Season 10 Ep. 48: On A Quick Note: I cannot believe that the 150-year old University of the Arts in Philadelphia is closed. Here am I referring a young mentee to the college and when I checked, it’s closed.
Such a staple university focusing on the arts closed abruptly in June 2024 and filed bankruptcy in September 2024. The university closed because its leaders lacked the vision and the passion that would create innovative strategies to sustain the school.
First of all no one knows about the school, that’s why they suffered from low enrollment, and they were not profitable because they lack the Innovation to create new programs by working with the local niche communities and businesses in Northern liberties Philadelphia that were becoming the fashion and arts capital of the Eastcoast; with young professional New Yorkers moving to Old City and Northern Liberties.
Now The Eagles are are dominant team and the Sixers are contemplating building a huge new stadium in Center city. The university could’ve taken advantage of these opportunities. Their prowess in the arts would have been ideal in helping to:
1. develop the area utilizing the school’s artists and professors and
2. developing programs with the city and the stadium developers that serve to develop artists and designers who’d contribute to the stadium and the transformation of the city into the 21st century.
Re-open the school @PhiladelphiaGov
And return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the US. We can't pay El Salvador 6 million dollars to hold him for us then say due to international policies we cannot interfere in El Salvador and if they want to release they should. We are paying them for God sake!
