High Profile Arts School Goes Under

Read this article from the New York Times.

If this school produced artists who "have appeared on Broadway and in feature films" and is so high profile, why could no one afford to save it?  It was, obviously, mismanaged, but why don't schools that are in danger like this reach out to artists they've produced and celebrity connections (assuming that they have some, this is a very high profile school. . .) to be "saved?"  Or did it deserve to go under because of its mismanagement?
