Brandeis updates

NEJAR has the sharpest Brandeis post, pointing out that the chairman of the school's board of trustees is a former Zayre exec who's a - wait for it - liquidation specialist. There's also a funny post suggesting what painting Brandeis should dump first. ... The Daily Beast, meanwhile, has a piece in which the COO of Brandeis suggests the school's financial problems are much worse than previously reported. ... In the Globe today, or Geoff's blog: The student protest over Brandeis' plan to close the Rose museum and sell off its art collection, and the related faculty senate move. But the really scary story for arts advocates everywhere ought to be the front-pager on the Shapiro foundation and what Bernie Madoff has single-handedly done to charity funding throughout the community.
