\n PHILADELPHIA (AP) \u2014 The University of the Arts, an institution with roots more than a century and a half old in Philadelphia, has abruptly announced it will close in a week, citing declining enrollment and revenues as well as increasing expenses.University president Kerry Walk and the chair of the board of trustees, Judson Aaron, announced the June 7 closure in a notice posted Friday night on the university\u2019s website, calling it \u201cheartbreaking\u201d and \u201cdeeply painful.\u201d Separate town halls are planned Monday with students, faculty and staff, they said.Officials at the university \u2014 which has offered programs in design, fine arts, media arts, music, dance and theater \u2014 said summer courses will be canceled and a new class will not be enrolled in the fall. They vowed to help continuing students transfer to other institutions such as Temple and Drexel universities and the Moore College of Art and Design.<\/p>\n
Officials said University of the Arts had been in a \u201cfragile financial state\u201d like many institutions of higher learning following \u201cmany years of declining enrollments, declining revenues, and increasing expenses,\u201d but had made progress on improving its position.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnfortunately, however, we could not overcome the ultimate challenge we faced: with a cash position that has steadily weakened, we could not cover significant, unanticipated expenses,\u201d they said. \u201cThe situation came to light very suddenly. Despite swift action, we were unable to bridge the necessary gaps.\u201d<\/p>\n
Word of the closure initially came from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, which announced the withdrawal of the school\u2019s accreditation as of Saturday, saying it had been notified of the imminent closure Wednesday as the summer term started. School officials said that action came before they could announce the closure to the university community and they knew that \u201cmakes hearing the news of UArts\u2019 abrupt closure even worse.\u201d<\/p>\n
The University of the Arts was created from two century-old institutions, the Philadelphia College of Art \u2014 established n 1876 as part of the Philadelphia Museum of Art \u2014 and the Philadelphia College of the Performing Arts, which both changed names before eventually merging in 1985 and becoming a university two years later.The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that the university employs just under 700 faculty and staff who will ultimately be out of work. Walk told the newspaper the school opened in the fall with 1,149 students, down from 2,038 in 2013.Earlier this year, the university\u2019s faculty and administration reached a tentative agreement on the first contract in the school\u2019s history after more than three years of negotiation. In January, another arts school, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, announced elimination of its bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s of fine arts programs.<\/p>\n
