What Made NYU to Merge with the Polytechnic Institute in 1973: Historical Backgrounds and Financial Difficulties
Tandon School of Engineering has two different origins: one from Brooklyn Collegiate and Polytechnic Institute and the other from University of the City of New York. There were two mergers in 1973 and 2014, which caused the institution to change their names a couple of times for several reasons. Through this exhibit, I will be investigating about why these transitions happened, focusing on the 1973 merger with the historical background and analyzing the financial difficulties that these institutions went through at that time.
