Free University-NYC is proud to announce that we’re hosting a “pop-up” Free University outside Cooper Union this Saturday, May 18, from 3pm to 8pm, in solidarity with Cooper Union students who have occupied their president’s office since Wednesday, May 8, to oppose a $20,000 tuition implementation and an unaccountable administration. An outdoor film screening will follow.

Our theme for this Free University is “How can we free education?” We wish to gather people with a range of knowledges, theoretical and practical approaches both inside and outside the classroom, and historical lessons from around the world. Please share with friends, colleagues, and comrades.

Please contact us with any questions at FreeUniversityNYC@gmail.com, and we look forward to seeing you this Saturday.
