I can understand the OP’s concerns, given the prior media coverage of Brandeis’ financial challenges, particularly the dissension over the fate of the Rose museum. However, the more I read up on Brandeis, I’m hopeful that the administration can constructively work through this setback. As a parent of HS junior who’s planning to apply to Brandeis this fall, this thread has been reassuring.



That’s why, for example, they wanted the flexibility to sell some art from the Rose Museum if necessary to prevent draconian cuts in the academic arena. But rather than portraying these measures as prudent precautions, the media choose to to portray them either as panic mode or anti-art. They were neither.



Agreed.
