Since its creation in 2014, the Pace School of Performing Arts (PPA) has been a leader in producing top talent, with its graduates widely represented in the film, TV, theater, and dance industries.

When the program launched within Pace’s Dyson College of Arts and Sciences nearly two decades ago, it was Manhattan’s first new performing arts school in almost half a century. Today, in keeping with its long tradition of innovation and in recognition of the rapidly evolving industry, PPA is getting its own stand-alone identity: The Sands College of Performing Arts.

There are now four lawsuits pending in New York courts. The Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University maintains an online Environmental Right Repository with the principal pleadings, decisions on motions, and eventually all judicial decisions as they arrive.
