I would like to remind other villagers that NYU's student population of 40,000 individuals does indeed compromise a large portion of the village's population and should be viewed as an integral part of the community. NYU as an institution has been in the village longer than any of its current living residents and is itself a major part of the village's atmosphere. It's time for a reality check people. As a dynamic and growing institution it is obviously necessary to build new buildings and update its facilities. Isn't it amazing how the village turned itself around after NYU reinvested heavily in its facilities in the 1970s? NYU is also cultivating the future of the city's highly skilled intelligent workforce, so give it the respect it deserves.
