administration

While students didn't get everything they wanted and the struggle continues, the relative swiftness of victory here is worth examining.

Last night, we learned that five trustees of the Cooper Union suddenly resigned from the board, including the board's recent chairman Mark Epstein. This is an unambiguous victory for anti-tuition organizers and activists, and a victory for the future of Cooper Union.

Student organizers have a wealth of strategic analysis and history to pull from when we start any campaign. Everything from power mapping to the classic Tactic Star, I'm sure we've all been to our share of workshops to hone our activism. However, the point I want to make today is that college and university administrations across the country do the same thing.
