Parents are concerned about tuition refunds after Donda Academy issued out an email, letting them know that “effective immediately” the school will be closed!
The email reads, “Dear Donda Academy Families- we hope this email finds you well. First we would like to express our gratitude for the community of families and scholars that Donda Academy brought together. However , at the direction of our Founder, Donda Academy will close for the remainder of the 2022-2023 school year effective immediately. Thursday, October 27th. THERE IS NO SCHOOL TOMORROW.”
“Our leadership team will be working diligently to assist all families during this transition, ensuring that every scholar has what they need to succeed in their next community in a prompt and gracious manner.”Â
“We intend to begin afresh in September of 2023, and we are confident that our scholars will continue to advance as the creative innovators, courages influencers and academic leaders of the next generation. Thank you for your support.”Â
Now it’s not clear exactly why the school has closed for the remainder of the year, but this email follows after the backlash that the founder, Kanye West received following  his recent anti-Semitic comments on the Jewish community. Ye has been let go by a lot of companies who are wiping their hands clean with the rapper.
As we previously reported, these are the current and growing list of brands and relationships that have severed ties with Ye: JP Morgan & Chase Bank; Balenciaga; GAP; Adidas; Footlocker; TheRealReal; TJ Maxx; Vogue & Anna Wintour; CAA; MRC; Camille Vasquez; and reportedly Def Jam.
It has been an extremely long week for Kanye West, but #Socialites do you think he will eventually bounce back from this?
