People Are Furious Over The Lack of Clean Water At The New School

In case you’ve been living under a rock, or on Sixth Avenue, a water main break in front of The New School’s University Center  has left seven buildings on campus without clean water. That means no washing hands, no drinking water, and no taking showers.

Having to leave university buildings, and walk a few blocks, for decent bathroom usage is now a reality. And, as expected, members of The New School community are fuming.

This is what people are saying.


This Parsons professor kept calm and cool.


Everything will be working soon, right? Right?!?


Nowhere to pee… Yay!!!


At least the last water main break was nice enough to happen during winter break.


And just because it’s art school, here is a beautiful photo of “Our Crumbling Infrastructure.”
