I cannot really express the upset I've heard from many fellow Alumni about this quick decision to not only close the Rose Art Museum, but to sell off the entire collection. The Brandeis "Justice" has some more information about exactly what happened.
I understand the need to make some changes in tough economic times. But unlike faculty cuts or the closing the pool, once you sell this artwork, it's gone. And we're in such a down economy, you will be selling those pieces of art for, if you're lucky, 50 cents on the dollar. Really a shame. Will get some more reactions and hopefully post them here. Feel free to post comments below.
And after the great start the women's basketball team had gotten off to, it seems to have gone sour, judging by this passage in the Justice after a recent loss against Emory University:
Coach Carol Simon could not be reached for comment by press time, and guard Jessica Chapin '10, the Judges' leading scorer, who missed nine of her 11 field goal attempts against Emory, declined to comment on the game.
Come on Brandeis, get your act together!
