The New School Summary

The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.

The New School is an institution of higher learning in New York City, located around Greenwich Village in Lower Manhattan. The school was known as The New School for Social Research from its founding in 1919 until 1997, then renamed to New School University, and received its current name in 2005. The name “The New School for Social Research” is today used for the university’s graduate division, which originally was called The University in Exile and later Graduate Faculty of Political and Social Science. The University in Exile later became the New School’s Graduate Faculty of Political and Social Sciences. True to its origin and its firm roots within the “University in Exile,” The New School for Social Research, particularly its Department of Philosophy, is one of very few in the United States to offer students thorough training in the modern continental European philosophical tradition known as “Continental philosophy.” In June of 2005, the university was officially renamed “The New School” and, in order to better promote the New School affiliation of each of the divisions, the academic units were renamed to prominently feature the New School name: The New School for General Studies, The New School for Social Research, Milano The New School for Management and Urban Policy, Parsons The New School for Design, Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts, Mannes College The New School for Music, The New School for Drama, and The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music. Some faculty, students, and alumni have expressed concern over the re-branding of the university, and especially the dramatic redesign of the logo from a six-sided shield against a green background to a spray-painted graffiti mark reading simply, in capital letters, “THE NEW SCHOOL” with, in smaller letters beneath, “A UNIVERSITY.” As a result of a near strike in November 2005 on the part of the adjunct faculty, the ACT-UAW union negotiated its first contract which included the acknowledgement of previously unrecognized part-time faculty at Mannes College The New School for Music.
