tumblebunny, Brandeis isn’t going anywhere. The endowment is still a robust 575 million. they are breaking ground on a new humanities complex and completing a new admissions center to add to the to the new residence hall and $154 million science complex. The reason why Brandeis’ financial troubles are so public is because of the decision to close the Rose, which garnered a lot of attention, to say the least. Except for the small minority of individuals more loyal to very modern art than to Brandeis, a lot of students and staff support the decision to better integrate the Rose with the Brandeis campus. (I use the word integrate because it’s clear the vast majority of pieces will not be sold and the space will still support the fine arts in some way.) May I ask what your D is considering majoring in? I don’t think any whole academic department will be cut but if it’s a very popular and large program than your really shouldn’t have any reason to worry at all. Come to admitted students day next week. I don’t want to sound corny, but I guarantee you will see what makes Brandeis special.
