These poor, helpless students who had no choice but to go to a university requiring internships have a RIGHT to graduate. There is no recourse for the slave like dropping out or transferring credits. This institution must be abolished and by Zeus, my calcium-depleted bones will not rest until I topple this evil empire!

If I were a freed slave, I'd be bullshit at your suggestion that a voluntary unpaid internship is the same as slavery. I'd also be bullshit at your assertion that higher education is an inalienable right. Oh, the ironing.


Higher education is not an inalienable right. But demanding to be financially compensated for serving someone (that you don't volunteer to serve) is Constitutional. These students are not criminals and their desire to NOT intern, is a legitimate one. A university has no place or right requiring students serve for free, anywhere. You might be able to get away with that in other countries, but students shouldn't have to tolerate that crap, here.

that's correct, i never had to do any internships.

now, the first school that I attended did have internships (the bulk of which were unpaid) but that was only for the liberal arts majors, mostly those who wanted to work in CJ, Journalism, etc, especially photography. it wasn't that way for Comp Sci (I don't know of ANY engineering on Comp Sci students who would ever have worked for free), but I would have had to do a Co-Op. At the time, the Comp Sci Co-Ops only paid about $11-$13/hour, maybe a smidgen more, but that was still pretty good "kid" money for upstate New York in the late 1980s.

I think those unpaid internships are mostly just for theater, journalism, English majors, maybe business administration, economics, etc. You aren't going to see that with the techies, so to speak. I guess I can understand why so many of you here vehemently defend the irrationality of the unpaid internship, too many of you had to do them at BC, probably figure that since you had to do them, so does everyone else.

Another swing and a miss - I've never done an unpaid internship either and never plan to. Most people are vehemently letting you know they aren't slavery nor illegal, not necessarily defending the practice. Some people are defending the practice, but it's only when done under the right circumstances - certainly not for fetching coffee and picking the underwears out of your crack. So once again, you're pretty much off on all accounts.

Unlike you, most people don't broadly generalize and constantly makes words synonymous with words they are not even close to synonymous with. Eh, at least this has taken my mind off of real life for a bit. You wanna split a Sandusky Sundae?

Move to Europe. Until then, STFU.

And the Supreme Court has thus far been smart enough to think your theory is retarded. In fact, I bet more than one of them did an unpaid internship at some point. Some are old enough to have been young lawyers when apprenticeships were in vogue, the early 1800s.

A lot of stuff (legal and a-okay with the Constitution and the Supreme Court) was in vogue, in the early 1800s.

Megan's take on Penn State....

http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2011/11/the-inexplicable-events-at-penn-state/248287/

Megan {l Wrote}:Like everyone else around here, I'm trying to wrap my brain around exactly what happened at Penn State. Until yesterday, I had been somewhat vague on exactly what the graduate student saw; naturally, I'd assumed it was considerably more ambiguous than the grade jury report suggests. How do you walk in on someone clearly having anal sex with a 10-year old, and then walk out again?

(I apologize for the graphic description, but a surprising number of people, as I was, seem to be a bit confused about what the graduate student actually saw. The answer turns out to be "almost the worst thing you can imagine".)

Actually, I can forgive the walking out. No, really, I can. I can imagine myself walking in on a scene so horrible that I couldn't quite believe that it was actually happening. I can imagine it taking me as long as five minutes to convince myself that no, really, it actually happened, and either walk back in there and do the right thing, or fetch someone else who would do it with me.


I don't think I would have walked out. I think I probably would have been arrested for doing bodily harm to Sandusky. Of course, you never really know what you are physically capable of until you are put in the situation.
