*NYC ART ACTION to keep Cooper Union Free*
Tonight at 6, we're creating an "art-in" outside Cooper Union. Bring poetry, chalk, puppets, paints, pencils, easels, songs, tap dance routines.
Statement from Students at Cooper Union:
For Immediate Release:
50+ students, faculty, and staff are maintaining a ‘sit-in’ inside Jamshed Bharucha’s office on the 7th floor of the Foundation Building of the Cooper Union. As students we have reclaimed the President’s office in response to the Administration and the Board of Trustees announcing the implementation of tuition for the incoming class of 2014- desecrating a 154 year old tradition of meritocracy and free education. We stand together with the extended Cooper community in opposition to this decision; we reaffirm all of the previous and future actions of our fellow students and allies.
WEAR red squares
BRING pots and pans
Let's make our solidarity seen & heard around the world!
