Grateful to my colleagues in the House, esp. Rep. Ben Waxman, Jordan A. Harris, and REP. RYAN BIZZARRO, for their work in organizing this hearing on the closure of #UArts to give space to the voices and experiences of the students and workers.

Unacceptable. #UArts needs to make good on its obligations to the faculty and staff who made it great. This is more than just a moral obligation—this is a legal obligation. I stand with United Academics of Philadelphia. inquirer.com/education/uart…


We just sent our petition to PA Attorney General Dave Sunday w/ over TWO THOUSAND of your signatures! We need a full investigation into the catastrophic closure of UniversityoftheArts. Thank you Senator Nikil Saval & Rep. Ben Waxman for your support to bring justice to the UArts community & all of Philadelphia.

We're live at UArts with United Academics of Philadelphia and former UArts students to announce new oversight measures for institutions of higher education across the Commonwealth. pasenatorsaval.com/live/



When UniversityoftheArts closed, students and staff were left with no answers, no plans, and no accountability. I’m proud to have worked with colleagues to lay the groundwork for new regulations that will protect Pennsylvania colleges and universities and the communities that depend on them.

We’re with the UArts community in seeking accountability, and we hope to prevent others from experiencing these hardships. inquirer.com/education/univ…
