"There were lots of pics of the board members with the names of corporations they're involved with... They had a cool timeline of Cooper Union's role in development in the East Vill and how it corresponded to the national increase in student loan debt... and a video of Hitler and his Nazis talking in subtitles about paying tuition at Cooper Union."
Student artists have created posters that convey a generally unfavorable view of Cooper's financial dealings. One says "FUCKINTUITION" and another shows Peter Cooper sitting on a table with a $38,000 price tag attached to him--the caption reads, "Pay up sucka!"
$38,000 is, perhaps, the tuition fee being considered.
Another poster plays on the "green" nature of the new engineering building--here built of 100-dollar bills--and its position as a supposed structure of worship to be hailed. The poster may be implying that this building was a flagrant waste of money.
"...and they have a giant blow-up rat outside."
