NEW YORK (AP) — In a story Aug. 15, The Associated Press reported that undergraduates at Cooper Union paid tuition before 1902, and that the school then became free. The story should have made clear that while some students paid for classes in the school’s early years, it was always free for others. There was no tuition from at least 1902 until graduate students started paying tuition last year.
