Rose Family Condemns Brandeis’ Plans For Museum

“In a public protest meant to put pressure on Brandeis University officials, fifty members of the Rose family today demanded the continued operation of the museum that bears their name and denounced plans to sell the art to pay its bills. The Rose family, whose $1 million gift enabled the construction of the building that opened in 1961, dismissed recent statements by Brandeis president Jehuda Reinharz that the Rose would remain open for academic purposes, although not as a public museum.”
