(DNAINFO)  Lisha Arino — An agreement expected to be filed Wednesday in New York State Supreme Court would end litigation against the Cooper Union.

As part of the agreement between the college, the Attorney General’s office and the Committee to Save Cooper Union — which filed the lawsuit last year — the school will  form a new committee that will explore ways for the school to return to its tuition-free model, a tradition that ended after more than 100 yearsbecause of financial concerns.

“Today we are uniting to preserve Cooper Union as a national treasure,” said Attorney General Eric Scheiderman in a press release.

“My office will ensure all sides work together to put Cooper Union back on a path to fiscal sustainability and, hopefully, to one day return the school to its tradition of free tuition.”
