The Free University of New York (FUNY) was an educational social enterprise initiated by Allen Krebs, Sharon Krebs and James Mellen in July 1965.〔 as reproduced in 〕 FUNY began as a home for professors dismissed from local universities for protesting the Vietnam War, or for holding socialist views. Course topics included: Black Liberation, Revolutionary Art and Ethics, Community Organization, The American Radical Tradition, Cuba and China, and Imperialism and Social Structure. FUNY opened on July 6, 1965 in a loft at 20 East 14th Street overlooking Union Square. FUNY began as an experimental school for the New Left, built on models such as Black Mountain College (North Carolina), though it became closely aligned with the Maoist Progressive Labor Party. Tuition for the 10 week session was $24 for the first course, and $8 for each additional course; welfare recipients could attend for free.〔(Poster for Fall Session of Free University of New York ), accessed March 30, 2013〕 After the first year, many of the initial collaborators left or were forced to leave, and it shut down a few years later.〔(Ferment Magazine ) by Roy Lisker, accessed July 16, 2012〕〔 ==Notable participants== * Herbert Aptheker * Stanley Aronowitz * Lee Baxandall * Charles R.
