melancholy mild air.

If you are a teacher, you get each fall semester for a new school year

and you know you're a year older,

but students have the same age forever.

Still recovering.

The university is the way of trying to preserve cultural memory.

It is an effort to cheat death,

a struggle against time and mortality.

United States has offered higher education

ANDREW DELBANCO

PROFESSOR OF HUMANITIES UNIVERSITY OF COLUMBIA

a large percentage of its population than any other company.

But many of the forces now converge and create anxiety.

Does the college is overvalued?

I say it's a myth.

It has become a career education.

Does the college is very expensive?

I think it will be equal to the executions.

Your future is bright!

Students will default ...

All parents trying to afford to educate their children

feel the impact, and access to a college degree

It is much more difficult at this time.

Of all the bombs explode in the American economy,

Student loan debt in the nation Mega $ 1 trillion.

We would see a tsunami of defaults.

There are problems in all areas of higher education,

and it is logical to expect that students and their families

want to know that when they leave the university,

they will have skills

why someone would be willing to remunerate.

2013 GRACIAS, WIKIPEDIA

Many people with college degrees working as a waiter,

limpia bathrooms, leads taxis.

Almost half of the students did not benefit their learning.

But there is also an apocalyptic dimension in this regard.

And it is the idea

that the concept of college is about to fall.

Only a very small group of universities

will survive intact on the other side of this giant wave.

At this point, people say:

"Do not go to college."

Is college worth it?

There have been times in history

where those who said that the future would look very different very soon

were right.

This podria be that moment.

Something like: "How do you enter the right college?

"How do you get your child to follow the right track?".

The university has been sold as the key to a better future.

And something has gone very wrong in the past decades.

HARVARD UNIVERSITY OF SEPTEMBER 4, 2012

Welcome, Class of 2016.

Maybe they noticed that some expect you to save the world,

DREW FAUST - CHANCELLOR OF HARVARD UNIVERSITY

preferably before graduation.

But remember

important part of all who are successful are dispuestos to fail.

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL HARVARD UNIVERSITY

ENTER TO INCREASE YOUR WISDOM

At Harvard we believe the best college

is humanistic liberal education.

And that means a broad education on human concerns.

DREW FAUST - CHANCELLOR OF HARVARD UNIVERSITY

We do not educate students for their first job.

We want to give them the skills

to think, reason and question all his life.

Increasingly, technology is something

so that every educated person should be familiar in the XXI century.

We have an introductory course to computer

known as CS50,

which is now the busiest in the course of field grade.

ROB BOWDEN - LAST YEAR STUDENT OF HARVARD

ASSISTANT CHAIR, CS50

Everyone on campus know the CS50.

It is definitely a course of worship.

I think, in part, relates to Facebook

LOUISE EISENACH - 1st YEAR STUDENT AND STUDENT OF CS50

and Mark Zuckerberg attend Harvard.

That's what happens in our generation.

Mature people, founded their own companies

Create your own websites,

and does amazing things with technology,

and I think that is CS50.

This is CS50.

Today we begin to explore the basic principles of computer

and the art of programming.

And I know that is not so important

where they end up in relation to their classmates,

but at the end of the 11th week of the semester,

where they eventually respect yourselves this day.

CS50 "HORAS HÁBILES"

Sometimes it can be intimidating,

because there are many people who have more preparation.

Many times it is easy to say, "How can I do this?".

Because nothing in the enti entry.

College is very different from the environment to which he was accustomed.

My experience has been a little difficult.

I have a source

DAVID BOONE - 1st YEAR STUDENT - STUDENT OF CS50

rather modest.

The summer before starting ninth year,

Teen worker moves from homelessness to Harvard

I was tempted to join a gang. I refused.

If vengaron mi family, mi le fired home.

From my experience and my background,

I'm much more motivated.

I remember that time,

and makes further thank all or have now.

Before coming here, it was a year that did not have a bed,

and when you enter the bedroom, honestly, I jumped on the bed.

That meant a lot to me.

It is a true blessing.

Just being here and changed the dynamics of my family.

Whenever it is said, "To move forward as a family,

Moneek DAVIS MADRE DE DAVID

"Each generation must overcome."

David said, "Mom, how we will pay for college?"

"What if I go in and I can not afford it?".

I said, "Trust me, God will open the way.".

Harvard is between 1.25% universities with full scholarship,

allowing you to David attend free of charge.

You should see our first video.

He was sitting there looking at the camera like a star.

When we got to the campus of Harvard, I thought:

"My baby is in Harvard."

The first college in the country, Harvard College,

was the daughter of the University of Cambridge in England.

The Puritans had arrived in New England in early 1630,

and after settling with the basics, food and shelter,

focused their attention on to found a college.

In that sense, the faculty was a branch of the Church.

The fundamental for college class

It is the modern version of the sermon.

They were convinced that students could become

that their lives have meaning and purpose.

Harvard is the DNA of almost all higher education in USA

CLAYTON CHRISTENSEN - AUTOR DE THE INNOVATOR'S DILEMMA

Established the model to imitate every university

THE DNA OF HIGHER EDUCATION USA

For better resources, better teachers,

most prestigious, best students.

As Harvard that DNA transmitted to the other,

When the colonial powers became universities,

as new institutions were founded as universities,

started growing tension

between the mission of educating young

and competition for prestige,

And the way to gain prestige is to get high in the ranking,

which expands your market and allows you to charge more.

BEST PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Then, to move up the list,

everyone should keep adding more programs and Facilities

at a faster rate than the competition.

That was the most ambitious vision

for a university,

was a place of higher education research.

It included every possible discipline,

and expansion knew no bounds.

It became the model you had to integrate to investigate.

You had to provide housing, classrooms,

all necessary food, and facilities demanded

to participate in the game.

It is a game that is hard to keep.

The higher education system elite residential

created by the Americans in recent centuries,

is remarkably effective. Few would dispute.

But it is also extremely inefficient

in terms of resources

to produce these spectacular places.

Higher education in USA It has been very successful for centuries.

But now things are changing,

because costs increased exponentially.

We have such an expensive product

many people can not afford and should borrow,

which is simply not viable.

The increase in enrollment is unsustainable.

PRICE OF THE UNIVERSITY SINCE 1978

In both we can continue charging

year after year after year

without bumping against a brick wall.

The enrollment has increased more than any other good or service

throughout the American economy since 1978.

We are in an environment

where we cut spending on higher education.

Basically states have moved away.

FINANCIAM. ESTATAL - MATRÍCULA Virginia 2008-2013

Now, much of the cost of education is facing the student.

And student loans are an important part of the equation.

IT'S TIME TO TALK TO PAY FOR COLLEGE

The availability of loans to pay for college

makes families less sensitive to price,

and that universities compete less for the price.

All competition is based on:

"We're better than before, and we are better than you."

Universities fight over profits.

We think of student debt, but in the last decade,

doubled the assumed debt.

In fact, we see that they have hired more people

MICHAEL CROW - ARIZONA UNIVERSITY RECTOR

Tuition fees in Arizona used to be almost zero.

We must return to the point where there is not a huge financial barrier

that must be overcome to access university education excellence.

As a public university, our responsibility

is to take a sample of the talent of our society,

Over 76,000 students are enrolled at ASU.

And give excellent education

the lowest possible cost.

Many people would say that's impossible.

We say it should be possible.

and how it did not fit

LAURA HAMILTON - COAUTORA DE PAYING FOR THE PARTY

College is fun,

that's not a problem.

But institutions organized college parties

and they charged for it,

but do not require anything from them academically.

In fact, just give them beer and circus.

In this time of diminished state support,

ELIZABETH ARMSTRONG

COAUTORA DE PAYING FOR THE PARTY

students who can not pay tuition subsidized

without seeking financial support are very important for college.

We must address these scholars paying students and less

parrandear wanting.

We celebrate!

We celebrate!

In the past 20 years,

unsubsidized students doubled in the public universities.

On average, these students pay more than twice the in-state tuition.

Unsubsidized students choose a university for social life.

Excellent deportiva supply system, fraternities,

greater lifestyle luxury condominiums.

But that has consequences for others.

THE VUE LUXURY STUDENT RESIDENCE

The Vue is a complex of privatized housing.

They have poolside parties very often,

where all get drunk and take drugs,

and terrific fights are armed.

¡ASU!

ASU students idealize this "residential complex"

where you spend time poolside smoking cigars,

when you should focus on your education

and obtain a diploma.

failing to achieve good academic standing.

There are many distractions, and no one has.

Some are not ready for the college level.

You try to show them how to study better.

You try to teach them a better way to do their homework.

It is very easy to fall into that trap.

You mentalizarte in graduarte,

that it may go well in college to succeed.

In 2012, 68% of students of univ. Public do not graduate in 4 years.

Many of the actors in higher education

lack a genuine interest

44% do not graduate in six years.

To promote academic and learning requirement.

Focus on something else.

Teachers are increasingly benefits

in terms of promotions, job titles, salaries,

for its research productivity and scholarship.

And concentrate on teaching interfere with this investigation and that scholarship.

When institutions evaluate teaching,

they tend to use student assessments.

The MIS qualify TEACHERS

At the end of the course, students take a tooth satisfaction survey:

"How much you like this course?".

"¿If you recommend to a friend?".

Teachers are encouraged not to be strict

but to be lenient with notes,

You approve with ease! You use very little books.

Because the only measurement that institutions consider

Course very, very easy!

It is: "Students are satisfied as consumers?".

You do not even have to read

At the same time,

the number of full-time teachers fell dramatically,

and replaced part-time adjunct faculty.

Many have limited resources

to focus on a strict academic education.

Expansion and renovation of student centers

Institutions invest in other things, like-minded company.

But they are non-profit organizations.

They are accountable to the public.

They are responsible for fulfilling their mission.

It is absolutely right that we put on the table

at American universities and we demand more.

Abuses are outrageous.

DEATH VALLEY TURN RIGHT -1 KM

Some universities sought to expand the spectrum

in intensity of the experience.

UNIVERSIDAD DEEP SPRINGS

For example, the University Deep Springs,

where students undertake two years

to leave the world.

Located on a ranch in Death Valley, California,

Deep Springs is a free school for boys.

Deep Springs' mission is to provide free education

young people who are prepared to serve humanity.

This is achieved through what they call the three pillars.

Self-government,

BENNET BERGMAN 2 ° AÑO, DEEP SPRINGS

academic training and work.

We live in a small community.

We spent half the time in class and half

working on the farm or in some way to the community.

At weekly meetings,

exercise self-government,

which is basically assume responsibility to the community.

What courses we chose together.

Post Political Theory is Marx,

Critical Theory and Frankfurt School, Nietzsche.

I think there is something very rewarding about deepening

very intensely on a school of thought.

Through this education

unraveling hold ourselves somehow.

I cared very little to go to college.

JOHN STUART 1° AÑO, DEEP SPRINGS

Was to go to Deep Springs on anything.

You a place that you constantly Exige.

And I like that.

Because if I had gone to another university,

I would have become self-absorbed and narcissistic.

DANIEL LEIBOVITZ 2 ° AÑO, DEEP SPRINGS

For me, the main attraction of Deep Springs is self-government,

commit to people,

and put myself in the shoes of others.

In eso creo that arise in naturally.

It is something that should teach.

Has to be the result of education.

The college class is perhaps the best test for democracy.

Students learn to speak well, to listen with respect,

and most of all,

learn that they can enter a room with a view

and leave with another.

POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY SEMINAR

According to Hegel, must have an identity as citizens

because it creates bonds of affection.

We are not just children or siblings,

students or doctors, but we are also citizens.

Why talk about the state?

The expression of the individual through the state, I do not think.

That's because we treat you like a person.

What is defined as a person

previously been the way we had

to races outside the entire state,

so I agree with you, why talk about the state

if the definition of person

not enough here?

But do you recognize

Hegel can be seen against this argument?

Sure, yeah. I agree.

But the best way to bring Hegel Today

're transgrediéndolo.

Students have much to learn from other students.

But the facts more transformers

they are, in the end, hand in hand experiences

with a teacher who looks you in the eyes.

I had a bad experience at a public school.

I saw a lot of racism, sexism, beat me, I fought.

Teachers and families can do nothing.

I think they can.

Every time I come here and say:

"What do you think of this?

"You want to change these tasks?

"¿Les liked these readings?"

attempt to extend opportunities for representation,

so do not treat them just like any student.

The purpose of places like this is that they believe what they want here, right?

And the problem is that to get what they want,

must cooperate with others,

ie try to find ways to communicate their anger

himself ser antagonistas.

Two hours of Hegel.

We half-hour break, another hour and half hour of Lacan.

Completely. Sí, makes me happy.

Until Deep Springs seems to have become more and more obsolete

or more and an idyllic fantasy

there is something there,

and we all feel, what they have experienced.

This university stands for something.

On the status of USA

As a country that is increasingly seeking ambition and growth,

in the nineteenth century, we begin to get the idea

that a college education could benefit everyone,

we should be able to learn everything we needed

tener for self-esteem, to sostenernos,

and also to be full citizens.

The idea led to the Merrill Act in 1860.

La Ley MORRILL OF 1862

In 1862, in the midst of the Civil War, Congress,

surprisingly even managed to focus to approve the Merrill Act

SENATOR JUSTIN MORRILL USA BY VERMONT

which funded the distribution of land to the powers

then they became great public universities.

The federal government provided

to the expansion of higher education dream

on an unprecedented scale.

This has never happened in society,

have colleges from coast to coast,

and were not only for the nobility.

Senator Merrill still believed in education for the children of slaves,

and after Reconstruction, created

historical black colleges and universities.

The institutions arose in an era of racial segregation

COLLEGE WOMEN SERVING SPELMAN

and gender segregation

to ensure that blacks and American women

receive higher education.

UNIVERSIDAD SPELMAN ATLANTA, GEORGIA

Spelman was founded less than 20 years after the end of slavery

with the idea of ​​creating an educational opportunity

BEVERLY TATUM RECTORA, UNIVERSIDAD SPELMAN

for women who had not had.

It is a place where a young woman says: "This place was built for me."

I am a witness.

FOUNDER'S DAY, 2013 UNIVERSITY SPELMAN

Each student at Spelman

It is a testimony.

A witness to the prayers during slavery.

Slavery.

A themselves were denied ...

Denied.

- ... Education. Education.

"I want my children to be educated."

As predicted.

Predicted!

I think the main to be

student in a historical black university

BROOKE BREWSTER - final year University Spelman

are all these conversations about race and gender,

how both fit

and how that affects what you think, what you feel.

When you're in a place for four years

with people who look like you and getting achievements,

That has an effect on your safety.

It is a space where you can grow as a person.

Amirah MITCHELL - 2nd YEAR UNIVERSITY Spelman

Winsor I went to Boston University, and are almost all white.

Coming from a minority to a majority experience

forces me to find an identity rather than the obvious.

In my high school, saying, "Who is Amirah?" "It's the black girl."

Here I have to solve it.

There are many other intelligent black women here.

GLEE CLUB TOUR OF Spelman

The university is a place of mental growth

and can also be a place for spiritual growth,

because both go hand in hand.

¡Gloria!

My sense of self is stronger, it helped me grow as a person.

God will stir up the water

So walk by the water

Children

You can live that experience without going to college.

You can travel the world and have that experience.

You can migrate your hometown and have that experience.

But college is a place where all that is conjugated.

Historical black colleges are powerful.

There is a strong connection between students, alumni,

DAVID BOONE, 1st YEAR STUDENT OF HARVARD

and other historical black colleges.

But in particular I did not run many black colleges.

I was surrounded by black all my life.

I went to a school where there were 90% of African Americans.

I did not know how to interact with whites, was afraid.

The best thing I learned while I was in Harvard

is the ability to connect with people from different fields.

I do not want to influence only in my community.

I want to affect a larger community.

All these institutions have made immense contributions

to the history of our democracy.

And if you can not have democracy without an educated citizenry,

want that most citizens

receive the best education possible.

Philanthropists of the Golden Age

they saw the mass higher education

as a basic human right.

Peter Cooper was an industrialist who I believe

on free education as water and air.

THE COOPER UNION FUNDADA EN 1859

Él fundó The Cooper Union,

college of art and design industry in New York

with the idea that was available to people

from any source, to study a useful and practical art.

But today The Cooper Union is one of the latest examples

of free higher education institution in the country.

FREE EDUCATION

PETER BUCKLEY - PROFESOR DE HISTORIA - COOPER UNION

A full scholarship for each student enrolled

It is the mission of Cooper Union.

Peter Cooper wanted one University

VICTORIA SOBEL - LAST YEAR COLLEGE COOPER UNION

accessible to workers, women, people of color.

I come from a lower middle class family.

My parents told me about Cooper.

When I found out ... I became obsessed.

Did not even think about going elsewhere.

Today, everything is against

This nineteenth-century model of free education.

From the ideological and financial, it is old.

Peter Cooper donó fondos

Cooper Union to always be free.

This donation includes the land under the Chrysler Building

and has supported the mission of the university for more than 150 years.

When Jamshed Bharucha, the current president took office,

JAMSHED BHARUCHA - RECTOR, COOPER UNION - 2011-ACTUALIDAD

announced to the community of Cooper

that a large deficit Tennis

and for the first time in 154 years, would have to pay tuition.

COOPER UNION STUDENT PROTEST - DEC. , 2012

Free education, our mission!

FREE EDUCATION FOR ALL

The current administration is trying to say

we should not focus on education as a right.

JAMSHED BHARUCHA - RECTOR, COOPER UNION - 2011-ACTUALIDAD

Being free, the financial model is very complicated.

If you look at the financial statements, you will see.

We have a huge deficit.

I think Peter Cooper wanted to habría

if we had to talk about tuition, we could do it.

We all recognize that we have financial difficulties,

but the administration and the board do not understand

how tuition will destroy college.

FREE EDUCATION!

Administration ...

must hold public ...

commitment ...

college ...

with free education.

The rector Bharucha pay comes from universities,

THIS IS NOT TUFTS - REGISTRATION NO CEASE OR RESIGN

and believes that we should be like other universities.

It is covered with normal words like sustainability.

I stand before you

GUIDING FORUM OCTOBER 2011

because the survival of this institution is at stake.

We do not have a sustainable budget.

If you want free education, how will they be structured?

I think it is not compatible with many courses,

large interpersonal interaction,

and give people good wages,

and I believe in paying good wages.

The president earns more than 8700000 in total.

HOUSE PROVIDED BY THE UNIVERSITY RECTOR

In a one thousand university students in a difficult financial period,

one would have thought that there would be some proportionality.

I think the leadership of Harvard earns 3899000,

and supervises 12,000 teachers, 21,000 students,

funds and $ 30 billion.

She does not have even a tenth of the problem that we have.

A tenth of the problems we have.

Jamshed SALARY: 3750000 and free house

We seem to be the Harvard of Astor Place.

I do not think that the model of free education does not work.

We got into this mess by many things,

not the cost of educating students.

In 2006, Cooper Union borrowed 3.175 billion

to build a new building at 41 Cooper Square.

The college believes in growth at all costs,

VESTÍBULO, 41 COOPER SQUARE

in overcoming difficulties.

And that becomes very problematic

when you build a building of 3100 square meter,

which is more than a luxury hotel.

Cuts may be made,

Cooper Union as it did in 150 years of market ups and downs.

But that fue in the decision they have taken.

Cooper Union used loan money to invest in hedge funds

that collapsed during the financial crisis.

Do you think it was wise to invest in hedge funds

and use the money from the loan of $ 175 million for that purpose?

I'm not an investor. That is, I ...

I'm good with budgets, but not investments.

Were risky decisions?

Good,

one may ask if they were or not,

but it is undeniable that a loan is ...

Yes, to the institution, pay is a challenge.

Projected debt service

Cooper Union is facing a mortgage payment of 310 million per year.

It is a tremendous irony

that an institution should desendeudar people

she take that kind of debt.

The idea that Cooper Union consider charge tuition

It was a great betrayal and a trend where the education is.

Students are not considered entitled to an education,

and institutions feel free to continue increasing the price.

What's wrong with higher education in this country?

Why are seen as exclusive to the rich only?

People ignore the functions fulfilled education

through history as a public good.

STATE OF THE UNION PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT

JANUARY 11, 1944

Some economic truths are obvious.

Among them, the right to a good education.

After World War II, the GI Bill was passed,

made it possible for men

who had never set foot in a university campus,

saved as trustees the splitters, perhaps,

passing through its doors as students.

More than two million veterans used the GI Bill.

It was a free opportunity granted by the state.

LOUIS MENAND - AUTOR, THE METAPHYSICAL CLUB

And it made a difference for the American middle class.

The expansion of higher education franchise

But in 1970, they made life difficult for students.

see it exclusively as a private good.

RONALD REAGAN - California Governor - 1967-1975

Los conservative governors, in particular, Reagan of California,

had the idea

that higher education was a waste of taxpayers money.

Governor Reagan said

that the state should not subsidize intellectual curiosity.

And then he ran for president

and promised to dissolve the Ministry of Education.

ECONOMIC ADVISORY COUNCIL PRESIDENT REAGAN, 1984

Certain directors began to say

to be paid by any private benefit.

MILTON FRIEDMAN -ASESOR PRESIDENT REAGAN

The free word is a word that is misused.

We speak of "free education."

Education is not free. It costs money.

If it is something that will be good for people

to get a job and earn more money,

finance and investment should make themselves.

We have to keep the government out.

Let people develop their skills, solve their problems.

We stop expanding higher education

graduation rates continued to increase,

and decreased access of the poor to higher education.

REGISTRATION PAID BY AN Pell Grant

In the seventies, a Pell grant was enough to pay for tuition

in an average public institution.

But today the Pell grant pays part of tuition.

This grew the loan industry

it ended up being the largest source of money to enroll.

STUDENT LOANS FOR YEAR - 5113 BILLION

The student loan program was never intended to be so big.

TOTAL STUDENT LOAN DEBT IN USA

Marks an amazing milestone.

The combined debt of the country in these loans reached $ 1 trillion.

It is larger than credit card debt in the country.

The average student now graduates with a debt of more than 325,000.

I grew up in a modest home.

They always told me that hard I tried,

and if pursued my dreams, would my reward,

STEFANIE GRAY - HUNTER COLLEGE GRADUATE

and should into debt to educate,

to achieve those dreams.

Months after graduating, started calling collectors,

and you said I could not pay.

Even with a master's

could not use to clean bathrooms at a local hotel.

He lived with food stamps. He lived beans and rice.

Stefanie 8140000 owe more student loan.

Like Stefanie, almost half of college graduates

under 25 were unemployed or underemployed in 2013.

20 years ago, we would have said

all the boys were not going to college were victims,

and now they

PETER THIEL - COFUNDADOR DE PAYPAL - THIEL FELLOWSHIP

many who do go to college are also victims.

It is as an agent of subprime mortgages that defrauded you

and convince you to buy a house you could not afford.

In some respects, education is more insidious than housing.

Student loans do not have the same safety valve

you see in the mortgage market, in the sense

that there is no execution

and, in fact, not bankruptcy.

Restore bankruptcy protection for all

More than half of the loans in arrears

or not met.

OBJECTION TO CANCEL THE DEBT

By not complying with these loans,

interest applies to capital.

And it is very common to see

balances the original 10 or $ 20,000

scaled to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I started with 378,000.

"I majored in DEBT"

3106000 only it ends with interest.

You will have to pay that debt

that balance and increase until the day you die.

That's the kind of crap

that our government uses against our youth.

The government will have a profit of $ 184 billion

ELIZABETH WARREN IN MASSACHUSETTS SENATOR

over the next 10 years.

And those gains are at the expense of our kids

that attempt to receive education.

I think the whole system sucks.

Sallie Mae is the largest provider of student loans in USA

Education is a right! - USSA Student Association USA

-, Do we? - Education!

When do we want? - Now!

We can not continue to treat student debt

as an individual issue.

As a society, we can not have an indebted generation.

PROTESTS "1T DAY" $ 1 BILLION STUDENT DEBT

When you reach 850,000 in debt, you need a break

to see the value of the education you are receiving.

Do not want to go into debt and that deter you from investing

starting a family, a home, a car, have children.

The value of my education is priceless

but the value of my education is not a debt of 8.14 million.

If ever I have children,

my private loans pass them when I die.

Should I let go of my dreams,

and I feel bad to talk about the dreams that I have today,

throughout the conversation

that Generation Y is selfish

only for wanting opportunities than their parents had.

And the older generations, who criticize the millennial generation,

grew up in a time where you went to a public university

with and were paying summer jobs.

These children of the millennium came to college and saw:

"There is no money to pay for me.

"I'm not going to graduate and have a cushy job.

"And in fact, all they told me how the world works

"It is not so."

The student debt crisis joined

to increase enrollment in the past 30 years,

is just a perfect storm, a nightmare.

APRIL 23, 2013

After 18 months of intense analysis, the board voted

MARK EPSTEIN - CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

charge tuition to students entering Cooper Union

from 2014.

Cooper Union is not free, the end of an era

After the announcement was made, I spoke with Jamshed.

Jamshed waving his hands, screaming, werent.

Just outside the faculty,

there was much suffering.

People were angry.

A chaotic energy perceived.

It seemed that something could happen at any time.

The moments before the action starts

They are the most exciting and the most frightening.

It was a session with a lot of planning.

Obviously, they can do this and can spend above.

They can do that and they are doing it.

What we do now is the big question.

We must move forward.

We did not know what to do,

but people said: "We must do something.

"Let's go to the office of president."

"Eso haremos".

We walked about 40 people, maybe more.

¿Lawrence?

- The door. - Lawrence?

The clerk tried to say: "Do not go"

but were forty.

Jamshed was not there.

"Students at Cooper Union for Science and the Arts

"We can no longer adhere to the direction taken by our university

"Under the direction of Jamshed Bharucha.

"Vote by mistrust and unite to Cooper Union is free."

I have a statement to read.

T.C. WESTCOTT - VICERECTOR, FINANZAS - COOPER UNION

First let me say that he would prefer to leave.

"Students and others involved

"In one sitting in the office of rector are breaking.

"We give them an hour to go.

"Whoever remains in 7th floor after that time

"Shall be subject to disciplinary action."

At one point we left try.

I'm official Cooper Union!

I have a foot in the door!

I have a hand on the door!

They endanger students!

Her hand is on the door!

They say the police will come.

Is it true?

- ¿La police? - Va a venir.

Are the police in the building?

There are security guards on the other side of the glass,

and two or three men.

There was a very bad situation in the lobby.

And they called the police.

I took the additional security guards.

Police also removed.

8 MAY 2013 FIRST NIGHT OF MAKING

Five, four, three, two, one.

¡Cooper Union Free!

For many of us, it was the first time in the principal's office.

We had a red light and we did hear the shot.

It was like being in a submarine.

A shared experience

is hard to sleep with so much energy in the air.

Being there was some physical issue,

have to refrain from your normal life,

is a powerful thing.

This action space is also a great opportunity

so no we impose no structure.

And do not try to ask permission or apologize to anyone

because we did not regret.

13 MAY 2013 SIXTH DAY OF SHOOTING

The Bharucha rector decides to meet with students in his office.

All college does not trust

in their ability to direct The Cooper Union.

If people do not trust, means

you can not recover that trust,

because there is nothing left.

It's a bit simplistic to say that:

"Do not do this, do that."

DON BLAUWEISS - CONSEJERO EXALUMNO - COOPER UNION

I'm on the board. I supported the no tuition.

The numbers are what they are.

How they came to that, they are where they are now.

¡No!

Can I finish?

Must go. They are very rude.

I would like it to be calm tone of all this talk.

I think it's pretty clear to everyone

that this time is unlike any other.

Estrin BOB LAST YEAR, COOPER UNION

SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE

We have not reached this point.

And I think that we must abandon the old dialogue,

because we are now in another position.

What we must do, it is simply

see the time in the country with a trillion dollars of student debt,

them models of higher education and business are failing.

It's time for this university

It is the vision of what can be education in this country,

as it was 150 years ago.

It was part of a radical capitalist vision,

rooted in an idea of ​​the century, humanity, and is an idea

I consider very contemporary and urgent. Yeah?

To address effectively,

should see the time and the position found.

It is a historical position, it is a historic moment.

It's a great way to meet with us,

but we need a leap, not a gamble.

MARCH FOR HIGHER EDUCATION

Clearly, las universities are in crisis.

The inflation is out of control.

It is not signed or the kids or their parents.

For years, we said that college is a great investment after all.

And now people are beginning to question hard

the role of universities in American society,

authority they have, their moral superiority.

MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE Prospects for USA

The higher education sector changed to negative

Moody's says the university is no longer valid.

The high cost of college more public doubts

on the value of the degree

Does the college is a bad investment?

They have generated prospects that revieran

especially the higher education sector and negative.

There will be a collapse.

One way or another, there will be a crisis.

It got to the point where the price is so high a degree

PETER SCHIFF AUTOR DE CRASH PROOF 2.0

people no longer want to pay.

Universities do not talk about this.

UNIVERSIDAD WESLEYAN

They want to pretend

that education is something for nothing financial.

It is an end in itself.

There are many noble ideals, but no sense

when people get into debt in 3100 or 3.2 million to study.

PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS DAY WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY

No one believes more in the liberal arts

whoever is speaking today.

MICHAEL ROTH RECTOR, UNIVERSIDAD WESLEYAN

A! start college, you discover what you love to do.

Can be theater and biology.

Neuroscience and religion.

Whatever it is, it's time to have the chance to experience,

open to new things,

discover who they are and who they want to become.

¿Mr. sir?

What he said is very exciting.

Reminds me of when I was in school.

But the truth is

many of us to give him a lot of money.

- Tell me something. - Yes.

My daughter will use

and will not be home when finished?

"Your daughter will work and not coming home?"

I can not assure you,

but now is not the time to be defensive in education.

It's time to be aggressive on the broad education,

intensely personal and practical

whatever may be the college you attend.

And it is expensive.

I know. I have to tell them to you.

We are comfortably settled in this review

that there is only one way to go to college.

LISA RUCINSKI - MOTHER OF SECONDARY STUDENT

And it's the four-year private college,

with your children living in dormitories with your friends

where they give someone all meals and clean them the bathroom.

I am very stressed about the college search.

AROUND CAMPUS UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK

If you look there,

they will see the new One World Trade being built.

Every parent I know college will seek their children.

Welcome to the Bobst Library.

As you can see, you are a huge building.

Altogether there are nine libraries at NYU,

about six million copies.

I want this for my children.

Too bad it costs 360,000 a year

and indeed the costs.

This is the main building of the campus of NYU students.

We have two athletic facilities.

They have pools.

One even has an arena.

There is a squash court. If you like sports ...

It's a big change in thinking something different

when our children go after a college degree.

Going to college is the way to avoid thinking about the future.

"What are you doing with your life?"

"I do not know, I'll get another title."

And instead of getting a degree after another in a race,

I think it is very important to consider seriously:

"If you were not college, what would you do?".

AMERICAN MORNING - THE UNIVERSITY IS overrated?

Peter Thiel, quien fundó PayPal, financió Facebook,

provides $ 100,000 to 24 college students

if they leave the race and start their own company.

San Francisco is home to a "non-university" movement

respaldado por Thiel Fellowship.

HACKING YOUR EDUCATION

The non-university program encourages young

to leave college and "hack" their education.

MEETING THE UNIVERSITY FULTON STREET, SAN FRANCISCO

When you think of hacking,

the first thing they think about is computer hacking.

Hacking your education is to find an alternative.

KYRIE BYER, 18 YEARS COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO

Maybe go to college, maybe not. That's why I'm here.

SEMINAR HACKADÉMICO

If you challenge you not to go to college,

or go to college

and make the most,

you should think about what you're paying

and what your parents are paying.

MICHAEL STATON SOCIO, LEARN CAPITAL

The idea of ​​going to parties with alcohol four years sounds good

but when you think about what your parents pay,

what is actually paid

do not stay behind in the information economy, right?

HACKING YOUR EDUCATION

They always tell me: "Do not you ruin the lives of people

"Encouraging them to take risks and not go to college?".

J. DALE STEPHENS FOUNDER UNCOLLEGE.ORG

DALE STEPHENS, FOUNDER UnCollege - MEMBER THIEL

It's risky to go to college and take on a debt of 820,000 a year

to have a dismal future employment when you leave

and start paying that debt.

For me, it is a very high risk.

If we look at higher education

see that you are paying

by a lot of mythical things you should get.

So I'm here to give you a framework

to see what types of services they could access

which could complement or replace the university.

I divided the university into three parts.

The first is to engage with educational content.

What gives college? 1 - KNOWLEDGE

They could acquire knowledge through a class.

Then there is the network of affiliations.

2 - PEER NETWORK

Lasting relationships with people who care for you,

will help you find opportunities.

And the third is the accepted value,

3 - TÍTULO/DIPLOMA

it really is a piece of paper

alcanzaste certifying that a minimum level of competence.

When I went to college, there was no access to services

that higher education easily and free offers on the internet.

And you can now do it.

What do you see in a world

ELIZABETH STARK MENTORA, THIEL FELLOWSHIP

where the title does not really matter,

but people say: "I left college, but ..."?

One is not going to say that.

I would not necessarily leave the input power,

but I will look and say, "You have experience."

As paid college myself, I noticed

SIOUXSIE DOWNS, 18 AÑOS BOULDER, COLORADO

it was very expensive for me.

I need work experience, life experience,

out of college and start my own path.

Now there are about 4,000 schools.

In a couple of years, all that amount disappear

and the only universities that will matter in the future

will be the prestigious Ivy League

made a name for themselves.

My mom did not go to college,

but my dad is a person who benefited from the university.

They thought I was crazy.

They said: "What is this?

"A group of kids who come to San Francisco

"And does not want to go to college ?.

They thought it was more like a cult.

A friend told me:

"Está Education Hackerhouse,

"You have to know"

ELIZABETH STARK MENTORA, THIEL FELLOWSHIP

because he thought the future of education.

Education is a community space Hackerhouse

leavers where faculty work on educational projects.

I had no idea there was a community of people

as passionate about the future of knowledge and learning.

Hackers slept in bunk beds and worked into their applications.

We gatherings in the backyard.

Several projects came out of that house.

It is a community of people who believe

we should not cling to traditional institutions.

33200000 The proposal to pay for a title is not worth much,

especially if you do not go to an Ivy League.

I did not want to go to college for the cost in time and money,

CATHERINE STEVENS, 19 AÑOS RESIDENTE DE HACKERHOUSE

and I thought this would be an excellent place

to obtain the equivalent of a university,

because I receive education

Live with entrepreneurs and technology people.

Obliga me to mature,

because you have to wash the dishes,

cook for,

pay rent, all that stuff.

In Silicon Valley, do not care about honor or experience.

We care skills.

As advances all titles imported them less and less.

You should not have debt 3200000 or 35200000

to learn a lot, very talented,

and show the world what you can do.

I left college to work on Facebook full time.

Co-founder Mark Zuckerberg Facebook

Later I talked to my mom,

and told me that she knew he was leaving the university.

The New York Times COLLEGE IS FOR FOOLS

"Why pay money if I can make money?"

There are many very successful entrepreneurs,

billionaires

not gone to college.

In fact, I would say today,

PETER SCHIFF AUTOR DE CRASH PROOF 2.0

Internet and the ease with which you can autoeducarte,

there are more reasons than ever not to go to college.

ANTHONY CARNEVALE UNIVERSIDAD GEORGETOWN

Honestly, it's a very bad advice,

because all these people were exceptions to the rule.

They did this despite a system that is said would not.

Steve Jobs - ABANDONÓ THE Universidad Reed in 1973

I think it's a much more difficult question

what you do for people

origen of average, the less likely.

I have no answers for that.

MICHAEL ROTH RECTOR, UNIVERSIDAD WESLEYAN

Many intellectuals say

it would be better than some never went to college.

I think it's an attack on democracy,

and an attempt to keep people in place

and reinforce social inequality.

CLASS PHILOSOPHY OF RECTOR ROTH

Education should promote mobility partner! and equality.

You have to be crazy not to get a degree purposely

if you have the chance.

If the college really is that,

qualified on the ground in a particular field,

Learning to learn.

That can open up to new things in your life after college.

Part of our responsibility as educators

is to help inspire students to see problems in the world,

because they leave many problems

and I think they know they want to commit.

GRADUATE

We have three orders,

I know it has been a difficult time for the community of Cooper Union.

ALCALDE MICHAEL BLOOMBERG OPENING SPEECH

There is anger and disappointment on the issue of tuition.

But the debate is not whether education should be free.

It's about who can and is willing to pay.

In life nothing is free.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY

A change is coming. It has to come a change.

The experience of four-year residency is the gold standard.

JOHN HENNESSY - RECTOR, UNIVERSIDAD DE STANFORD

Small classes, much intimate contact.

FACULTY d. STANFORD INSTITUTE OF DESIGN

How do we approach this ideal while reducing costs?

Technology should be a big part of that solution.

In 2011, a group of professors from Stanford shook

to higher education with the promise of free lessons online.

Some people, including the president of Stanford,

UNIVERSIDAD WASHINGTON & LEE CONVOCATORIA 2013

using the metaphor of a tsunami,

MOOC believe, "and Massive Open Online Courses"

will transform the American higher education,

and around the world, beyond recognition

and devastate everything that is associated with universities like this.

The revolution started when MOOC

Daphne Koller, mi colleague in computer science,

DAPHNE Koller co-founder of Course

He came to me a few years ago.

He spoke of a different way of teaching with online technology.

Then Sebastian Thrun recruited to try some experiments.

CO-FOUNDER OF SEBASTIAN THRUN Udacity

Welcome to online introduction to artificial intelligence.

THE FIRST MOOC

Me llamo Sebastian Thrun.

Teaches this course at Stanford,

and now we take it online for everyone.

We are very excited.

Sebastian said, "Let's open this course to everyone."

I must say that was generated a bit of chaos,

but there was also enthusiasm,

especially when hundreds of thousands of students

began to show interest.

DAPHNE Koller co-founder of Course

We had the opportunity to change the access

hundreds of thousands or millions of people had

to an education that could never have obtained otherwise.

There's a red pill and a blue.

CO-FOUNDER OF SEBASTIAN THRUN Udacity

You can take the blue pill

and go back to your classroom and teach your 20 students.

But I took the red pill,

and seen the Wonderland.

Having done this, I can not teach at Stanford again.

Teachers who participated in the first round of MOOC,

left Stanford to start their own businesses.

WELCOME TO Coursera Udacity

I do not know why people learn. That's the fundamental question.

WELCOME TO Udacity

For me, it is an interactive medium that empowers students

Like a video game.

Udacity DESIGN TEAM

So we ask:

"Is there a different way of teaching

"Allowing students to discover for themselves how to solve problems?".

Returning a part of this code

STUDIO PRODUCTION Udacity

you need more explanation, and this is called core.

This is the name of the call center.

The way I teach is very different

when I do it on camera in the classroom.

INSTRUCTOR JOHN OWENS Udacity

The most commonly seen are the hands,

and that makes it more humane for students

but if looking at the blackboard.

But it's all I see, literally.

As far as they know, I'm a robot.

Certainly, we are ...

I guess we're controversial,

because we remove the focus from the teacher,

and place it in the student.

Does it make sense to have 500 teachers

at 500 different universities

teaching students in a very similar way,

or would you rather put the rock star

ten times longer?

Perhaps the rock star do a better job for those students.

I screwed up in the last sentence.

Try it again. For example ...

Students united will never be divided!

MARCHA THE LEGISLATURE TO SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA

What happens in higher education is not good for America

Nor youth.

JERRY BROWN California governor

This huge cost structure

which is part of the privatization of so much of our society,

Where we are out of hand? I think now.

Entre 2008 y 2013, California redujo

financing of higher education in more than a quarter.

I do not want to increase enrollment,

I do not know if I can convince my colleagues in the legislature

to provide more money.

We have to find ways to change the design.

In 2012, received an email deci:

"My name is Governor Brown. Should talk."

Estaba leyendo The New York Times un domingo,

and I saw his name, I searched his email and wrote.

He called me right away.

We spoke by phone one hour, and Brown explained:

"It has focused

"To bring first-rate education from Stanford to the world.

"But the disaster that is California.

"It's the lowest level at which many children are relegated."

Since its inception, California was a place of pioneers and vermin

and bold people.

The University System of the State of California is part of that lineage.

California pioneered the best public education system in the world.

A MASTER PLAN of Higher Education in California

Ports 1960-1975 Clark Kerr

They saw higher education as a better life for Californians

and a better economy.

And YES we

what California has contributed to the economy of USA,

largely be traced back to its system of higher education.

It was a staggered system

with tertiary institutions,

TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS OF CALIFORNIA

state universities,

SYSTEM STATE OF CALIFORNIA

and research universities.

THE UC SYSTEM

A system that virtually garantizaba college education

every high school graduate in the state of California.

Clark Kerr's vision of education offered at all levels,

and students could move forward.

California Prosperous largely

Rector of the University of California 1958-1967

by the degree of opportunity for all its citizens

adequate to ensure their interests and skills education.

The California system remains a model for the rest of the country.

The problem now is that the state withdrew

its financial commitment to these systems,

and the ideal is at risk.

84% of students in the California system does not graduate in 4 years.

Only 16% of California delos students to graduate in four years

and the longer you stay, the more you spend.

This is a big problem

with student debt reaches one trillion dollars.

San José State University

University System of the State of California

Our students are very dedicated.

Many of them are first generation college,

and over 50% must attend support classes.

But with increasing budget cuts,

ELLEN Junn - CHANCELLOR, UNIVERSITY OF SAN JOSE PUBLIC

we can give the course apoyo mathematics in both semesters.

My goal as President is to do a pilot.

California will provide online courses as gran experiment

will begin to support courses

San Jose could be a laboratory for students with material MOOC.

Our goal is to focus on initial courses give credits.

That's the key, they will give college credit.

that San Jose would like to participate in something like Udacity.

DRA. RITA MANNING - INTRODUCTION TO LAW MINISTER OF

We license our education to an external enterprise.

RITA MANNING OF PUBLIC UNIVERSIDAD SAN JOSÉ

I would not hire an entrepreneur to remodel the bathroom in my house.

What happens in California is a crisis management tactic.

Public funding is exhausted,

so they must offer more courses for less money,

ANN LARSON - ASSISTANT PROFESSOR AND ACTIVIST

and set a course on the Internet seems to be the easiest way.

But as to whether or not the best way,

or who will benefit should make this decision,

I have not heard an honest conversation about it.

We give taxpayer money to a private company.

We're ready for the first question.

How will you pay Udacity?

And how much?

We can not disclose the amount. I'm sorry.

If we are going to spend money, why give to Udacity?

Why not hire people who give classes?

The idea of ​​a public university funded and accessible

is at risk.

We are creating hierarchies

where students can pay

interact face to face with teachers,

and those without,

Inputs to YouTube.

The results Udacity courses at SJSU revealed in July 2013.

I think the results of the first Udacity courses are profound.

Information is outrageous.

Udacity / SAN JOSÉ APPROVED

213 students were enrolled

The pass rate in Udacity Elementary Statistics was 50.5%.

College Algebra, 25.4%.

Introduction to Mathematics, 23.8%.

That is, it's terrifying.

We want the silver bullet.

PETER Hadreas CHIEF OF THE CHAIR OF PHILOSOPHY

PUBLIC UNIVERSITY OF SAN JOSE

The magic pill.

Unfortunately, there.

And certainly not Udacity.

What ruined! They did not learn the material.

Did not proceed to the next level courses.

Wow!

Retention rates and approved online courses

are lower than in classroom courses

because you can not force someone to learn.

Similarly, students should have

discipline, motivation and persistence.

Sure. But it could also be said that a teacher should have

that takes those qualities in them and prepare them.

We try to do with online mentors.

They look much our hands throughout the course,

but we show our faces

DOS to know better.

Fue horrible

Udacity FORUM

The questions are useless, no refund

I'm lost, it's no use.

Students who need more attention,

Ready to leave

my confidence is shattered

who are unsure of their ability to learn,

Frustrated by the lack of answers

There is no way to understand what you were wrong.

There is much evidence

that these students do not learn the MOOC.

Confusing, ambiguous and totally unreasonable.

I'm not ready to leave Clark Kerr's vision for California,

Silicon Valley and make it say:

"Onward and upward, pick us from this morass."

The following semester, the San Jose State University

"He paused" its link with Udacity.

I have work to do.

CS50 this week is stupid.

-, What is it? - Did you hear the E-Trade? That's it.

- That of the shares? - We must build an online investment.

I'm sitting there and think, "This is too much."

Y begin to wonder if IBA to be able to finish.

If I would be able to do this.

I just want to enhance what I have

and not take much aware of things for which I'm no good,

because there are ten people in your class

with which you can connect, work and collaborate.

Look at this.

It is a computer class

SARAH Shishkin - 1 ° AÑO DE HARVARD - A ASISTE CS50

that, in large measure, it could be taught online,

but just look at how many people in this room need help.

They need help in person. That's why they are here.

Can you explain? I do not know what it means.

When you see the brackets denote an array.

After that, it's "eat session ID"

Should there be more commas?

By doing this,

DAVID Malan teachers CS50

avoid one of the attacks we spoke briefly

an SQL injection attack.

I demand continued commitment to students,

and teachers.

Most are awake at dawn.

We have 24-hour coverage, seven days a week.

Students ask questions at any time

and receiving the response in minutes.

You're on track,

y Corrientes propongo you that temporarily Esto,

to make things work,

then you can incorporate additional data.

At least now, you can not replace a teacher

a robot or a talking head on the screen.

Nothing beats a hand to hand contact.

That's it. That was the problem.

The human experience has a certain magic,

and that is not matched.

In going to ese reemplazar type aprendizaje,

students to work together on projects that require their presence.

So how do we combine all

the face-to-face and online opportunities,

and how to create hybrid models?

INSTITUTO TERCIARIO BUNKER HILL

The colleges are the most flexible institutions there.

They are more open to alternative plans

INSTITUTO TERCIARIO BUNKER HILL BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS

because they always fought to educate

to underprivileged children in the United States.

INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER HYBRID COURSE EDX.

What we have achieved today

is looking edX classes.

If you have questions or problems,

now is the time to solve them.

The model is to teach turned into a classroom.

That means having class material

JAIME THE HAPPY PROFESOR Adjunto

INSTITUTO TERCIARIO BUNKER HILL

outside of class.

Students have an MIT professor in CIASES video

looking into THEIR homes.

When they finish the class, come here

work in small groups, talking to each other,

are encouraged to help, put to work,

use their problem solving skills and critical thinking.

The role of character brings any character with an ASCII value.

I guess maybe my method was a little different.

With the classroom upside down, remove the large class,

there is an opportunity

that the teacher spends time

helping students who are struggling.

¿Lo're testing, make sure that you work?

Very well.

How are we doing here?

We must do something for students to engage,

to learn. It is our work. That's why we're here.

It is an experimental mode. We have no choice but to go fast.

Experimentation will produce success and failure,

and we must learn to live with it,

because technology is the hope for many young people who, otherwise,

could not afford the education they need.

There is a tendency to thought / zar to elite universities.

I think the most important is to have ...

BEN WEEKS - ALUMNO, INSTITUTO TERCIARIO BUNKER HILL

The will to pursue your ideas and pass

time to be passionate about what they are working.

I think that's the dialogue you should have with yourself.

Here I spent much of my life.

It is one of the toughest neighborhoods of Cleveland.

This semester fue complicated.

I did not do well in the subjects, and I begin to question

if I stand to be there.

I just have to come back to reality and say:

"Wait, man, do everything you can."

If left Harvard, where Volvere begin.

I have not improved at all. I want to improve.

HOME OF THE GRANDPARENTS OF DAVID

I see you as a young man and say:

"It could have been a drug addict.

"I could have walked in the street, having been a bully."

But wanted to do something with your life,

and I'm very proud of that.

They will look at you and say:

"Es Ohio, Cleveland,

"And went to college to make something of his life."

But many people try to discourage you.

Do not let it.

Shame

the kids do not realize that they can

take advantage of all these opportunities,

for they are many.

Well, see you.

- All right, honey, we love you. - I love you too.

Nest, fantaseaba

and dreamed of what they wanted to do when I grew up.

What is normal for all life, where I come from is leaving school

and get a job in a factory.

Then I get stuck in poverty in the slums.

That's life for you. You do not know any better.

The university is the place where you discover that there is something better.

CS50 REGULAR

He finally ended. I survived the challenge of CS50!

It's a great project!

I just wanted to do more. Had a great goal ...

The more campus visits, plus discover

that the diversity of American students is overwhelming.

And everywhere I go, I know students

that give me hope for the future of our country.

It has been and will remain a challenge

keep an open university to give it best possible education

to as many people as possible.

In all querrán ESO.

Not everyone will be willing to take more education.

But we do not believe that the university exceeded its usefulness.

Not believe it is inevitable that public institutions

higher education continue to decline.

We have other options.

What kind of society do we want to be?

We should harness the idealism of youth

and provoke students to think for themselves,

to be critical about the way society is conjugated.

United States became critical thinking.

We turn in well in this country.

- Support the making! - Support the making!

- Support the mission! - Support the mission!

And I support the idea of ​​free and accessible education for all!

After 65 days, the students at Cooper Union

They take up the office of rector.

They formed a working group

with alumni and counselors to find a solution and not arancelar Cooper.

It was one of the longest shots in the student history.

All I know spent much of his time

and energy to try to save our university.

It's exhausting, and it becomes difficult.

There is still much to do.

In January 2014, the council voted to charge tuition entrants.

A favor.

It is tragic that the only resolution that comes to mind is the tuition fee

but I think that the announcement was not the end of an era.

It was the beginning of a campaign.

Maybe we wait to see the world in which we live.

We are STUDENTS NO CUSTOMERS

But every time someone says "You can not do that,"

will be a trigger and say:

"But you can."
