Preserve Free Tuition at Cooper Union
Brad Hoylman
August 16, 2014
On August 15, I joined the Committee to Preserve Cooper Union in a rally outside the courthouse where arguments were heard in its lawsuit to block the school from ending its long history as one of the nation’s few free institutions of higher learning. As I stated in an op-ed I wrote on the topic, charging tuition at Cooper Union — a beacon of educational equality in Manhattan’s rapidly changing East Village — jeopardizes the college’s reputation and its standing in our community. I further noted that Cooper Union enjoys considerable taxpayer support. Please see my op-ed at www.cityandstateny.com.
