I'm an alum of The New School, and this headline is very misleading and designed to get you to roll your eyes about the "privileged" young people. Yet if you've been following this story, you'd know the students are working to support the adjunct/part-time faculty who were on strike due to issues surrounding their contracts (including low pay). They have reached a tentative agreement with the administration to change the terms of these contracts to include pay for work outside the classroom, better healthcare access, raises, and paid family leave. This is an issue of labor rights, not of young people wanting an "easy A."
