Occupy Wall Street Journal
NYC General Aseembly
Arts & Culture proposal
Sept 26, 2011 - ???

Many groups have come out to occupy Wall Street, in New York City. Before the occupation, there was the NYC General Assembly, a supposedly flat organization with no leaders, purely the voice of the people who attended. Since then more power players like Creative Time and The Yes Men, The Indypendant have flocked to the fest... NyTimes, New York Magazine, The Village Voice , The New York Observer have all covering the story incorrectly, since they have no clue what horizonal organization looks like.

 

 

 

come see what we are upto....

Columbia University, MFA Fine Arts

$89,784 total / $22,446 per semester. This is tuition only, there are also other fees for facilities, etc which add up to an additional $1,664 per semester, bring a 2 yr MFA to $96,400, making education at Columbia University the most over priced MFA.

Pratt, MFA Fine Arts

$75,780 total / $18,945 per semester. Pratt doesn't even list the tuition and fees up front. You have to download this pdf, and when you do, it doesn't directly list the per credit cost to obtain Pratt's 60 credit MFA in Fine Arts. I was surprised to find Pratt to be more expensive than SVA given the location in Brooklyn.

Parsons, MFA Fine Arts

$72,240 total / $18,060 per semester. Parsons and Pratt are neck and neck for second place in overprices MFA programs. I spoke to one Parsons student that said it was worth it because you get good visiting artist, but that's not the case, if your school has a art student union you can usually invite any artists to visit your school. These are Parsons MFA Fine Arts tuition for 2009-2010 school year, I bet it's gone up a couple thousand for next semester, You'd think they would update the info by now?

School of Visual Arts , MFA Fine Arts

$63,000 total / $15,750 per semester. SVA doesn't list the fees for Fine Arts, but you can get an idea how much more tuition will be here.

CUNY Schools:
Brookyln College, MFA
City College, MFA
Hunter College, MFA
Queens College, MFA

$14,720 / $3,680 per semester NY state residents. Out of state is $575 per credit/MFA is 48 credits, so about $27,600 Out of state for the entire degree- still 1/3 of the cost of the other schools. This is a realistic option in the sense that you can work, take out a few loans and pay for your tuition, averaging $1,050 per month.

But still, research the three big factors: location, faculty, studio, and post-graduation assistance, i.e. network for alumni., when choosing a school.

US Resumes Arms Sales to Bahrain, Despite Human Rights Violations

RussiaToday reports that United States has publicly announced that it will resume to supply Bahrain with weapons, despite protest by Human Rights Groups and despite the pro-democracy protesters and citizens of Bahrain.

“Washington claims that delivering weapons to Bahrain is crucial for providing security in the region. Bahrain is situated on a strategic island in the Persian Gulf opposite Iran. For more than 60 years it has served as the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet headquarters.”
