47. Seriously doubt any of the current students signed up to get a BFA in fig leafing.

I’d say any student that wants a refund should get one - no questions asked. Is staggering religious discrimination, and are out to takedown a school that’s been around since 1885.

Apparently, this isn’t the only art school belmont has ‘absorbed’ in recent years. If O’More (taken in 2018) and Watkins were struggling so, why wouldn’t they have merged instead?
