Cooper Union financial crisis and tuition protests : ウィキペディア英語版 | Cooper Union financial crisis and tuition protests The Cooper Union financial crisis and tuition protests constitute the events surrounding Cooper Union's announcement that they would begin charging tuition after being a tuition-free school for most of its history. The possible mismanagement of the school's finances and the subsequent reactions of students, faculty, alumni and organized protest groups attracted widespread media attention. Activist groups staged a series of occupations and protests demanding the resignation of the school president, Jamshed Bharucha, promoting a vote of no confidence in Bharuchawho resigned in 2015and insisting that the administration address the concerns of students, faculty, alumni, and the public, and alternate plans to avoid having the school charging tuition. It has been reported that the Cooper Union financial crisis was due to a combination of problems caused by poor fiscal decisions, lack of accountability, the economic recession of the late 2000s, the selling off of the institution's assets, and taking on significant debt due to the 2009 building of 41 Cooper Square, which cost the school . In fiscal year 2009 ending in June, Cooper Union's managed assets (including investments in hedge funds) lost 14%, and the value of its endowment in 2013 was lower than it was at the end of fiscal year 2008, even as the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index hit new highs.〔 Cooper Union assessed tuition for the freshman class of 2014, with plans for tuition for future students. The New York State Attorney General reached an agreement in September 2015 to settle a lawsuit filed by the Committee to Save Cooper Union against the Board of Trustees. A consent decree, signed by the Attorney General and both parties in the lawsuit and pending court approval, outlined additional fiscal and administrative oversight of the school by the Attorney General and made provisions for students, alumni, and faculty, who would work with the Board of Trustees to determine how Cooper Union could return to a tuition-free school. ==Timeline==
