NYU students celebrate cancellation of NSA at campus career fair
New York Amsterdam News
|October 16, 2025
Despite a protest that could have escalated, the New York University Chapter of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) got their wish for the National Security Agency (NSA) to cancel its appearance at a recent career fair at the school's engineering campus in Brooklyn.

The science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) career fair, held on October 8, was a place for students to come in and search for future job opportunities, but when the NSA was welcomed to the school, students did not feel safe.
The plan was to picket outside of the fair, and for students to know to stay away, but the picket did not happen because the NSA was removed from the event list on Monday.
NYU Tandon School of Engineering public affairs officer Leah Schmerl told the AmNews, "The NSA informed us that they were unable to attend the Career Fair due to the federal government shutdown."
