    On Cooper and Tuition (The Tragic Loss of a Virtue) - Oct. 30, 2011 →

    To say that attending Cooper Union has fundamentally changed the way I see and interact with the world would be a severe understatement. The value of the opportunities and revelations that happened within and through this great institution cannot be calculated. The way that I came to believe that higher education can change a person’s nature and affect his character and way of life came from the people and resources that I was fortunate enough to encounter and receive at The Cooper Union. It troubles me that the essence of the institution may change irreversibly if the present and succeeding generation of students were to be charged for tuition.”
