Rose Art Museum

<p>

…It damages the reputation and the credibility of Brandeis as a serious, top tier liberal art university.

</p>

<p>

Does losing the art museum diminish Brandeis’ stature? It might. Would hacking another $4,000,000 - $10,000,000 out of the staff do far more damage to the school and its reputation than losing the museum? It certainly would…

</p>

<p>Well said. The arguement that Brandeis would continue to attract the same quality of students if they slashed staff, professors and financial aid while keeping the Rose collection is insupportable.</p>

<p>

this is simply the wrong decision for Brandeis to make because it sends a message devaluing the place of art on the Brandeis campus, it disrespects the legacies of those who made donations as well as those whose art has been accessioned by the Rose.

</p>

<p>Or it sends the message of putting a high value on the place of people, be they employees or students. As painful as it is, no organization should put appeasing donors above the health of the instituion and its future.</p>
