      They only have like 1,300 students, at least that’s what I thought. And 600 staff was the ‘initial’ layoff?
      Doesn’t take a genius to realize there were a crap ton of people simple collecting a pay check for no reason.
      Seems to be a lot of that these days.

      😩 You're mistaken to think that the arts only involved paintings and sculptures although a room would look pretty bleak without some art hanging on the walls. Everything you see around you involved "the arts" from architecture/room, fabric and fashion, computer graphics and web page, book illustration, cartoons, video games, comic books, movies to product packaging designs, etc.

      @Numba1hunna83: 😉 You sound like someone who barely finished high school so no appreciation for higher formal education. It's not just about natural talent but also techniques, practice, history, and the knowledge base of a teacher. For example, Luke Skywalker always had a strong Force presence within him but without the proper teachers and training, would never have become a Jedi master. Harry Potter was always magical but without Hogwarts, would never become anything more than a snake charmer. Schools and teachers make a difference.

    I’m a working artist, a painter. I have a BFA and an MFA. To be an artist does NOT require an academic degree. I only got an MFA because I thought I wanted to teach college level art. By the end of my time in graduate school I realized that the academic environment was THE LAST PLACE ON EARTH I wanted to spend my life! The “study of art” in an educational institution is a SCAM. Good riddance!

      Stop acting like unions are Christ sent and firms are malicious. Unions push firms into making choices that don’t align with the markets they inhabit.
      If you make $100K revenue, pay one person $20K, have COGS AT $20K rent at $20K and pay yourself &20K

      ​@@rockpadstudioswhat is debt? Exactly what is money? Is any of it actually real? If governments create money and loan money, why don't they just hire the borrowers, yet zero government jobs explicitly give preference by the amount of student loans a candidate has. Then federal student loans are forgiven at death, as if the debt never existed.
      The system is not what you think.... Most Money, much less "debt", isn't real. You can't owe someone something that was created out of thin air, thus why so much gets loaned out then is "forgiven".

    When the money runs out news can be abrupt and it's generally not pretty, whether its a school, business, organization, or an individual. The number of staffers, 600, jumps out. Don't pretend to know the background of this university, but 600 staffers may itself be a contributing factor. Facility and staffing numbers at some universities can be mind boggling, and when it involves public funds should be treated criminally. One university pointed out on Bill Maher's program has over 300 combined full-time/part-time DEI staffers. 300 plus DEI staffers?

I ended up with a few $10k as a severance package on top of what I would have been paid anyway. If you're unceremoniously given the boot, you're probably either easily expendable or the business is shutting down or downsizing, as is the case here. If you're useful but too expensive, they're going to look for a gentle way to replace you. If you're convinced you're a good performer and aren't being recognized for it, you probably need a new job anyway. Just make sure your self-evaluation is correct before you start burning bridges.

      The "rising" designation has been around a very long time. I first heard it when I was referenced as a "rising senior" in high school during the summer after my junior year in 1982. It refers to a student who has finished one year, and is waiting for the next year to start. A rising junior is a student that has completed their sophomore year, and is waiting for their junior year classes to start. It's a term commonly used over a summer break.

    This is what happens when universities forget why they exist. In the end you have to make more than you spend and if your graduates cannot get jobs that actually pay money they will not be able to make any endowments. All colleges exist to provide the student with the skills and knowledge to successfully perform a profession. Many modern colleges, especially "arts" colleges, have come out and said that learning a profession is not why they are there. The say Education is a end in itself. This is why graduates cannot pay their loans or get paying jobs. And why university/colleges are closing on a weekly bases.

    Thanks 6ABC for highlighting only one side of the story and making sure to say the least about why this is even happening. All you said @2:22 was, "UotA officials have not said how or why they suddenly run out of money to pay bills." That's your reason right there, "they suddenly ran out of money to pay bills." Does it matter how or why? Sure, that could be a different story once the dust has settled and school officials and AG investigation reveal whatever is going on, but what right do any of these protestors have to demand an insolvent institution stay open? Meanwhile, these people are protesting like there's no where else to go to school for art diplomas. It's not like Philadelphia is a one-horse-one-stop-sign-one-school town. Why should they be "outraged" (@0:08) ??? How is this a "tragedy for every student" (@2:53) ??? A tragedy? A tragedy worthy of outrage? (Meanwhile, women who are not ready or don't want a baby right now are failing to prevent making a baby such that they think they can just hire a doctor and kill it for them, and millions of other Americans demand availability of such outrageous and tragic procedure known as the human baby abortion.) Seriously, how is this outrageous and tragic? What standard of outrage and tragedy exists such that this is, but aboriton isn't? Philadelphia is a bastion of liberalism and pro-abortion/choice, ain't a cheap city to live in either, and these people are crying that a PRIVATE school closed? Seriously, give me an example of any other justified outrage and tragedy that concludes that this too is outrageous and tragic?
    Meanwhile, small businesses and large stores all over the nation are shuttering their doors because of the fiscal impact of crime/theft, and/or mandates of exceptionally high rises in minimum pay, all in the aftermath of 20% currency inflation in less than 3 years.
    Our money is worth less, therefore everything costs more, the high price of fuel is multiplying that fact, and these people are outraged at _the school_ for having to shut down, basically because they can't afford to stay open? Why can't they afford it? Poor fiscal management on the part of the school? Or poor fiscal/economic management on the part of the national government? Or both?
    Seems to me these students are directing their protest at the wrong organization. Economic leadership of the nation's currency since Jan'21 has been outrageous and tragic, the absolute opposite of prosperity. It ain't Republicans running the money, ain't Republicans running this school, ain't Republicans running Philadelphia... I'm not surprised this school "suddenly ran out of money"--> that's what happens when you spend money you don't have. What's the national debt now? How much over-budget is the national deficit? Just think of all the income the school would have if the President weren't trying to discharge student loans, despite the SC telling him he can't do that.
    If free k-12 across the nation is insufficient to _begin_ a career in anything, such that 2-4 more years of school is necessary to _begin_ a career, please explain to me how making secondary education "tuition free" will improve the outcomes which _begin_ valuable, profitable, sustainable careers?
    How about a negotiation? I'll start: How about only the first two years of secondary education, only at in-state public schools, will be free *IF (and only if)* the student achieves a diploma? Failing that achievement means you gotta pay. Succeeding that achievement provides honest incentive to .... succeed. Why are we including failed and incomplete students with succeeded/completed/diploma'd in the student debt debacle Democrats are trying to shoe-horn into an already trillion-dollar budget deficit?
    No wonder this school had to close. No wonder our money is worth less. No wonder these people are outraged... because they're stoopid. Ladies and Gentlemen, exhibit 5,849 of the far reaching effects of voting for liberal/socialist legislation and leadership. You're making yourselves slaves to government handouts, and making those of us who don't need nor want to contribute to that, have to pay for it anyway. It is a social poverty for you to decide that I must pay for handouts you demand the gov't provide.

You don't need an expensive school to teach it or a degree from one to get a job doing it. If you are good at it, that's all any employer looking for an artist needs to know. I've learned more about video editing self teaching at home in the last month than I did in 3 years on campus. I'm not saying we don't need art schools, but we dont need overpriced ones that can somehow still fail like this.

    All the staff members were former students, because they couldn't find work anywhere else, thats why theres a one staff member to two student ratio.

      Actually , the world got along with great art and designs for hundreds of centuries before the first art degree was ever awarded. Turns out you don't need to spend 4 years and hundreds of thousands of dollars to understand color theory.

    I have the answer, if your institution offers worthless degrees and you employ 600 staff to oversee 1400 students this is what happens when the free handouts run out. Further education institutions run at a constant loss and rely on donations and taxpayer funding. If a private institution like this can go bankrupt because it doesn't provide value for money, perhaps its time to look at the publicly funded institutions because I suspect many of them are just wasting taxpayer money and the only reason they survive is public funding....combine that with the student loan debt forgiveness that JB authorised and you have to wonder if this is the best use of taxpayers funds.

    Here’s their problem:
    As of fall 2022 this “college” had a total of 1,313 students. By this news report “600 staff were fired during a conference call”. That’s an unsustainable staff to student ratio.

    Faculty aren't the only people working at a university. There's maintenance, IT, data entry, admissions, librarians, purchasers, designers, food service, administrators, records, and resident assistants, and at larger universities, there's athletics, campus police, event security, on-campus student housing, groundskeepers, research assistants, archivists, alumni relations, fundraising, and publishing.
