"Obviously this is a fantastic start, but I'm looking forward to the day when there is no tuition," Toby Cumberbatch, a retired CU faculty member, stated, emphasizing the ongoing struggle for full tuition-free education.
"The free tuition is made possible by donations from three alumni including two engineering graduates, George Reeves ('64) and John Manuck ('69), who collectively contributed nearly $6 million to the school's 'Until All Are Free' fund last summer."
"This announcement marks a turning point for Cooper Union, as it aims to restore its historic commitment to providing education free of charge, a promise that has faced significant challenges over the years."
"Following a decade of protests and legal actions regarding tuition fees, the administration's decision to refund current seniors and reinstate full-tuition scholarships reflects a shift in CU's financial strategy and accountability to its student body."
