I thought Princeton was one place in the Ivy League where this would not happen. Smh. I hoped at least Princeton would be a bastion of conservatism in the elite universities.
You were probably thinking of Penn.
But, honestly, no Ivy is actually 'conservative'.
Princeton was conservative 45 years ago. MIT may be the exception you are looking for. Engineering schools aren't exactly conservative, but they tend to be neutral and maybe lean just a little to the right in believing that math/physics is just as applicable in the US as South Africa as Mars.
I see a bunch of entitled rich kids who don't understand that their very education is largely being funded by the people they're protesting.
MIT is a military research lab that awards academic degrees.
This.
Haha. MIT= Ivy-wannabe.
It captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.
This is embarrassing for higher education as a whole. Are these really the most capable students in the country?
They are talking about predatory lending practices...I refuse to even acknowledge that term, except in cases of outright deception on the part of the lender (in which case you have legal recourse).
Why are they mouthing off to some poor recruiter? They are just making the school look bad.
Protesting OCR is truly worthless. The nice ladies in HR are going to do.....exactly what? These are the same type of assholes that heckle returning soldiers because they disagree with something some general decided to do: It's not fair and it's not right. I have many of the same complaints they do, but they should know better.
They are, if I am to understand correctly, the nation's best and brightest???
JPM, ditch Princeton and come to COLUMBIA! We want to work for you!!! :p
Based on the output of their econ department, it doesn't surprise me.
Hilarious. It looks like two of the recruiters are Asian. I wonder what their parents, people who had to suffer through REAL poverty, make of the OWS protesters.
Lol @ protesting predatory lending in a TSS presentation
They need to occupy IBD, not some treasury security shit...
You seem to have missed this (they had a Goldman IBD info session on lock):

Lol. This is why I need to work at GS. So I could laugh at these simple-minded losers. How can people at PRINCETON be a voice for the 99%? lol I probably am in the 1% in their view, 1% of their parents' net worth that is.
don't be shocked at this. when rummy was due to come back for his 50th, he quietly had lunch at the faculty club and scrammed out of there. iraq war wasn't too popular in them parts.
Ya this wouldn't happen at Hopkins or MIT guaranteed.
It would happen when Harvard students came over. Then some MIT student would test out his noise deactivation device and laugh hysterically as the room when silent.
lolm, nevermind. gotta love illini's dedication to the engineering schools. ;)
Haha, fair enough. My impression has always been that MIT and Cornell have some of the lowest Arrogance/Competence ratios of the northeastern private schools. That said, MIT is the more conservative one, from what I have seen.
In the Nation's service and in the service of all nations....wtf does this even mean??? what a bunch of communists...unbelievable!
I'm sorry reading comprehension is so hard for you.
You don't have to be sorry....unless you are one of these damn stinking socialists
^
hey
watch your words
One of the Asian recruiter chick doesn't cross her legs..
^ Haha, I'm starting to feel sorry for Princeton ahaha.
Unwarranted comment removed
Fuck it. I'm not in the mood for an argument. :)
Princeton is pretty liberal... All of HYPMWS is extremely liberal...
Also Columbia is a great school... it was once my top choice :)
Solidarity, you ended up getting what 99.999999999999% of Columbia students can only dream about. :) You should have been Columbia's top-choice. :)
Actually, Penn isn't so liberal. Only Ivy that has a greater number of college republicans than democrats loi. Columbia, on the other hand, is just radical liberal. -.- You should see some of the insane protests that happen on campus.
if i were a junior at princeton right now id be livid
Dude reality check
No one at Princeton "wants" to work at an investment bank
I do love that they occupied TTS. The best comment is that TTS is "like the mail room of finance"
I would be pissed if I went to Princeton and this happened. If you don't want to work for a bank, fine, but don't screw me over by driving away OCR. The Occupy movement here at Duke died awhile ago. Right now they have an empty tent set up on the Chapel Quad. You know you have a cause worth fighting for when they can't muster support to "occupy" during Thanksgiving (because everyone wanted to go home) or after break (because of finals / cold). lol
here in the west coast, we don't meet a lot of folks from princeton. this video will be the first thing that comes to mind whenever i hear about the school.
This is what happens when parents allow kids to have a complete free ride. A few years earning their keep might teach these scumbags a little humility.
I ask, what right do these protesters have to ruin, interrupt and potentially damage a relationship with the university because of what they believe. Freedom of speech also includes respecting others freedom to speech. Seems to me this OWS disease is all about destroying opposition speech.
I'm sure if there was damage to the rep of Princeton with recruiters, which I doubt, I'm sure they'll be repercussions.
Saying that, I'm for their freedom of speech, but there was little point of this stunt, and the audience (the recruiters) was completely the wrong one. If I wanted to do such a thing, I'd organise something on one of the super day invites they may get.
LOL way to ruin all your classmates' chances at working.
When I go to recruiting, I am going to show up with a boombox and aerosmith CD. When someone shouts "Mike Check", we will begin playing "Bye Bye Baby Blue", hand out documents stating where you can submit resumes, and leave the room.
Agreed. These actions seem to be completely out of place and moronic.
^Hahahah!
what to do if your target: Occupy occupy JPM Princeton.. Or for non-target , sneak into information sessions from target schools and OCCUPY
Either way this is lolz except for the kids at Princeton lol
what a group of retards...
have fun with your 30k/ year shitty non-profit gig after Princeton and look back at this video, and say "WTF was I doing? I should have applied and gotten a job in IBD while I was at Princeton. FML, and fuck Occupy Wallstreet"
Dear JPM, Since the Ivies don't want you, all we non-targets would love you to give us OCR, we actually want to be in IB and bitch a lot less. Regards, The Non-Targets
Also WTF is up with the we are the 99%, you're at fucking Princeton. You are privileged. They bitch about predatory lending, no one shove a gun to people's head and said sign on the dotted line. Mountaintop removal mining is a nice issue to protest in comfortable suburban New Jersey, but it means decent paying jobs in one of the poorest parts of the US, I'd love to show these kids rural poverty and ask if it's right to not allow people to make use of their own resources. This is a bunch of book smart, common sense deprived kids, kvetching about privilege and being locked out of the "1%", while the "evil" banks are recruiting there, do they not understand the irony or is that concept absent in the Marxist dialectic?
It's the millionaires versus the billionaires. The rich versus the merely wealthy, Marx and Engels must be laughing their asses off.
Seriously though the rhetoric was horrible, complaining about mountaintop removal mining, go to Pittsburgh or Charlestown or the Coal belt. Tell the workers for whom mining represents a middle class lifestyle if the environment is worth living in squalor for. How is this related to JPM, I suppose they raise capital for companies that do, but that's a rather indirect tie.
JPM was never what I would call a particularly egregious lender, they made home loans and people defaulted and they attempted to repossess the homes, nothing immoral in that.
Being privileged doesn't take away your right to speak up against injustice. This is like telling a white person they shouldn't speak up in favor of civil rights simply because they aren't currently being harmed.
If people want to protest how about protesting in DC the overly cozy relationship between lobbyists and congress? How about regulation that favors big business, think about all the back office compliance people we have in banks. This regulation is difficult for small companies to comply with. If people want a level playing field, protest to gut the tax code, if I wrote it would be 2 pages, one for rates on income, the other for charitable and business deductions.
The popular furor should be aimed at a government which promotes crony capitalism. There never should have been TARP. Creative destruction is a principle of capitalism.
Please show me the injustice. Mountaintop mining is great for poor Appalachian communities, it means good jobs. That's why states like WV and KY support it wholeheartedly. Predatory lending, were people forced at gun point to take out these loans? Let's be intellectually honest here, there was no injustice here.
I didn't say there was injustice or that they had a valid reason for protesting. Just that being at princeton alone does not give them any less of a right to protest or mean that their opinion is any more or less relevant.
But if there was no injustice then isn't it irrelevant to protest?
the injustice was the fed robbing all savers of the value of their money so they could hand cheap capital to their wall street cronies to gamble on risk assets and rob the savers even more when said cronies' gambles go sour and need to be bailed out with more taxpayer cash and inflationary monetary expansion-generated cash.
I disagree with TARP and bailouts generally and think that fiat currency is untenable in the long term, I support auditing the fed and ultimately ending it and going to a currency standard based on tangible assets i.e. federally owned land, gas and oil rights, gold, silver etc.
as a guy who has money, i continue to be robbed blind. ironic that it isn't me rioting in the streets. yes, gold and silver are our only protections against the fed's economic crimes against all holders of the USD. i'm getting ready to buy the dip if XAU hits 1200.
