew over Vietnam unti. about one decade ago and certainly not in the 1970s.
