WE ARE ALL NOT BRANDEIS STUDENTS

What do you do when your alma mater sells off its entire art museum to private interests? Start a facebook group.

Brandeis recently announced the sale of its Rose Art Museum, much to the surprise of the Museum’s director and entire staff, who received the notice an hour before the school went public with the announcement. It seems that many of the University’s prime donors got Madoff’d, you see. Here’s director Michael Rush’s response.

The New York Times also had the Museum’s back.

Brandeis President and D’bag Jehuda Reinharz issued a public apology and, according to the Boston.com Exhibitionist blog, the Museum “as it exists today will eventually cease to operate and instead will be turned into an educational center for Brandeis students and faculty.” Sounds like some vague public private public partnership and partnering language to us!
