I just got out of the emergency room at the hospital about an hour ago. Nothing COVID-related or contagious, something else.
This semester I’m taking three writing classes total. One is about grammar. I am very excited to improve my skills as a writer.
Thank you for the information.
I sent you the assignment due on September 20, 2021. The television show project is fantastic and a lot of fun to work on.
I’ve already begun work on homework for the class that isn’t due until October and November.
It’s not a question about putting in the work. It’s a question about safety and respect for others.
I would think many students wouldn’t want to be in pairs with homeless people. The same goes for their parents.
I live in the street and subway. I have been homeless for five years.
I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I don’t party. I don’t have a criminal record.
I have a place to shower and keep clean clothes.
I’m optimistic I’ll have a roof over my head one day soon with the resources and opportunities provided for me by HRA and CUNY.
As a 45-year-old street homeless person, I don’t think it’s a good idea to mix with students.
All I need is a D average to stay at Baruch College. So far I have a 4.0 and 3.975 after 4 full-time semesters.
I’d be happy with a D. If I deserve an F, I’ll take an F. I’d prefer a D 🙂
It looks to me like student interaction is only about 5 to 10 percent of the total grade. If I receive a zero on those assignments I should be able to earn a C or D overall.
I respect your position and understand that I’ll receive a zero on those assignments.
I love Baruch College. I’m actually at school right now studying even though all classes are canceled this week.
I’m going to spend seven days a week at school every day until the end of the semester, so I can have all my schoolwork turned in on time or early. That and I don’t have anywhere else to charge my devices.
After I graduate from Baruch College, my goal is to attend Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY.
You have always been very helpful to me. I have the maximum amount of respect for you and all my professors. That is in addition to all the staff at Baruch College. This college is remarkable.
Baruch College is the best opportunity ever, especially for me.
I don’t want to waste your time with a long email, so I will keep this email brief.
Before I started at Baruch College, I had nothing. Now I have a smartphone, laptop, winter coat, shoes, a place to shower, food, etc.
In the meantime, I’m contacting members of the city council and people who work for the federal, state, and city governments trying to get a new rule set for students that want to maintain their privacy at schools.
Thank you and have a great day.
Ever upward,

I always treat everyone at Baruch College with the utmost respect at all times.
That includes staff, professors, security guards, and students.
Treating people respectfully is more important than anything.
I never participate in controversial conversations at Baruch College out of respect for people’s feelings.
I love Baruch College and The City University of New York. It’s the best opportunity ever.
First and foremost, I treat everyone at Baruch College with the utmost respect at all times. That includes professors, staff, security guards, and students. Treating people respectfully is more important than anything.
I understand that everyone is doing their best and CUNY is a great school.
Everything you’re saying makes perfect sense. I respect and understand your position.
I believe that my point of view is compelling as well.
1. This is my situation. There are some students, including me, that are not allowed to choose their classes at the same time as other students. The students in my category have to wait 3 days after other students choose the classes they want.
By the time I’m allowed to choose the classes I want, a lot of them are already filled up. Therefore I am very limited with the classes that are available now.
2. I have had several students at Baruch College and LaGuardia Community College single me out, insult me, and yell at me for reasons that I don’t know.
I never partake in controversial conversations at school. I also have no idea who any of the students are.
I did not respond. I reported the students to security and they told me the video cameras were broken. I was also told not to contact security again.
3. I am in the process of speaking with City Council offices and other city/government agencies to try and be excused from having to get into groups with students.
The process is going to take time. It’s not going to happen by this semester.
4. There are thousands of complaints from students against students and students against professors and staff in New York every year including several at CUNY.
In addition to many people who are banned from CUNY, I think there are some facing criminal charges.
I can’t even believe the number of complaints is as high as it is but it’s true.
There have even been professors and staff from CUNY quoted in the mainstream press about the alarmingly high number of complaints from students against students and students against professors and staff.
There have been mainstream media coverage of issues between students at Baruch College that I’m not going to name here out of respect for the victims.
Just to let you know a little bit about me. If someone poured a can of paint on my head at Baruch College or CUNY I would not say a word.
I love Baruch College. It’s the best opportunity ever. Baruch College has opened doors for me.
As I mentioned in a previous email I have been living in the street homeless for 5 years. I don’t like the shelters. I hope with the inspiration provided by Baruch College that I have a roof over my head one day soon.
So far at LaGuardia Community College, I had a 3.975 GPA with 36 credits. Clearly, I was not disruptive, I was a model student.
At Baruch College last semester I earned a 4.0 GPA with 12 credits. I believe my professors would say I was a positive contribution to my classes. With that being said I did not interact with any students.
I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I don’t party. I don’t do anything illegal. I don’t have a criminal record. I have places to shower and keep clean clothes.
I’ll be respectful to everyone as I always am. If you have to give me an F for keeping to myself I understand. I don’t take it personally.
On Rate My Professors all the students say you’re as good as it gets. That’s why I’m excited to take your class, even if it earns me an F and it’s the last class I take because I failed out of Baruch College.
I’d prefer to fail out of school because of a grade than having a student make up lies about me for unknown reasons.
One time at LaGuardia Community College I was in a classroom with a security camera. A student stands up in the middle of class and starts yelling at me.
I have no idea who the person is. I picked up my things and moved to the other side of the room. If I had any interaction with the student in a student group or any conversation the student could have made up any lie they want about me and it would be their word against a 45-year-old homeless person.
Another time at Baruch College a student started insulting me during a Zoom class. I ignored the person.
I didn’t even have a laptop when I started at LaGuardia Community College, I was living in the street, and I earned all As.
If a student asks me a question in your class I will respectfully say I don’t know and go back to minding my business.
I’m confident there are a lot of CUNY parents that would not want their children breaking into groups with 45-year-old homeless people who live in the street.
I mostly sleep on subway platforms. I’m going to avoid sleeping anywhere near Baruch College so no one from there sees me. Sometimes I sleep on the steps at the 77 St subway and places like that. Not 68 St because that’s Hunter College 🙂
I promise I have never, nor will I ever be disruptive. If you have to fail me I respect your decision.
I did interact with students when I was working at the LaGuardia Community College library. I never had any issues. There were security cameras and I was helping students print their essays.
This is a tiny fraction of the articles about this topic. There is a CUNY Professor quoted in the first article. I would contact him and thank him but they told me I’m not allowed so I’m not.
Let’s say I’m talking with a student in class. A few weeks later I run into the student in the subway or the student sees me sleeping on the floor in the subway or something like that. Let’s say the student says I think that homeless guy from my class is following me.
What’s going to happen to me?
Who is going to stand up for me?
CUNY is spending millions of dollars for lawyers right now to defend teachers and staff from student accusations. It’s public information.
Anyone can say what they want about me. I’m respectful but I’m not interacting with students unless it’s to respectfully say I don’t know or I’m working for RF CUNY the HRA job program at Baruch Collge.
One thing about me is I am never disruptive and I’m never disrespectful.
I like people. I’m a people person. I’m just not socializing with students at Baruch College when there are thousands of complaints from students against students and students against professors and staff every year at New York colleges.
In regards to participating in class, I love to participate in class, with the teacher.
I used to provide web marketing services to companies for about $1,000 per month for each customer.
I came across people all the time who needed my help but didn’t have the money. I helped dozens of people without charging them.
My goal in life is to be happy, successful, and have a positive impact on my community. I’m not going to get from homeless to that position by partaking in risky behavior.
It’s clear that at New York colleges, everyone needs to move cautiously because there are thousands of people connected with New York Colleges, that have to fend off complaints every year.
Baruch College is all I have so I have to protect it.
Thank you and have a great day.

I always treat everyone at Baruch College with the utmost respect at all times.
That includes staff, professors, security guards, and students.
Treating people respectfully is more important than anything.
I love Baruch College and The City University of New York.
First of all, I love Baruch College and CUNY. I’m having the best time ever.
My professors are amazing. The support staff is amazing. Baruch College CUNY is the best opportunity ever.
I finished almost all my schoolwork for the Fall 2021 semester about a month early. College is my number one priority.
I’m not sure who I’m supposed to contact about the tuition that I owe, so I’m contacting the three offices. Please let me know if there is anyone else I should contact about this matter.
I’m signed up for two classes this summer 2021. The online Baruch College website says I owe $459 for summer 2021 in addition to my financial aid.
If I drop one of the summer classes and only take one class this summer, would that lower the amount of money I have to pay to attend Baruch College this summer?
If yes, I’ll drop one summer class and only take one class this summer instead of two.
Depending on how much I will have to pay to attend summer 2021 classes, I might not take any classes this summer.
It all depends on what the Department of Social Services / Human Resources Administration requires.
Please let me know if dropping one class and only taking one class this summer will lower the money owed when you can. Thank you:-)
If taking one class this summer isn’t included in my financial aid, I might take the summer off. I’ll make the decision after speaking with HRA and seeing what the cost is to take one class this summer instead of two.
The online Baruch College website says I owe $283 for Fall 2021. Can I pay that amount out of my Fall 2021 student loan refund? Or do I have to pay it before the semester starts?
If I’m allowed, I’ll pay the balance due for fall 2021 out of my Fall 2021 student loan refund. If I’m required to pay the balance before then, I’ll pay for the fall in the next few weeks.
Today I was in Central Park for a class. I broke my arm a few weeks ago and I had to go to the doctor today. I also had a wisdom tooth taken out this week. I was very tired.
While I was listening to the class today the sun knocked me out for a few minutes.
When I woke up someone had remotely gone into my Zoom account and turned on my microphone and camera. The phone was in the grass at Central Park.
I just don’t understand why someone is going into my phone remotely. This has happened several times.
I was told by Baruch College that we were allowed to pick our Fall 2021 classes on April 5th, 2021. I believe that was the date, I’m not sure.
All I know is when I went to pick my classes the online system at Baruch College wouldn’t allow me to sign up for classes. I politely and respectfully contacted the staff at Baruch College and asked what was wrong.
The staff at Baruch College told me that only certain students can pick their Fall 2021 classes on April 5, 2021. They said I would have to wait for three days until the other students were done choosing which classes they wanted first.
Three days later when I went to choose my classes the majority of online classes I wanted to sign up for were already filled by the students who were given early access to choose the classes they wanted.
That means I’m going to be on campus at Baruch College during Fall 2021.
I’m writing this quickly because I have a 12-page essay due soon and a bunch of other homework.
People I know pay the NYPD and their civilian team to torture me, attack me, rob me, destroy my property, follow me into stores and pick fights with me, and run every cointelpro ambush and scam on me that was ever created since the 1960s.
The NYPD blocked my phone number from calling any NYPD precinct, NYPD headquarters, NYPD internal affairs, New York FBI, US Attorney in Westchester, etc.
People I know have paid the NYPD and their civilian team to have me kicked out of Baruch College.
This is how they are going to try and do it.
The NYPD and their civilian team are going to have people crash into me, cut me off, try to start arguments with me, etc. anytime I’m anywhere near Baruch College. They started doing it already.
The NYPD and going to have girls cut me off, crash into me, etc. over and over to try and obtain video or photos that make it seem like I’m doing something wrong.
The NYPD and their civilian team are going to take audio they have of me from years of physically attacking me and say I said something nasty to someone at Baruch College. The NYPD has a budget in the billions of dollars. They will edit audio conversations to get innocent people in trouble. They also edit videos to get innocent people in trouble.
The NYPD is going to try and have Baruch College take away my college email and erase all the evidence out of it.
If you Google cointelpro those are the exact same scams that the NYPD runs all day every day in New York City.
I’ve decided that respectfully it would be best to 100% avoid any communication with students at Baruch College. I respectfully notified my professors that if I have to have my grades reduced I understand.
There are thousands of complaints from students about students every year in New York colleges. Also, I have had several students try and pick fights with me at CUNY already. I ignored them all. Needless to say, I treat all my professors with the utmost respect at all times. If I said or emailed one word to a professor or staff at Baruch College or CUNY that wasn’t one hundred percent respectful, I would be out of college in one second flat.
The NYPD and their civilian team are harassing me as I write this post.
There are no names or identifying information in this post. The NYPD and their civilian team will probably update the post later to sabotage me because all they do is lie and scam. That’s their job. Google “cointelpro” if you would like to learn more about it.
Greetings,
I always treat everyone at Baruch College with the utmost respect at all times. That includes staff, professors, students, and security guards. Treating people respectfully is more important than anything. I love Baruch College and The City University of New York. It’s the best opportunity ever.
Any time I interact with you or anyone at CUNY I will treat you and everyone else with the absolute utmost respect and courtesy.
I’m 100% not contacting anyone at CUNY about the NYPD and their civilian team torturing and sabotaging me.
What are the rules moving forward? If I have an issue that I would respectfully like to bring up via email should I contact your email, X’s email, or neither?
Going forward I’m only going to contact agencies outside of CUNY looking for help with the police torturing and sabotaging me. I have no issue with that. The higher-ups at CUNY know that I’m claiming the NYPD and their civilian team are torturing me, there is no reason to contact them again about it.
I plan on applying to CUNY graduate school after I graduate from Baruch College. Am I allowed to mention to the CUNY graduate schools that they will probably be receiving negative emails or messages on social media from my email accounts courtesy of the NYPD and their civilian team to sabotage me from attending CUNY graduate school?
The NYPD and their civilian team have been running scams like that on me for years.
Or am I not allowed to mention that to CUNY graduate school admissions?
The NYPD and their civilian team can go into any one of my accounts, send one nasty email, and I’m blocked from attending CUNY graduate schools which in my opinion are the best graduate schools in New York City.
Also, I love CUNY. I have the utmost respect for you, the entire CUNY staff, the professors, and the students.
What I am about to tell you next does not mean that I don’t love and respect CUNY because I do.
I have started the process to sue Baruch College.
There is no animosity attached to this lawsuit. I merely don’t see any other way to try and figure a few things out without a third party involved, in this case, the New York Courts.
I’m suing for three reasons.
I want to be excused from having to get into small groups with students.
I don’t understand why certain students are allowed to pick their classes three days before other students. Then when I go to select my classes the majority of the classes I want to take are full.
I would like to respectfully challenge having a negative letter on my permanent record because I respectfully emailed two public safety offices, the President of Baruch College, and the Chancellor at CUNY.
I’m patiently waiting for your response.
All my professors are amazing. I told them I would gladly accept any reduction in my grade that they see fit because I’m respectfully avoiding small groups with students.
Thank God they all said it’s OK because I don’t want to fail a class. That doesn’t mean I will continue to be so lucky in the future which is why I want to see what the New York Courts think about the student groups issue.
First and foremost I treat everyone at Baruch College CUNY with the utmost respect at all times, regardless if I get my way or not. That includes students, professors, and staff.
I love Baruch College. My professors are amazing. It’s the best opportunity for me.
The professor of the above class isn’t sharing the slides with the students. That’s fine. I can screen picture the slides as they pop up. The professor is great, that’s not the obstacle.
The issue is that people I know harass me beyond belief outside of school. They break my laptops, steal my phones, rip my clothes, attack me, go into all my email and social media accounts, and wreak havoc.
I can produce police reports where they take my debit card and steal my money. I can also show police reports where I have been robbed multiple times. Additionally, I have been denied police reports dozens of times by the NYPD.
I have been to NYC hospital emergency rooms dozens of times after being attacked. Thank God for welfare health insurance or I would owe hundreds of thousands of dollars. I’m sure the taxpayers are thrilled.
Even with all this, I have an optimistic attitude. I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I don’t party. I don’t do anything illegal. I’m confident if I stay on the right track everything will improve.
I understand there is probably nothing anyone at the school can do to help. All I’m saying is if I have the slides I will study them.
If people go into my Google Photos, laptop, email, etc, and erase the slides I can’t study. I’ll still pass but I won’t have a chance to earn an A or B.
I have contacted the New York FBI, NYPD, Department of Investigations, the Civilian Complaint Review Board, NYPD Internal Affairs, and others. They have not helped me at all.
The only one who helped was the New York City Comptroller’s Office. Albeit, it’s a slow process and the harassment continues.
I wouldn’t go back to a homeless shelter if the city offered me ten million dollars a night to sleep there so that’s not an option. I’m lucky I made it out of the last homeless shelter in one piece. I’m not trying to press my luck.
Furthermore, because I’m homeless it’s impossible to fully secure my possessions.
1. The police could say I said something foul to a student, professor, or staff member. Of course, I would never do that. I have had several arguments with the police on the phone. I wonder if there would be any way for the NYPD with their multi billion dollar per year budget to use the audio they have of me arguing with them out of context? For example, use the audio of me arguing with the police and say the words were directed to someone at CUNY.
2. The police could say that I was stalking a student. I’m 44. I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I don’t have a criminal record. I don’t do anything illegal. The police I deal with would still try and lie and say Mark Pine the 44 year old with no criminal record who is on the Dean’s List with all As is now going on a crime spree. It does make me think. Let’s say I’m on the phone with students because I’m being told that it’s mandatory by my teachers. Then let’s say I run into one or more of the students in real life. Then one or more of the students says this guy is following me or something like that. What would happen? The civilians I grew up with who pay New York law enforcement would pay a lot of money to anyone who could get me kicked out of school. Is the NYPD connected with any students at CUNY?
3. Last but not least. The police go into all my email and social media accounts, sabotage them and impersonate me. Someone just went into my LaGuardia Community College email and erased a bunch of important emails.
