The Christian Science Monitor
weighs in today on the Fisk-O'Keeffe dispute. It reports that "Tennessee Attorney General Robert Cooper Jr. is expected to file an opinion this week on the proposed sale." The story does a good job of describing the "temptation ... financially strapped small colleges [face] to liquidate treasures for short-term cash relief," but I think it buys a little too much into the notion that the proposed settlement is "not quite a sale" since the deal "would allow [Fisk] to display 'Radiator Building' for part of each year" (as noted
here, it's actually four months out of every
four years).
