Brandeis University (my alma mater), like many colleges and universities, has been facing some economic problems, with more on the horizon. Negative PR swirled around when the administration discussed closing the Rose Art Museum and selling off the artworks. Last week, Brandeis President Jehuda Reinharz sent an FAQ to alumni to reassure them that things are not as bad as they seem, but of course there’s still an uncertain future. He closed the letter with a very positive message, complimenting everyone and holding out great hopes for the future:
“With the guidance of our dedicated faculty, skilled Board of Trustees, committed senior administration, and devoted alumni and friends, the University will come out of this challenging period as a stronger institution.”
