  • Email to Baruch College about the journalism internship.

    Greetings Baruch College, 

    I always treat everyone at Baruch College respectfully no matter what. 

    Treating everyone at Baruch College and CUNY politely and respectfully is more important than anything.

    Without respect we have chaos. 

    I’m doing a little polite and respectful investigative journalism right now. 

    I don’t think it’s fair that if a student has connections, they can take an with very little if any homework.

    If a student doesn’t have contacts like me to land an internship, they have to take a class which is 20X the amount of work as an internship. 

    Please let me know who makes the decisions pertaining to the Baruch College journalism internship? 

    I would like to try and contact the person/people. 

    I know when interacting with a government school there are a lot of people involved. 

    I understand that everyone at Baruch College/CUNY are doing their best for students. 

    I don’t have connections to get an internship. 

    I don’t have time to contact thousands of news websites in all 50 states to find someone who will give me an internship.

    I started contacting news websites and they don’t want me for whatever reason. 

    It’s very competitive. 

    Luckily anyone can start a blog and video channel for $100 so I can be an independent journalist. 

    I would love $100,000 per year from mainstream news media although realistically it’s not happening at 49 years old. 

    I’m confident from past experience that I’m going to have to take the JRN 4900 class. It’s no big deal. 

    I would like to ask whoever is in charge if I can intern for a Baruch College or any CUNY school news website/paper. 

    I don’t see the difference.

    The professor you referred me to who is in charge of the journalism internship told me to contact local news websites. 

    Why not a CUNY news website? 

    I like writing articles and see how things run. 

    Working for a school paper should be the alternative in my humble opinion. 

    Working for a school paper is something that would have value to a CUNY graduate school. 

    Please let me know who makes the decision so I can politely and respectfully contact the individuals or person. 

    If they say no which I assume they will, I’ll gladly take the JRN 4900 class which rate my professors says is 20X the amount of work as the internship that all the (some word I’m not sure what, desirable, connected, smart) students are landing except me. 

    Working for a CUNY school news website is closer to a journalism internship than taking a class. 

    Working for a school news website would give me some articles I could utilize of examples of my work. 

    Please advise. 

    Thank you and have a great day.

  • Email to NYC colleges to try and get a scholarship.

    Greetings, 

    My name is Mark Pine. 

    I’m a journalism major at Baruch College. 

    I have a 3.7 GPA with six classes left to graduate. 

    Fall 2025 will be my last semester at Baruch College.

    I’ll have four classes left to graduate. 

    The four classes I need to graduate are Biology and Biology Lab, journalism internship, and Math.

    That’s it. 

    I ran out of student loans. 

    I only took 4 classes per semester. 

    I took a few classes that don’t count towards graduation. 

    That’s how I landed in this situation. 

    I’m trying to see if another Manhattan college has some type of scholarships for me to take the classes and graduate. 

    I don’t have a criminal record. 

    I don’t do anything illegal.

    Long story short individuals I know pay the New York City police to sabotage and harass people including me without any legitimate reason. 

    It’s all going to work out.

    I’m making the best of it. 

    If you Google me you can see recent photos and videos. 

    I mostly talk about the police harassing me on the internet. 

    I’m trying to get the word out to get help. 

    I’m also trying to raise money for startups. 

    I’m trying to turn lemons into lemonade.

    If there is a possibility to get a scholarship to your school please let me know. 

    If you know of any scholarships I can apply for to pay for Baruch College please let me know. 

    I need about $7000 to graduate from Baruch College. 

    If you require additional information please let me know. 

    Contact me anytime. 

    I’m more than happy to send my transcript, etc. 

    If you would like to confirm any of the following information with Baruch College the email is…

    I always treat everyone at Baruch College respectfully. 

    I never mention anything negative about the police or getting harassed in classes. 

    I’m 49 with zero criminal record. 

    I’m more than happy to prove that. 

    You don’t have to worry about me doing anything illegal because the NYPD is constantly harassing me and looking for any reason to lock me up. 

    I’m always polite, respectful and professional with students during student groups. 

    Besides student groups I keep to myself. 

    I’m not looking for dates or anything like that. 

    I prefer to network for business outside of school too due to my situation. 

    For example, I always let accredited investors I approach know upfront that the police are harassing me. 

    If you require additional information contact me anytime 247. 

    Thank you for reading. 

    Have a great day.

  • Email to Baruch College about the New York City police NYPD and their civilian people harassing me. 

    Greetings Baruch College, 

    I always treat everyone at Baruch College politely and respectfully.

    I always treat everyone at the New York Courts respectfully.

    I always treat everyone at the NYC Comptroller’s office respectfully. 

    I never mention anything negative to teachers or students. 

    Long story short I’m pro se suing the NYPD. 

    The police know because they received my notice of claims from the NYC Comptroller’s office. 

    There are a lot of good and bad cops. 

    I don’t have a criminal record. 

    I don’t do anything illegal. 

    People I know pay the police to harass me, it’s nothing personal. 

    The New York City police NYPD have been harassing me for my entire 40s and I’m 48. 

    The only reason I’m quickly mentioning this here is because the New York City police NYPD have billions of dollars and they wipe the floor with people in the blink of an eye. 

    The NYPD pays civilian women and men to crash into me, shove their phones in my face, blow weed and vape smoke in my face, yell at me, and many more audio, video, and phone scams. 

    For example, the NYPD has civilian women and men who don’t work for the government pick up government, law enforcement, and police phones to run scams on me, get audio they can take out of content, and try to get me kicked out of every place I go. 

    I’m keeping this email tame because it’s an email to Baruch College CUNY. 

    The New York City or Manhattan police made it very clear to me that they are going to get me kicked out of every place I go, get me kicked off public assistance, and a lot more. 

    From my experience some of the people who work for the federal, state, and city government don’t want to deal with civilians being harassed by law enforcement. 

    I don’t blame them. 

    I just wanted to let you know I’m walking on eggshells. 

    The people in charge of New York City law enforcement have billions of dollars and are some of the biggest gangsters in the city if not the biggest. 

    I’ve contacted more than 1,000 United States government offices and they won’t help. 

    I don’t blame them. 

    I’m making the best of the situation. 

    Whatever happens I’ll keep trying to elevate my life and help others. 

    There are people who have it a lot worse than me. 

    For example, people in prison getting harassed by law enforcement. 

    Once American law enforcement has you in a cage it’s a wrap. 

    Thank you and have a great day.

    Mark Pine

  • Baruch College student groups

    Greetings Law Enforcement, 

    Individuals I know pay various law enforcement to harass people including me for no reason. 

    United States law enforcement doesn’t have any oversight at all so they get away with it. 

    I know people who pay United States law enforcement for permission to beat women, commit fraud, steal money, and much more.

    They have been getting away with it for decades. 

    I’ve contacted more than 1,000 government offices about it and haven’t heard back. 

    Every year in New York colleges and high schools there are thousands or tens of thousands of complaints from students about students. 

    For some reason at Baruch College they just can’t get students into groups with each other quick enough, they share everyone’s personal information with each other, and things like that. 

    Of course, I never interact with any students outside of classes. 

    I’m polite and respectful during in class student groups.

    I’m not looking to network or get dates or anything like that. 

    I’ve had so many female and male Baruch College students harass me in class, after class, etc., harass me I lost count.

    I ignore them. 

    Another reason I avoid Baruch College students is because of the massive amount of academic cheating I see going on in my classes.

    I’ve reported it a few times and never hear back from CUNY so I stopped reporting it. 

    I see another one of my classes is now forcing the class to get into student groups. 

    I’m not sharing any of my personal information with students. 

    I’m not responding to any emails from students. 

    I’m not meeting with students outside of class.

    If any female or male student tries to talk with me outside of class I ignore her or him. 

    New York City law enforcement has had so many Baruch College students harass me I lost count. 

    I don’t want to say too much because I don’t want to get sued for defamation. 

    New York City law enforcement runs scams with civilians and then hides behind the defamation laws. 

    Thank you.

  • Email to HRA about my Spring 2025 Metrocard money.

    People I know pay New York City law enforcement to harass me.

    Therefore the NYPD and New York City law enforcement won’t let me work.

    I don’t have a criminal record.

    I don’t do anything illegal.

    I’m on public assistance (welfare) and I’m a full time senior at Baruch College.

    Today’s Date is January 26, 2025.

    Greetings HRA,

    Thank you again for all the help during the years.

    I know that HRA NYC does as much as humanly possible for everyone in NYC.

    I know there are other government agencies involved with public assistance and everyone has their own opinions on how it should run.

    All the HRA employees at 16th St Manhattan including the security guards are doing an excellent job.

    I’m a full time student at Baruch College.

    The Spring 2025 MetroCard money isn’t showing up in my account for some reason.

    CUNY Edge sent my schedule to TAG HRA.

    Please advise.

    Thank you and have a great day.

    Mark Pine. 

    Thank you for contacting the City of New York. Your message has been forwarded to the appropriate agency for review and handling.

    For future reference, your correspondence number is 1-1-425210

  • Email to Baruch College about individuals I know paying people to harass me.

    Greetings Baruch College CUNY,

    I’ll make this quick. 

    Of course I would never mention a word about this to anyone at Baruch College besides here. 

    People I know are paying one person after the next to harass me outside of school. 

    For example, robbing me, vandalizing my property, crashing into me, shoving their phones in my face, etc. 

    It’s been going on for years, long before I started at CUNY. 

    Even though the government won’t help me I keep in constant contact with them so it’s documented.

    For example, I call and email the FBI, police, and many other government offices every week. 

    I’ve contacted the FBI and police tens of thousands of times by phone, email, etc. 

    I’ve contacted more than 1,000 government and law enforcement offices. 

    One reason I mention this at school is because I have women and men in regular clothes harassing me constantly within blocks of Baruch College and throughout the rest of NYC. 

    I have no idea who they are or where they are coming from.

    The glass is half full.

    Making the best of it. 

    I’m focused on being polite, respectful, and earning money. 

    Thank you and have a great day. 

    Mark Pine

  • Email to Baruch College security about students harassing me.

    Greetings Baruch College Security,

    First and foremost the Baruch College security is great. 

    All the professors and staff at Baruch College are great. 

    I keep to myself in regards to Baruch College CUNY students. 

    When I interact with Baruch College students during mandatory in class groups, I’m polite, respectful, and professional. 

    I don’t socialize with Baruch College students. 

    I’m passing all my classes as always. 

    I’m not concerned with grades beyond passing, I’m concerned with earning a living. 

    I’m reporting some quick things. 

    There is nothing anyone at Baruch College CUNY can do about it. 

    I’m just covering myself. 

    I’ve reported everything here to dozens of government and law enforcement agencies and offices. 

    I suspect, individuals I know pay people to harass me for no reason besides they don’t like me.

    I’ve been getting harassed constantly for years. 

    It’s been going on long before I started at CUNY. 

    The individuals cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars.

    I’m making the best of it. 

    I’m working on startups and trying to elevate my life. 

    In the meantime I have female and male Baruch College students constantly harassing me.

    I ignore them. 

    For example, I have Baruch College students crash into me, shove their phones in my face, yell at me, scream at me, and much more. 

    I have no clue about their identities. 

    I ignore them. 

    I don’t know any Baruch College students by name. 

    The same thing is happening outside of school. 

    The NYPD has issued me more than 30 police reports with me as the victim.

    I always treat everyone at Baruch College with the utmost respect no matter how they treat me, including students or anyone who harasses me. 

    I have my eye on the prize and that’s money (financial freedom), not arguing with people I don’t know that are harassing me for unknown reasons or people are paying them. 

    The glass is half full. 

    It’s all going to work out. 

    I don’t drink. 

    I don’t smoke. 

    I don’t date. 

    I don’t have a criminal record. 

    Thank you and have a great day.

  • The famous in-class Baruch College leg bounce.

    Greetings,

    Right now, I’m sitting in class. 

    I’m not saying a word. 

    Two students, one female, one male, sitting next to me are kicking imaginary field goals over and over for 30 minutes at a time from their desks in class. 

    This is at a business school that is very difficult to get into.

    One student is sitting directly next to me and the other student is sitting right behind him. 

    They are kicking imaginary field goals over and over.

    I have no idea who the students are.

    I’m ignoring them. 

    This has been going on in almost all my classes for the last four years; it’s nothing new.  

    For the past four years I have dozens of Baruch College students crashing into me, shoving their phones in my face, harassing in the bathroom, in the subway stations near school, and much more. 

    I have no idea who any of them are and I never say a word to any of them.

    I just move away.

    In my opinion, people I know pay New York City law enforcement and their civilian lie and scam team to harass me constantly. 

    Of course, NYC law enforcement has Baruch College students harassing me during class. 

    Again, I have no idea who they are, I’m not looking at them, I’m not saying a word. 

    I just see them out of the corner of my eye. 

    The best thing you can do to someone whose job is to start arguments and fights with people on behalf of law enforcement is to ignore them, and that’s what I do. 

    Disclaimers:

    I always treat everyone at Baruch College with the utmost respect at all times. 

    That includes Baruch College staff, professors, security guards, and students. 

    Treating people at Baruch College and CUNY respectfully is more important than anything. 

    I never partake in any controversial conversations at Baruch College under any circumstances. 

    When I’m at Baruch College, I never say anything controversial, not even close. 

    I’m always very cautious regarding the way I act at Baruch College because it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. 

    I started my own content/journalism enterprise with the information I’ve learned at Baruch College. 

    So far, it’s earned $5.10.

    I have new revenue streams opening up. 

    Hopefully, the number will increase. 

    I would like for more people to find out about how CUNY can help them elevate their lives the way it’s helping me. 

    If people saw how much Baruch College and CUNY did for me in the past three years, they would sign up. 

    Since I started at CUNY, everything I’ve said at LaGuardia Community College and Baruch College is polite and respectful. 

    At Baruch College, I never say anything that’s even close to being offensive or disrespectful to anyone. 

    If someone at Baruch College pours a can of paint on my head and throws my laptop and phone out of the window, I won’t react negatively. 

    Believe me, it’s been tested.

    I will say thank you and walk away. 

    The same thing goes for the supermarket, coworking places, gyms, storage place, etc.

    My main goals at Baruch College are to treat everyone respectfully and graduate.

    I want to clarify a little further because this is so important. 

    I’m not giving any opinions in Baruch College classes or to anyone at Baruch College about controversial local, national, or global current events.

    Anyone at CUNY can say anything they would like. 

    I’m not. 

    There are plenty of topics to speak about that aren’t controversial. 

    I respect everyone’s opinions. 

    Even if a topic isn’t controversial, I’m still very cautious about people’s feelings. 

    Anyone can say anything they want at Baruch College to me or in front of me. 

    You won’t hear a complaint from me. 

    I’m not saying a word about anything even close to controversial. 

    Again, if a Baruch College student says every negative thing they can think of about me to my face, takes all my belongings, and throws them out the window of the vertical building, I will say thank you and walk away. 

    When I’m at Baruch College, I act like I’m under a microscope at all times. 

    There are plenty of places on the internet and outside of Baruch College where I can talk about anything I would like. 

    I don’t have any desire to discuss anything close to controversial with anyone at Baruch College.  

    I never have, and I never will. 

    I don’t socialize with anyone from Baruch College in or outside of Baruch College.

    I’m polite, professional, and respectful to Baruch College students when I’m placed in mandatory in-class student groups. 

    Once class is over, I respectfully keep to myself due to the massive number (thousands every year) of complaints from New York college students against New York college students. 

    I never share any personal contact information with anyone at Baruch College. 

    Respectfully, I’m not discussing any controversial local, national, or global current events with anyone at Baruch College.

    I’m not complaining about anything to anyone at Baruch College.

    Anyone at Baruch College can say anything they want to me or in front of me, and I’m not saying a word. 

    While I’m inside Baruch College, I’m only discussing topics that aren’t controversial. 

    For example, I like how New York City repaved many of the streets. 

    For example, I like the idea pertaining to developing apartments in the Financial District while simultaneously protecting New York City from future storms.

    Treating people respectfully is the most important thing for me at CUNY. 

    I hope everyone reaches their goals. 

    The only person I’m competing with is myself. 

    In my spare time I’m trying to raise money from professional accredited investors. 

    I’m working on a movie about people who take audio and video out of context with witnesses to get people in trouble. 

    For example, people take audio and video from once place to another place with witnesses to get people kicked out of places. 

    I’m also working on raising money for a bunch of additional startups. 

    If it works out I give a massive amount of credit to the professors and staff at CUNY, including Baruch College and LaGuardia Community College. 

  • Opinion: Email to Baruch College about law enforcement stealing my MetroCard money from the NYC welfare office. November 10, 2023.

    Greetings Dean,

    I always treat everyone from HRA / TAG and CUNY EDGE with the utmost respect at all times, no matter what.

    This has nothing to do with Baruch College CUNY EDGE.

    Baruch College CUNY EDGE is handling all my HRA documentation perfectly.

    Every semester for the past four years I receive MetroCard money from HRA because I’m a full-time CUNY student who receives public assistance.

    Last semester for the first time I didn’t receive the MetroCard money until a month after the semester started.

    This semester, Fall 2023, it’s November 10, 2023, and I still haven’t started receiving my MetroCard money.

    I would like permission to politely and respectfully contact the CUNY Edge offices at
    other CUNY schools and find out if this is a CUNY situation or if just certain students
    aren’t receiving their MetroCard money from HRA.

    Again, this has nothing to do with Baruch College CUNY EDGE.

    Baruch College CUNY EDGE handles my documents perfectly with HRA.

    If the answer is yes, great, thank you.

    If the answer is no, of course, I’m not going to contact other CUNY schools CUNY EDGE offices.

    Please let me know if you have any additional idesdas.

    Is there a student advocate or anyone else I can contact via email?

    I’m also going to see if there are any City Council offices I can visit locally.

    Baruch College CUNY EDGE submitted all my documents for Fall 2023 perfectly.

    I mentioned the situation about the MetroCard and they said to contact HRA / TAG, which is the proper procedure.

    https://www.nyc.gov/site/hra/help/types-training-education.page

    HRA / TAG told me there is a problem with the computer software at HRA.

    I politely and respectfully asked if all NYC college students stopped receiving their
    MetroCard money or if it was just a select group of students.

    HRA / TAG I think responded by saying some students are receiving their MetroCard and some aren’t.

    I could be wrong because they didn’t provide a definitive answer.

    I also contacted HRA here and they are ignoring me:

    https://www.nyc.gov/assets/home/mail/html/mailhra.html

    Please advise if possible.

    Thank you and have a great day.
