UArts Class of 1990 - Michelle, Dance

The value of an arts degree from University of the Arts. Michelle Jones Wurtz, director/owner at the Pottstown Dance Theatre, graduated from UArts in 1990 with a degree in dance.

Save UArts. University of the Arts was abruptly shut down by their board of trustees overnight...then forced to give at least a week for staff and students by the Middle States Commission.

UArts is almost 150 year olds and founded modern day Broad Street, Philadelphia's downtown "spine", as real estate developers like to phrase it while discussing a potential fire sale of UArts real estate.

Students were billed as recently as two days before the closing with that tuition still in limbo and the board of trustees and lawyers claim they don't have enough to pay salary owed to staff on top of tuition in limbo as students are told to transfer somewhere else.

Help get city, state, and federal support to save UArts and investigate potential criminal neglect if not sabotage.
