摘要：

As embedded institutions under the governing authority of a university administration and board of trustees, academic museums face a heightened risk that their collections might be "monetized" during times of fiscal crisis. Recent debates about deaccessioning have obfuscated the issues, thus exacerbating the vulnerability of collections. This essay articulates the basic case against monetization in pragmatic terms to assist museum professionals in explaining the ethics that protect their collections for future generations.
