MOOCs (massive open online courses) have been both hailed as a possible solution to providing low-cost, high-quality education and derided as a destructive reallocation of resources from public education to private corporations. Much of the existing debate is centered on the possibility of replacing a physical experience of education with a virtual one; the dispute is also necessarily entangled with the crisis of rising educational costs in the United States.

Last night five members of the Cooper Union’s board of trustees resigned: real estate mogul Mark Epstein (the board’s former chairman), Vassar College president Catharine Bond Hill, architects Daniel Libeskind and Francois de Menil, and investment banker Monica Vachher. Three of the departing trustees — Epstein, Libeskind, and Vachher — have written public resignation letters claiming that the reasons for their departure have nothing with to do with the board of trustees’ controversial decision to discontinue the full scholarships that Cooper Union had given to every enrolled student for over 150 years, but rather the ineffectuality of the board itself. Their names have already been removed from the school’s trustees page.

When the 2010 earthquake hit Haiti, it leveled much of Jacmel’s colonial architecture, and the streets were given over to piles of rubble. In the wake of this disaster, visitors to the country’s cultural capital might be surprised to find that dozens of mosaics now enliven its walls, plazas, and public seating areas. The tiny, multicolored stones and ceramic fragments have become so ubiquitous that local officials have incorporated them into the city’s new logo. These days, “Jacmel” is almost synonymous with “mosaic.”
