The University of the Arts, an institution with roots more than a century and a half old in Philadelphia, has abruptly announced it will close in a week, citing declining enrollment and revenues as well as increasing expenses.
University president Kerry Walk and the chair of the board of trustees, Judson Aaron, announced the June 7 closure in a notice posted Friday night on the university’s website, calling it "heartbreaking" and "deeply painful." Separate town halls are planned Monday with students, faculty and staff, they said.

School officials said that action came before they could announce the closure to the university community and they knew that "makes hearing the news of UArts’ abrupt closure even worse.
