Did Brown miss a major opportunity when it sold the Old Stone Bank?

I think the Brown Administrators were wise to sell the building. Earlier this month, It's utility as an anthropology museum had been nulified by the recent vote of Brown's faculty and students to discredit and disregard the courage and tenacity of Christopher Columbus. This decision was based upon the fact that Columbus did not treat natives he encountered with the same respect that a Brown student would approve today. No serious person can doubt that the same electorate would eventually vote to demand that Brown return all it's anthroupological artifacts to the titular heads of Connecticut's gambling casinos. So Brown speedily unloaded this building at a significant profit rather than suffer the slings and arrows of it's current clients, who would have forced the university to deaccession the building's contents.
