Brandeis University decides to close Art Museum

Brandeis University's board of trustees recently voted unanimously to close and sell the collection of the Rose Art Museum sighting growing budget problems and the current economic crisis. 

What do you think about this decision, and how might it influence other donors, patrons, colleges, and universities? What do you think about any potential violations of past legal agreements involving art and monetary donations to their art museum? Should any tax penalties be levied for art sales?
