Abstract
In 2009 Brandeis University was coping with a budget deficit brought on by the global financial crisis, prompting its president and board of trustees to announce the closing of the Rose Art Museum and the sale of its USD350 million collection. The news came as an unwelcome surprise to the museum's director and board of overseers, as well as to students and faculty, with many objecting to the lack of transparency in the decision-making process. In this case, students examine how various constituencies might have been involved in the decision and determine how the president's office could have used different approaches in handling the proposal.
