Randi Damesek

Randi Damesek was Assistant Principal for Organization at Stuyvesant High School in New York City for many years before accepting a position at Eleanor Roosevelt High School 2017. [0]During her time at Stuyvesant, she was known for enforcing order, sometimes controversially, including a dress code some saw as "slut-shaming"[1]and the crackdown following the 2012 Stuyvesant cheating scandal.

She was the subject of polarized views from the student body during her tenure.

A Facebook page run by the Stuyvesant student newspaper referred to her as the school's "Confiscator-in-Chief" but also argued against her firing.

[2]Meanwhile, she has a 4.0 rating on Ratemyteacher.com. [3]

She was removed from Stuyvesant following a NYC Department of Education review of her and Principal Stanley Teitel's handling of the 2012 cheating scandal.

Subsequently, large numbers of students protested for her to return.
