  • Opinion: Email to one of the higher ups at CUNY about my potential journalism internship.

    Greetings Baruch College and CUNY,

    I’m a journalism major. 

    As part of the requirements to graduate as a journalism major I have to either intern for a news media company or take a 4000 level class. 

    I’m going to try to see if I can land a job as an intern somewhere. 

    I just wanted to mention one quick thing about it to you. 

    I never mention anything negative about law enforcement to anyone at Baruch College. 

    I never mention anything negative about anything to anyone at Baruch College. 

    I have the utmost respect for you and your team. 

    I’m guessing that I’m going to have to send hundreds or thousands of emails to news media companies in the next few weeks to try and land an internship. 

    With remote working it can be any news media company nationwide. 

    If anyone from any news media company contacts me back I will treat them with the same professionalism and respect that I treat everyone at Baruch College. 

    If a person that I’m trying to land an internship with starts asking me about law enforcement because they see something I’ve posted online, I will say with all due respect I can’t talk about it. 

    I view everything connected with this internship as being on campus at Baruch College and I don’t talk about anything negative at Baruch College. 

    If someone is interested in helping me they can give me the internship. 

    If anyone asks me about my living situation, of course I would let them know that I’m living in the street homeless. 

    I’m not complaining about being homeless. 

    I’m making the best of being homeless and trying to elevate my situation.

    Thank you and have a great day.

  • Opinion: New York City law enforcement has more audio scams on the way to try and get me kicked out of Baruch College.

    Greetings NYC FBI and NYPD,

    NYC law enforcement runs one scam after the next on me. 

    NYC law enforcement does not have any oversight at all in my opinion. 

    No law enforcement does. 

    For every member of law enforcement that gets in trouble there is a huge number of them getting away with the same thing every day. 

    It’s a fluke for a member of law enforcement to get in trouble for anything. 

    I just interviewed people that work for the NYC government for a journalism homework assignment. 

    The homework is not ever being published anywhere on the web.

    One more time for the record. 

    All the interviews are recorded with Tape A Call. 

    I’m not ever contacting any of the people I interviewed that work for the NYC government again. 

    If I ever see any of them in person by some miracle I will treat them with the utmost respect at all times. 

    I wouldn’t recognize them if I saw them. 

    NYC law enforcement has years of audio of me arguing, complaining, and reporting law enforcement. 

    Law enforcement can easily have amazing audio editors edit my audio into new conversations with anyone they want. 

    NYC Law enforcement has billions of dollars, tens of thousands of employees, and they run scams that are beyond anyone’s imagination. 

    One more time, I treated everyone I interviewed for my podcast homework with the utmost respect on the phone. 

    I’m never contacting any of them ever again. 

    If I ever see any of them I will treat them with the utmost respect. 

    I can feel law enforcement cooking up the next scam on me. 

    I’m 46 with no criminal record.

    I record vlogs outside of college complaining about the government. 

    That has nothing to do with Baruch College. 

    I also complain about law enforcement harassing me all the time. 

    Law enforcement can easily have the people that work for the government that I interviewed for a Baruch College homework assignment pick up the phone when I call the FBI or NYPD 911, pretend they work at the FBI or NYPD, and argue with me on the phone. 

    I don’t remember what any of them sound like. 

    I only have one phone. 

    Of course law enforcement takes my phone all the time when I’m sleeping. 

    I’m about to take a nap in a few minutes. 

    I am grateful that the people that work for the government spent time with me on the phone. 

    The only thing I’m focused on in addition to treating everyone at and connected with Baruch College respectfully, is making money so I can hire attorneys to sue the government for allowing law enforcement to harass me every day without any oversight besides the New York Courts and NYC Comptroller—when it’s supposed to be NYPD Internal Affairs, NYC DOI, etc. 

    There are plenty of videos on the web of me complaining about the government.

    I never complain about the government to anyone at Baruch College or connected with Baruch College in any way.

    Law enforcement can easily take the audio from any of of the videos and create a fabricated conversation with any of the people that I just interviewed for a Baruch College homework assignment. 

    I call NYPD 911 and the FBI every day when law enforcement and their civilian lie and scam team are harassing me. 

    Thank you and have a great day.

  • Opinion: Today April 26, 2023, the NYPD was running scams on me in person. 

    Greetings NYPD Internal Affairs,

    Usually the NYPD sends women and men in regular clothes to crash into me, shove their phones in my face, rob me, blow marijana smoke in my face, etc. 

    When I call NYPD 911 the NYPD has the people that pick up the phone for NYPD 911 run scams on me and harass me on the phone. 

    I have called NYPD 911 over 10,000 times in the past 7 years. 

    I have given NYPD 911 my name, number, email, date of birth, social, etc. 

    Today April 26, 2023, early in the morning the NYPD was running scams on me in person and on the phone.

    I’m not sure the exact time but it was after 1 AM in the morning.

    I was sitting outside in the Hudson Yards area trying to use my laptop. 

    Law enforcement started remotely blocking me from using my laptop like they always do. 

    Law enforcement can remotely block me from using my laptop.

    Law enforcement remotely blocks me from using my laptop at Baruch College. 

    I called NYPD 911. 

    NYPD 911 started running scams and harass me on the phone as they always do. 

    While I’m trying to report to NYPD 911 that law enforcement is remotely blocking me from using my laptop, I made it very clear that I only want to report the NYPD on the phone, I don’t want to meet the NYPD in person. 

    What is a patrol cop going to do if people I know are paying the NYPD tens of thousands of dollars or more under the table to harass me? 

    Two members of the NYPD showed up in person to the outdoor tables in the Hudson Years area sometime between 1 AM and 4 AM. 

    The NYPD officers in uniform said that they were there because I was calling NYPD 911. 

    I said I told NYPD 911 I don’t want to meet with the NYPD in the street. 

    I told the NYPD officers that I’ve been to several NYPD precincts and they won’t help me at all. 

    The NYPD officers said they were from the NYPD 10 Precinct in Chelsea, New York City. 

    One of the NYPD officers in uniform told me he was from or living in Nassau County, Long Island. 

    I immediately asked the NYPD 911 officers if they could turn on their body cameras.

    The 2 NYPD officers said no, they would not turn on their body cameras. 

    I got some video from when the 3 of us were standing there. 

    We spoke for a while about people harassing me and that was it. 

    The NYPD officers left. 

    I’ve been to the NYPD 10 Precinct before to report people robbing me and harassing me.

    I was denied police reports from the NYPD 10 Precinct at least 3 separate times. 

    People I know have been paying the NYPD to harass me for years. 

    The NYPD is claiming they have about 55,000 employees with 19,000 civilians and 36,000 law enforcement. 

    What the NYPD doesn’t tell you is how many people they have running around in addition to that.

    The NYPD has a lot of women and men that run scams for the NYPD part time, off the books. 

    For example, the NYPD has women and men that set people up as stalkers and for sexual harassment. 

    The NYPD has people that start fights to get people in trouble. 

    The NYPD has their civilian lie and scam team harass me constantly.

    That is why I pick up the phone and call the FBI and NYPD 911 and ignore the civilian woman and men that the NYPD sends to harass me. 

    I can write 100,000 more words about this topic but I have schoolwork. 

    I’m more than happy to share my phone records and bank records with any government agencies if they would like to investigate people I know paying law enforcement to harass me. 

    The only time I can turn a page on the web with my laptop is when I hold my phone recording my laptop screen with one hand and I use my laptop with the other hand. 

    If I’m not constantly recording my laptop screen with my phone—I can’t turn a page on the web. 

    Even when my laptop does work the speed of any laptop or computer I use is down 80% compared from before law enforcement started harassing me.

    Please advise if you would like any additional information from me.

    The US Attorney Southern District blocked my phone number.

    The NYC FBI blocked my phone number.

    The Manhattan District Attorney blocked my phone number.

    NYPD Internal Affairs blocked my phone number.  

    Thank you and have a great day.

  • Opinion: My grades at Baruch College CUNY are going down this semester. 

    Greetings NYPD Internal Affairs,

    I don’t care what grades my professors give me, I will always treat my Baruch College and CUNY professors with the utmost respect at all times. 

    If one of my CUNY professors threw my belongings out of the window, poured a can of paint on my head, and called me a homeless bum loser (I’m homeless)—I would not say a negative word to any of my Baruch College professors under any circumstances. 

    I don’t lose my cool at Baruch College. 

    That’s why I’m 46 years old, living in the street homeless, with law enforcement harassing me and I still don’t have a criminal record. 

    I’ve learned a lot of valuable information at Baruch College and LaGuardia Community College. 

    If law enforcement wasn’t constantly harassing me, CUNY would be the best experience ever. 

    To be honest, I’m happy as long as I pass. 

    I’m happy as long as law enforcement doesn’t murder me with drugs as they are threatening. 

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

    That includes 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. 

    I’m 80% complete with my bachelors degree at Baruch College. 

    I’m set to graduate in the next 3 semesters. 

    My main goals at Baruch College are to treat everyone respectfully and earn a 2.0 GPA so I can graduate. 

    To be honest, I try to get good grades but at the end of the day all that matters is that I pass. 

    I think I need a 2.0 to pass. 

    Right now my GPA is above 3.0. 

    I’m living in the street homeless. 

    I don’t drink. 

    I don’t smoke. 

    I don’t party. 

    I don’t have a criminal record. 

    I don’t do anything illegal. 

    I’ve been living in the street homeless for longer than I’ve been a student at CUNY. 

    I make the best of all situations. 

    People I know pay law enforcement to harass me. 

    Law enforcement has women and men in regular clothes shove their phones in my face, blow drug smoke in my face, crash into me, rob me, vandalize my property, etc. 

    Someone stole my cell phone out of my pocket when I was sleeping 3 times in the last 2 months. 

    I have been robbed and had my property vandalized hundreds of times.

    I’m not giving up. 

    This semester law enforcement has been blocking me from using the Baruch College Wi-Fi. 

    Law enforcement and their civilian team have been harassing me constantly. 

    I’m 90% done with all my schoolwork for the semester Spring 2023. 

    I would guess that this semester I’m going to get about a 2.5 GPA or maybe a 2.0 GPA.  

    Mostly Bs and Cs or whatever a 2.0 is. 

    Honestly, I don’t care. 

    I would prefer As but under the circumstances I’m making the best of the situation. 

    I have 3 months off of school this summer. 

    I’m going to call and email thousands of organizations trying to get help and expose law enforcement for harassing me. 

    Law enforcement has drug addicts constantly pretending they are with me, pretending they are handing me things, etc. 

    Plus law enforcement has people at Baruch College constantly harassing me. 

    Under the circumstances I think I’m doing OK. 

    As I said I’m making the best of the situation. 

    No matter what grades any of my professors give me I will continue to treat them all with the utmost respect at all times. 

    All my professors are amazing. 

    I’ve learned a lot this semester. 

    I love learning about journalism and BLS. 

    Everything I have is because of Baruch College and CUNY. 

    For example, my laptops, my winter coats, my phones that law enforcement didn’t steal yet, and much more. 

    I don’t care about grades. 

    I never talk about law enforcement harassing me at Baruch College. 

    I’m making the best of the situation. 

    Even when my professors sabotage me and harass me I treat them respectfully because law enforcement can snap their fingers and have anyone fired from CUNY in 1 second flat. 

    Also, law enforcement throws money and connects around to people that run scams for them. 

    When I was falsely arrested in Nassau County Long Island New York and charged with a misdemeanor that was knocked down to a violation I requested a bench trial (that I’m about to request in my CUNY lawsuit) and I represented myself. 

    Who would take that strategy besides someone that knows how to respectfully navigate situations?

  • Opinion: On campus and off campus scams at Baruch College—courtesy of law enforcement.

    Law enforcement has women and men that go to school and work at Baruch College CUNY harass me off campus. 

    Law enforcement can keep throwing one ambush and scam at me after the next because they don’t have any oversight at all. 

    For someone that works for the FBI or Police to get in trouble, they have to really try hard. 

    Law enforcement is running one scam on me at Baruch College after the next—on and off campus. 

    I just keep my mouth closed and mind my own business. 

    The big secret with law enforcement is how law enforcement has regular women and men that don’t work for the government at all, running scams and sabotaging people for law enforcement. 

    When I walk around Manhattan and New York City law enforcement will have women and men in regular clothes harass me.

    For example, the civilians that don’t officially work for law enforcement or the government will shove their phones in my face, crash into me, block me from walking, blow drug smoke in my face, vandalize my property, rob me, point in my face, surround me and start acting like I did something wrong when I’m minding my own business, and much more. 

    Sometimes it gets so bad that I will turn on my phone and just hold it normally but with the video recorder on.

    This way I can take the footage to a NYPD precinct and they can deny me a police report, then I can go to the NYC Comptroller’s Office and file another Notice of Claim to sue the NYPD (I’m not an attorney).  

    Sometimes NYC law enforcement will send people to me that know me and they will ask me to try and cut corners, they will try to get me to commit public assistance fraud, tax fraud, student loan fraud, credit card fraud, etc. 

    I say to the people you know that I do everything by the book. 

    I don’t care if I’m starving. 

    I’m living in the street homeless. 

    I still do everything by the book. 

    I don’t drink.  

    I don’t smoke. 

    I don’t party. 

    I don’t do anything illegal. 

    There are a lot of homeless people like me. 

    In my opinion homeless people are here to show everyone else to keep their mouth shut about the government or they can join us. 

    The government can easily get a lot of us off the street. 

    Instead anytime you hear about homeless people it’s—alcohol, mental health, etc. 

    There are a ton of homeless people that just have bad credit and not enough money. 

    Then a person that was handed everything will make negative comments about homeless people. 

    Personally, I can care less. 

    I’m making the best of my situation and trying to elevate. 

    Someone can offer me $10,000,000. right now for one of my startup ideas and I will say no if the terms aren’t good. 

    I’ve already turned down money from several people for investments into startup ideas and for marketing. 

    Law enforcement has people offer me money that won’t help me get off the street.

    The money will just mess up my student loans and public assistance (welfare) case. 

    People say, that welfare recipients don’t want to work. 

    I applied for hundreds of jobs. 

    Anyone that wanted to hire me was immediately told by law enforcement not to hire me. 

    If you owned a company and real killers that work for law enforcement told you not to help me would you? 

    No one wants the drama. 

    I can show you receipts from several multi million dollar small businesses that paid me for web marketing. 

    When law enforcement told people to stop using me, they understandably dropped me because they didn’t want to deal with the drama.

    I’m not saying all my clients. 

    Sometimes web marketing clients move on for other reasons. 

    I will say law enforcement chased away dozens of my web marketing clients and potential clients that would have generated a lot of money. 

    I’m making the best of it. 

    Here I am at Baruch College CUNY making the best of the situation.

    Law enforcement is running one scam after the next on me at school.

    A very nice person that works at Baruch College asked me if I wanted to be introduced to a business contact. 

    I politely and respectfully said no. 

    I’m not networking, contacting, or interacting with anyone from Baruch College CUNY outside of school. 

    There are plenty of people that I can try and do business with that I don’t have to be concerned about them running back to Baruch College CUNY to get me in trouble. 

    One advantage for me about being homeless is that almost nothing embarrasses me anymore. 

    I’ll pick up the phone and call anyone to try and create a new business contact. 

    I don’t need any introductions—-especially from Baruch College CUNY. 

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

    I don’t care if someone worth $10,000,000,000. would like to do business with me, if I meet them at Baruch College CUNY the answer is no. 

    I treat everyone respectfully that goes to Baruch College and that I meet at Baruch College—although I never interact with anyone from Baruch College or that I meet at Baruch College outside of school. 

    People that know me can’t believe that I’m about 8 classes away from graduating from Baruch College while living in the street homeless. 

    I didn’t get this far by taking chances or participating in risky behavior. 

    If I told half the things that law enforcement does to me people wouldn’t believe how sophisticated the ambushes and scams can be. 

    I call law enforcements scams—million or billion dollars scams.

    Thank you and have a great day. 

    Mark Pine 

    Note: 

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

    If anyone has any ideas how I can legally get law enforcement to stop harassing me every day please let me know. 

    NYC law enforcement has people that know me send me nasty emails to my Baruch College and personal email trying to pick fights with me. 

    I just ignore them or respond respectfully and politely. 

    New York City law enforcement has women and men in regular clothes harass me in Manhattan. 

    For example, they crash into me and shove their phones in my face. 

    In my opinion, New York City law enforcement goes into my email, social media, web accounts, etc., and sabotages the accounts and impersonates me. 

    Anyone who even thinks about helping me is contacted by New York City law enforcement and told not to help me or to help NYC law enforcement sabotage me more. 

    I don’t have a criminal record. 

    I don’t drink. 

    I don’t smoke or vape. 

    I don’t party. 

    I’m a journalism major at Baruch College CUNY in Manhattan, New York City. 

    My website, mark pine dot com, is hosted on the WordPress.com platform.

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

    That includes 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.

  • Email to the stellar Baruch College Dean on April 15, 2023.

    Greetings Dean, 

    Thank you for the response. 

    I prefer to contact you about positive things happening at Baruch College. 

    I was minding my own business when the maintenance person approached me:

    Once at the end of the hallway. 

    Once at the ledge. 

    If I see the maintenance team cleaning, I move out of the way or go to another floor. 

    Anytime a Baruch College maintenance person or security person approaches me in the hallway, I click the audio record button on my phone so there is never any confusion about how polite and respectful I am to all your staff. 

    Treating everyone at Baruch College CUNY politely and respectfully is rule number 1,2, and 3—in my opinion. 

    I always avoid confrontation and drama. 

    That’s why I’m 46, living in the street homeless for my entire 40’s, and don’t have a criminal record.

    My goal is to make you and everyone else here proud of me one day and have a positive impact on CUNY and NYC. 

    I’m here to treat your staff, students, and professors with the utmost respect at all times regardless of how they treat me. 

    This week I just interviewed a few people for a journalism project that work at BIDs, Community Boards, Baruch College, etc. 

    I’m very happy for the opportunity, experience, and information I’m learning. 

    I feel like I’m working diligently, doing the right thing, and doors are about to open. 

    The first person I ever worked with in the city always told me to cover myself and that’s what I’m doing. 

    I was working on schoolwork all Spring Break. 

    I’m about 90% done with all my schoolwork for the semester. 

    There are students at all colleges that come back from Spring Break, get slammed with schoolwork, and are playing catch up until the end of the semester. 

    I don’t take a break. 

    I turn in homework that isn’t due for weeks. 

    This way when school starts it’s like I never left. 

    I completed approximately 30 hours of homework and studying or more without any pressure of due dates that a percentage of students won’t even touch until after Spring Break. 

    It’s not a competition. 

    I credit my experience providing web marketing services for companies to my success strategies at Baruch College. 

    The information I’m learning at Baruch College is excellent. 

    It’s clear why so many people thrive after graduation. 

    Please let me know if you require any additional information from me. 

    Thank you and have a great day.

  • Opinion: Update about my experience at The City University of New York 4/3/2023.

    Greetings,

    The semester, Spring 2023, has one month left after Spring Break. 

    I’m done with the majority of my work for all my classes. 

    I’m going to get as much work as possible done during Spring Break too. 

    I was providing web marketing services for people, minding my own business. 

    People I know paid law enforcement and still pay them to chase away my clients and try to take everything from me. 

    That’s why I went to college at 46 years old. 

    I have been living in the street homeless for 7 years with law enforcement harassing me. 

    I don’t drink. I don’t do drugs. I don’t have a criminal record. I don’t date. 

    NYC law enforcement runs one scam after the next on me at Baruch College. 

    It’s daily abuse. 

    I just keep my mouth closed. 

    I take the abuse at Baruch College and just play along. 

    It’s what I’ve been doing for the past 3 years. 

    I don’t care if someone from Baruch College, student, staff, professor, etc. pours a can of paint on my head, throws all my belongings out the window, etc., I can care less. 

    I’m less than 10 classes away from graduation. 

    My GPA this semester is going to be between 2.1 and up. 

    I don’t care what my GPA is. 

    It’s a miracle that I’m able to go to school without any money. 

    Law enforcement has Baruch College staff, professors, and students running one scam after the next on me at Baruch College. 

    I just play along.

    I’m polite and respectful to everyone. 

    When Baruch College students harass me I just ignore them. 

    When Baruch College staff and professors run scams on me I just respond respectfully and politely. 

    I don’t blame anyone for running scams on me on behalf of law enforcement. 

    It can’t be denied that I’m 1 degree of separation away from many powerful members of law enforcement in New York and other states. 

    I’m making the best of it. 

    I don’t care what happens or how disrespectfully I’m treated at Baruch College, I’m just going to continue to take the abuse and graduate. 

    Law enforcement sends one person after the next to try and pick fights with me at Baruch College and everywhere else I go. 

    Law enforcement also sends me ridiculous emails from people at Baruch College trying to pick fights with me. 

    I just play along and respond politely and respectfully. 

    Law enforcement had a few Baruch College female students try and seduce me or hook up with me at Baruch College and outside Baruch College. 

    I just ignored them.

    The only option I have is to ignore all the scams NYC law enforcement keeps sending at me. 

    That’s what I’ve been doing and that’s what I will continue to do. 

    I never mention a word about law enforcement or anything of this nature to anyone at Baruch College. 

    If it wasn’t for the New York Courts — law enforcement would have had me tossed out of Baruch College. 

    The only reason I’m still able to get an education at The City University of New York is thanks to the New York Courts. 

    CUNY is great just not when law enforcement is running around behind the scenes running their usual tricks and scams. 

    Law enforcement also runs the same scams on me at HRA and other government agencies too. 

    I still treat everyone at HRA with the utmost respect at all times. They saved my life. 

    I would have starved to death if it wasn’t for HRA. 

    Thank you and have a great day.

  • Notice of Claim to sue the New York City Human Resources Administration.

    Mark Pine 

    December 29, 2022.

    First and foremost I always treat everyone from the New York Courts, HRA, the NYC Comptroller’s Office, etc., with the absolute utmost respect at all times. 

    That is more important than any of this. 

    I’m going to be suing New York City for the rest of my life because New York City law enforcement is never going to stop teasing, harassing, and sabotaging me. 

    I would like to sue the New York City Human Resources Administration (HRA) for $150,000.

    HRA cut off my MetroCard money. 

    I’m a full time student at Baruch College CUNY. 

    Every week I receive money from HRA to purchase a one week unlimited MetroCard. 

    For some reason the MetroCard money is canceled for next week and going forward.

    I contacted HRA about it on December 23, 2022. I received the following confirmation number. 

    Your City of New York Correspondence Number is #1-1-6078274

    There is a chance that HRA cut off all student’s MetroCard money for the winter break or holiday. 

    If that’s the case then I’m wrong. 

    If all college public assistance students are receiving their MetroCard money during the winter holiday and only mine has been cut off then I’m going to sue. 

    I contacted a few government agencies about the HRA MetroCard money and no one has responded which seems a little strange. 

    I’m not 100 percent sure about this one because I don’t know anyone that goes to college in New York City that is on public assistance. 

    Law enforcement sabotages almost every move I make. 

    Rich people I grew up with pay the NYPD and others to tease, harass, and sabotage me every day. 

    I contacted the CCRB, NYPD IA, and the NYC DOI; they can’t stop New York City law enforcement from teasing, harassing, and sabotaging me every day. 

    That is why I want to be sure that I’m not the only public assistance student that had their MetroCard money shut off for the winter holiday. 

    I contacted the HRA Commissioner’s Office about the situation and didn’t hear back yet. 

    I hope I’m wrong. 

    Could you imagine if out of all the college students in New York City that the NYPD or another law enforcement agency went to HRA and threatened HRA to shut off my MetroCard only?

    New York City law enforcement has run scams like that on me several times before. 

    I’m about to sue the NYPD next month. 

    Please let me know if you require any additional information from me.

    Thank you and have a great day.

  • Opinion: I’m about to sue The City University of New York again. July 26, 2022.

    I always treat all staff, professors, and students at Baruch College with the utmost respect at all times.

    I never mention a word about the lawsuit to anyone at Baruch College.

    There is no animosity attached to the lawsuit.

    In my opinion, people I know pay New York City law enforcement to harass and sabotage me.

    New York City goes behind the scenes at Baruch College and many other places and sabotages me. That’s why I’m suing.

    I’m not an attorney. I’m representing myself. I plan on filing the lawsuit on my 46th birthday. August 15, 2022.

    I would never do anything to jeopardize my great standing at Baruch College. I’m on the Dean’s List right now.

    I’m utilizing the courts to present my case to a judge and have her or him decide if my claims have merit.

    Baruch College has done a lot to help me. For example, in one month I’m about to receive about $5,000 in my bank account to pay my bills for the year.

    The money is from student loans. The only reason I’m receiving the funds is because I’m a student at Baruch College.

    Do you know how much money $5,000 is to a person that is living in the street homeless?

    It’s a lot.

    I’m on public assistance or welfare. I receive about $600 per month to live on.

    I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I don’t party. I don’t have a criminal record.

    In my opinion, people I know paid New York City law enforcement to sabotage my web marketing clients and now I’m homeless.

    I have places to shower. I have a storage room to keep my belongings. I have clean clothes. I don’t think I look homeless. Albeit, I live in the streets.

    The money from the welfare office keeps me alive.

    The money from student loans allows me to have a laptop, phone, warm clothes, and more.

    I would never jeopardize that.

    In my spare time I’m trying to find new web marketing clients and launch startups.

    Thanks to the skills I’ve learned at Baruch College I believe I’ll be rich and famous.

    New York City law enforcement pays Baruch College students to try and pick fights with me and I ignore them.

    I don’t care what anyone does to me at Baruch College, you will never hear a negative word out of me there.

    I sued Baruch College once before and I lost. This is going to be the second lawsuit.

    I have learned a lot at Baruch College. I love Baruch College.

    The reason I’m suing is there are a few things that I have questions about that I only believe can be answered with the involvement of the New York Court of Claims.

    This way I don’t have to directly ask anyone that works at Baruch College. I can pose my questions to the court and Baruch College attorneys. The answers will be part of the court record.

    If someone at Baruch College tries to sabotage me on the request of New York City law enforcement I don’t take it personal. I’m not upset with them.

    In my view, New York City law enforcement can have anyone at Baruch College fired.

    I would like to publicly thank everyone at the Bursar’s office, Financial Aid office, CUNY Edge, Dean’s Office, and all the professors. They are doing a great job

    My lawsuit against Bruch College has nothing to do with the staff. The staff treats me like gold.

    This lawsuit is about New York City law enforcement threatening people behind the scenes like they always do to sabotage me.

    If you are thinking about college I recommend starting at a CUNY community college. They are awesome.

    Again, I always treat everyone at Baruch College with the utmost respect at all times. I highly recommend Baruch College, LaGuardia Community College, and The City University of New York.

  • Email to CUNY Edge at Baruch College. July 21, 2022.

    This is an example of how to treat people respectfully at all times. I wanted to share this email with the world to inspire additional respectful emails between humans.

    Greetings CUNY Edge,

    July 27, 2022 at 10 AM is good for me if that is acceptable. 

    A few quick things. 

    I dropped a class during summer 1 as I mentioned. Because I didn’t finish the class, the payment for the class became my responsibility. 

    Unfortunately and thankfully, I had been in the emergency room of the hospital twice during the class so I was excused from having to pay for the class which is awesome. That was very generous of Baruch College and The City University of New York. 

    Another great thing. I have been receiving my MetroCard money even though I’m not in school and I’m not working. Last summer because I wasn’t working for RF CUNY and I wasn’t taking classes my MetroCard money was cut. Needless to say, I’m not complaining. 

    I sent an email to RF CUNY and the Baruch College Dean about the RF CUNY fellowship program. 

    This is it: 

    Greetings RF CUNY, 

    CUNY Edge is as helpful as humanly possible.      

    CUNY Edge could not make keeping up with my Human Resources Administration documentation any easier. 

    I always treat everyone at CUNY Edge with the utmost respect at all times as I treat everyone that is connected with CUNY and Baruch College. 

    I’m 45 years old. I understand that life isn’t perfect. I just want to quickly bring something to your attention. 

    All the Baruch College students that are on public assistance are assigned hours by HRA to work for the RF CUNY fellowship program. The amount of hours can be anywhere from 0 hours per week to I suspect 20 or 30 hours per week. 

    As I stated CUNY Edge is as helpful and as great a resource as humanly possible. CUNY Edge is as great as it gets. This has nothing to do with CUNY Edge. CUNY Edge is just the messenger. 

    I don’t take it for granted how easy CUNY Edge makes it for students like myself on public assistance. 

    I have a suspicion that a number of colleges might be a lot more work and not as quick turnaround time for students on public assistance to submit their documentation to HRA. 

    I’m experienced enough to know that I have no idea who makes the policy for the RF CUNY fellowship program at Baruch College and CUNY. 

    Even if I did know I still treat everyone at CUNY, Baruch College, RF CUNY, etc., with the utmost respect at all times. That is regardless if I get my way or not. 

    Here is the situation. 

    I was notified by CUNY Edge that some public assistance students are able to get RF CUNY fellowship program hours and others are not. 

    RF CUNY pays about $15 per hour if I’m correct. For someone like myself on public assistance that is a lot of money. 

    Plus working for the RF CUNY fellowship program doesn’t throw my HRA case into a tailspin like any other job would. 

    I could be 100% wrong and if I am I apologize for this note. 

    I suspect that there are students at Baruch College working 10, 20, and maybe more hours per week at Baruch College for the RF CUNY fellowship program. 

    Simultaneously, there are students such as myself that are designated by HRA to work 5 to 20 or more hours per week that are getting 0 hours from the Baruch College RF CUNY fellowship program. 

    In my humble opinion, I think it would be more fair if the hours were split up so that everyone receives some hours. 

    The last 4 semesters Fall 2021, Spring 2022, Summer 1, Summer 2, I’ve received 0 hours and I was assigned hours from HRA every semester. 

    I understand that I am not president of the universe. I’m not the CEO of RF CUNY. I’m not the Chancellor of CUNY. I’m not the Mayor of New York City.  

    If no one agrees with me it’s OK. Life goes on. I just want to bring this situation to your attention. 

    If you have any advice regarding this situation it would be appreciated. 

    Also, before I started CUNY I didn’t have a laptop. I didn’t have anything so I never forget how thankful I am for CUNY. I’m sitting in Central Park typing this message on a laptop that was given to me by Baruch College / CUNY. To not appreciate that would be insanity.

    Please advise. 

    Thank you and have a great day. 

    Mark Pine 

    I wasn’t going to mention the email to you but I thought since we were in communication about next week’s meeting, I thought to include the message in this note. 

    Clearly, I made sure to include how helpful CUNY Edge is. 

    The City University is all about inclusion so I just wanted to remind whomever is incharge that there are students being excluded. 

    Last but not least I’m working diligently to get off public assistance. I can’t say when it’s going to happen but in my spare time I’m using the tools (laptop, phone), and knowledge that I’ve accumulated from Baruch College and The City University of New York to try and elevate my situation. I have a feeling that my big break is around the corner. 

    Thank you and have a great day.
