| Summary: | This summer, University of the Arts in Philadelphia abruptly announced they would be closing their doors at the start of June. The institution had long been embroiled in financial woes, but students and members of the faculty were stunned by the sudden closure. UArts, as it was known, was nearly 150 years old, enrolled 1,149 students and employed 700 faculty and staff members. All of them found out about the closure from a Philadelphia Inquirer article and only later received verification from the school itself. This case explores what happened and asks students to discuss the missteps in governance and leadership that led to this point. |
