"UArts Closure Sparks Lawsuit, Resignation, and Merger Talks"

Nine former employees of the University of the Arts have filed a class-action lawsuit against the institution, claiming it violated federal law by not providing the required 60 days' notice before announcing its sudden closure. The plaintiffs, including professors and administrators, are seeking two months' pay and benefits. The Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office is also reviewing the closure, and the university's board has acknowledged the community's distress. Temple University is exploring a potential merger to save the arts institution.
