Longtime museum patrons – namesake Meryl Rose, Jonathan Lee and Lois Foster — have sued Brandeis University in an effort to prevent the university administration from selling the collection and closing the museum. The Boston Globe reports here.

I visited the Rose Art Museum last week, and interviewed the interim director and wrote about what I found in the days prior to the lawsuit. Read suit here.
