What critics are saying
- Revenue depends on event attendance and tuition; weak 2027 demand cuts cash quickly.
- The French-culture niche faces competition from Institut français and other Alliance Française affiliates.
- If gala donations and French patron support soften, programming cuts hit mission credibility fast.
