The University of the Arts (UArts) abruptly closed its doors in June, leaving faculty, staff, and students in turmoil. A lawyer representing the shuttered university informed a judge that details, including the university's financial status and the timeline for settling final payrolls, were unavailable. Workers affected by last month’s sudden closure are legally pursuing their final paychecks. Faculty and staff appeared in court for a hearing regarding a class action lawsuit filed by the UArts Employee Union over violations of the federal WARN Act. Additionally, UArts faces accusations of unfair labor practices from faculty members who claim they have not been paid.
