Dear John Sexton, I want to thank you. From the video footage I've seen, the situation that arose at the town hall the other night was absolutely embarrassing. As an NYU student who cares about NYU, and appreciates what you do and how much you put into our university, I am so sad that my fellow students could be so misinformed, and behave so disrespectfully towards you, towards the other students who attended the town hall, and the student government that organized the event. Whether or not we oppose or support the Occupy Wall Street movement, I think we - those that are ashamed of our mannerless and immature peers - can agree that you handled the situation with courtesy and respect, though none was offered to you. Thanks again, Your students P.S. We owe YOU a hug.

The administration remains silent while those disruptive protesters continue to poison the campus climate. I am currently reaching out to faculty who are just as fed up with this immature behavior as we are.

The massive wave of support clearly proves that NYU students have had enough of the toxic entitlement displayed by these agitators. It is high time for the administration and the public to see that respect and decency are still the standard for the majority of us.

This is ridiculous. The mob mentality was totally out of control. Thanks for everything you do for the school.

Finally someone said it. It was embarrassing to watch as a fellow student. Keep your head up John.

Glad he kept his cool. Most people would have just walked out but he stayed and tried to talk. We need more leadership like that.

Completely agree. Watching that video was honestly so cringey. They acted like children and he was a total professional. So sorry he had to deal with that.

Well said. The way they treated him was straight up bullying. Not what a university town hall should ever look like.
