We mentioned last week that Fisk University in Nashville, in trying to alleviate financial woes, is attempting to use its Stieglitz Collection in revenue-generating ventures.
In response, Fisk alumni and students are planning an on-campus vigil this evening to protest any removal of the Collection from university grounds. Meanwhile, the University is protesting a proposal by Tennessee Attorney General Bob Cooper to move the Collection off campus but have it remain in Nashville.
UPDATE (9/15/2010): Judge rejects Cooper’s proposal
