As hundreds of universities across the US are forced to shift classes online and as arts studio programmes and workshops are compromised due to the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, students are mobilising to demand the full or partial reimbursement of their tuition. Few efforts, however, have yielded positive results, to the financial devastation of many students. — The Art Newspaper
According to The Art Newspaper, a letter containing the signatures of more than 80% percent of Boston University MFA students was "rebuked by school representatives last month." The school says that it believes its Zoom meetings are commensurate with a "studio education." Additionally, students at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), Yale University's School of Art, RISD, and the New York University Tisch School of the Arts are all arguing for partial refunds for tuition, The Art Newspaper reports.
