Fisk Says It Must Sell O’Keeffe Stake To Stay Open

“Fisk University could run out of money if it is unable to sell its stake in an art collection donated by Georgia O’Keeffe, a lawyer for the historically black school told a judge Tuesday. Even with new revenue from next semester’s student tuition, the school wouldn’t be able to operate beyond February.” The university has been trying to get permission to sell its stake over objections from O’Keeffe’s estate.
