Dean Allyson Green shared a video with students that featured her dancing to 'Losing My Religion' by R.E.M.
The dean of New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts is facing criticism from students after she included what is being called a “tone-deaf”to R.E.M.’s “Losing My Religion” alongside an email denying students’ requests for a tuition refund.
In that email, which was obtained by PEOPLE, Green wrote that she did not have the authority to refund tuition, but that having to switch to remote learning was costing the school “millions,” and that NYU was still paying for the Tisch facilities and equipment despite the fact that students could no longer use them.As for the video, she wrote that she wanted to play a song that “gets me going again, even in the darkest moments. If you don’t want to hear that now, don’t watch.
“What I meant to demonstrate is my certainty that even with the unprecedented hardships of social distancing and remotely-held classes, it is still possible for the Tisch community to make art together, and that all the artists in our school will find ways to remain closely connected even as circumstances challenge us,” she wrote.
