The University of the Arts students, staff and faculty members are still in the dark about next steps though the school will officially close Friday.

With a megaphone, signs, and sidewalk art, students of the University of the Arts hoped to capture the attention of car and foot traffic along Broad Street on Thursday, to keep the university top of mind amid its official closing Friday."It’s the only art school on the Avenue of the Arts and I think it’s really important that it stays here," said Mars O’Neill, a graduate student with the University of the Arts.

"To me, it has the look and feel of the Ponzi scheme cases that I handle when a Ponzi scheme unravels," he said. "It’s pretty incomprehensible to all of us how this university could close with only seven days notice."Letchzin says their goal, at a minimum, is to get the plaintiffs at least 60 days pay, along with attorney’s fees."Our main interest is moving this forward as swiftly as possible," he said.
