WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF
A WORKING GROUP
| Friday, 12 July 2013 |
Joint Statement by Former Occupiers of the President's Office, the Administration, and Board of Trustees of The Cooper Union, July 15th, 2013
The administration, Board of Trustees of The Cooper Union and those members of the Cooper Union community who have been occupying the Office of the President since early May have reached an agreement that ended the occupation on Friday, July 12. A working group will be established promptly to undertake a good faith effort to seek an alternative to tuition that will sustain the institution's long-term financial viability and strengthen its academic excellence.
The working group will consist of Board, faculty, alumni, students and administration representatives and will submit its report to the administration and Board of Trustees for consideration at the December Board of Trustees Meeting.
The Board also confirmed, in accordance with the motion approved at the June Board meeting, that procedures for student representation on the Board will be established at the September meeting.
An interim room has been identified as a Community Commons that can serve as a student center or a community center for all members of the Cooper Community.
All individuals who have violated Cooper Union policies throughout the period of the occupation will be granted amnesty, and in turn, commit to complying with, and cooperating with the enforcement of, all laws and Cooper Union policies.
