Really Bad News for Brandeis and the Rose

Really bad news today for Brandeis University and the Rose Art Museum, according to the Boston Globe (H/T Wolinsky). I'm not much of an art person, but some of the stuff they had there was amazing (although many of the better things was kept in storage). Now they're selling off their art. The fact they're going to have to do this has a lot to do with losing donor money due to the Madoff Scandal (as pointed out by the LA Times). Also some news on the different cuts and restructurings Brandeis has announced it will have to make due to the financial crisis. Sad times indeed for my alma mater.
