Cooper Union alumni sue to block tuition - Keith Button, Education Dive

Alumni of Cooper Union are suing the New York City school over its decision to start charging tuition this fall. Besides seeking to block the school from charging tuition, the lawsuit in Manhattan Supreme Court also criticizes school officials for squandering funds on extravagant expenses. Cooper Union, which was founded in 1859 and went tuition-free in the early 1900s, is scheduled to begin charging tuition of $19,500 in the fall.
