On 31 August 2020, the university's management resigned in protest at the imposition of a government-appointed board of trustees which they saw as limiting the university's autonomous status.[3] A group of students took over the school building in protest and barricaded themselves inside.[4] Several artists signed an open letter in defense of the autonomy of the school.[5]
