http://www.democracynow.org - Students and administrators at New York City's Cooper Union are clashing over the future of one of the last private universities in the United States to offer free tuition. Activists are occupying the president's office for a ninth day after the school said fiscal problems would force an end to more than a century of free tuition for undergraduates. We host a debate with three guests: Mark Epstein, the chairman of the Board of Trustees for Cooper Union; Victoria Sobel, a Cooper Union student organizer who is among the activists who have occupied the president's office for over a week; and Reuters finance blogger Felix Salmon.
