That’s No Way To Balance A Budget

“The Museum of North Arizona has elected a new board of trustees and named an acting director after revelations that the former director and trustees had sold 21 weavings and paintings from the permanent collection to help pay for the institution’s operating expenses caused an uproar among museum members.” Worse, the sale of the objects netted the museum far less than what the objects were actually worth, according to a museum donor who spearheaded the protest against the board’s actions. The new acting director of the museum is Max Oelschlaeger, who says that his top two priorities will be to shore up the museum’s finances, and find a permanent director.
