I believe that was significantly influenced by the articulate and responsive presentation by the Board chair at the meeting with students, faculty and staff (which many reporters watched via live streaming video.) The facts and the important points were clearly made, and the sense of dedication and commitment to the institution shone through. Sincerely, Lloyd Kaplan Lloyd Kaplan Chairman LAK Public Relations.

Below are a selected group of article links we believe represent the total coverage. As we know, it's almost impossible to control the story a reporter writes. There are corrections to facts that Claire and LA&K are/have been working on. Other aspects of some articles are misleading but there isn't much we can do about that.... Overall, I am hearing that the coverage has been widespread, balanced and has included many of the key points we have made. In any case, if you would like to see all of the articles, please let me know and I will email them to you. At the moment I have about 40. On another note, I also want to inform you that the campus has been fairly quiet today. No disruptions. No protests. http://www.nvtimes.com/2013/04/24/nvregion/cooper-union-to-charge-underaraduates- tuition.htmPpagewanted=all& r=0 http://online.wsi.com/article/SB10001424127887323735604578440763138571882.html http://online.wsi.com/article/AP7ad592a27e5a4e84b75bfd97f2d40614.html?KEYWORDS=cooper+union http://www.nydailvnews.cominew-vork/education/cooper-union-break-tradition-charge4uition-article- 1.1325599ttixzz2ROEvZv3z http://Www.crainsnewvork,c.om/article/20130423/PROFESSIONAL SERVICES/130429965 http://www.wnyc.org/blods/wnyc-news-blog/2013/apr/23/cooper-union-send-out-tuition-bills-2014/ EFTA_R1_00493097 EFTA01997722 Lawrence Cacciatore Chief of Staff and Secretary to the Board of Trustees Office of the President The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art EFTA_R1_00493098 EFTA01997723
