Starr Research Foundation are exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "IRC"). Astor Place is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(2) of the IRC. The College follows the provisions of the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes. ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. This standard provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the consolidated financial statements only if the position is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. The College is exempt from Federal and New York State income taxation by virtue of being an organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the IRC and similar provisions of the New York State tax code. Nevertheless, the College may be subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purpose, unless that income is otherwise excluded by the IRC. The College believes that there are no material uncertain tax positions within its 2020 and 2019 consolidated financial statements. true true true true true true true false false false false false false false false true false true PART I LINE 3: THE COOPER UNION IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING A LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FREE FROM UNLAWFUL DISCRIMINATION AND HARASSMENT AND TO FOSTERING A NURTURING AND VIBRANT SCHOOL FOUNDED UPON THE FUNDAMENTAL DIGNITY AND WORTH OF ALL ITS MEMBERS.
