Union members handed out leaflets in board chair Judson Aaron's neighborhood, targeting him for failing to schedule federally mandated negotiations with faculty and staff over closure terms.
Union members handed out leaflets in board chair Judson Aaron's neighborhood, targeting him for failing to schedule federally mandated negotiations with faculty and staff over closure terms.
“The University of the Arts has provided little public information related to its financial collapse and imminent closure and subsequent loss of accreditation from the Middle States Council on Higher Education,” union leaders wrote in the letter,.
To that end, union members showed up outside board chair Judson Aaron’s home in the city’s Queen Village section Wednesday to demand answers and hand out leaflets to neighbors. Each of the lawsuits — including the latest, which was filed Wednesday in federal court by two former University of the Arts students — seeks class-action designation, which would allow the lawyers involved to lead the legal fight on behalf of all of University of the Arts’ former students and employees.
