Dreams of Park Graduation Dashed for Class of 2010
Three quarters of Washington Square Park are in the process of being cordoned off for construction, meaning the Class of 2010 will not enjoy the sentimental experience of graduating in the hub of an otherwise dissociated NYU community.

In any case, props for realism, anonymous prankster. Judging by the exasperated tone of the financial aid rep I spoke with this morning, the calls are rolling in.
