A Little Piece of Abu Dhabi on Washington Square

The building at 19 Washington Square North is almost ready to become the NYC center of NYU's campus in Abu Dhabi. The center will hold office space and a special teleconference room where NYU professors can offer instruction to students, who will be in Abu Dhabi.

Are Jewish students welcome there? Will they use the excuse that they can't protect them, as they did with an Israeli woman tennis player?

This makes total sense to me. Pay to go to school over there to get instructed via teleconferencing from a professor over here.

Since NYU got out of the teaching business in favor of real estate investment 20 years ago, I'm surprised they don't move the whole thing, lock, stock and "Palladium" dorm to Abu Dhabi. I don't think the kids from Iowa would know the difference.
