A slick website and a fake letter claiming to be from University President Jamshed Bharucha are part of a hoax claiming that dire financial straits have pushed Cooper Union to sell its New Academic Building at 41 Cooper Square to NYU. As part of the joke, the letter also informed that Bharucha, his partner, and their two cocker spaniels would be relocating from Cooper Union's landmark Presidents Residence to a student dorm at 29 Third Avenue.
