The School of the Art Institute of Chicago laid off 20 employees in November, including Joe Behen, dean of student wellness. His daughter Chloe's tuition-exchange scholarship to the University of Southern California is now uncertain. The tuition-exchange program connects higher education employees and their dependents with scholarships to attend participating institutions at a discount. Chloe's scholarship covers 80% of her USC tuition. The program has over 700 member institutions and benefits 7,800 students nationwide. Joe has not received a response from SAIC officials regarding Chloe's scholarship. The layoffs may affect many students' education, with at least dozens or hundreds of students facing similar uncertainty.
