Court documents are expected to be filed in Porter County on Monday against Valparaiso University and its president, Jose Padilla, in an attempt to stop the sale of artwork from the university’s Brauer Museum of Art in violation of the trust that provided it to raise funds for the renovation of dorms for first-year students.
Dick Brauer is threatening to remove his name from the museum at Valparaiso University after finding out that the university’s board of directors voted to sell Georgia O’Keeffe’s “Rust Red Hills” to fund improvements at dorms for first-year students.
