Release the report that the chairman of the board fired the CEO without authority to do so and now the entire board is in turmoil due to her actions….
We all have heard it from multiple unrelated sources at this point
Why was she fired?
JJ, making random unsupported claims on the internet hear makes you a conspiracy theorist or an agitator. Cite your “multiple unrelated sources” and what they *specfically* claim.
Also, the Board of Trustees hired Dr. Burnette, and they have full legal authority to terminate her for any reason or no reason at all, unless it specifically violates her employment contract.
If they broke her contract, she would be able to sue, and would likely do so, just to protect her reputation, if nothing else. Instead, she has steadfastly refused to comment, despite multiple attempts by local media to solicit a statement from her.
So, (1) You have ZERO proof she was fired, and (2) Dr. Burnette does not wish to discuss the reasons for her departure. Respect her wishes, and stop spreading unsupported rumors about her exit.
Chris – anyone at the IBJ could talk to the same people I know….
When the chairman fires the CEO without the boards approval it’s a cluster that causes the board to fracture and leave…. And she got a sweet severance so why would she sue? She got mega paid
They need to dump the board and start over from scratch
Jim, the fact that you deflect instead of simply naming sources when you claim “the IBJ could talk to the same people I know”—conveniently without naming them, just makes you just sound kooky.
Also, people with a legitimate claim of wrongful termination, often are reluctant to accept a severance because (1) They likely could get more if they file a lawsuit, especially if it moves to the deposition stage (and THEN accept a settlement) and (2) they do not get a chance to clear their name.
Finally, no one can “dump” the Board, as the Board selects its own members. They have final authority.
Oh Chrissy – it’s really not hard to find a single degree of separation from a group of 12 people if you do anything of value in this city.
And if I was terminated and my severance was 5x my salary I’d say cool get me outta this cluster and run as fast as I could.
Oh, Jamie, thank you for deflecting again and admitting you know *nothing* and have zero proof of what you claim. Again, name the names or pack it up.
In any case, I have had enough of your crazy. Take an internet break and enjoy very Happy Holidays!
Yes – publicly call out my friends for confidential information….
Solid advice
Who is in charge of this mess???
Why do the “journalists” keep talking about this stupidity, other than it fits the preset agenda— food deserts! Racism!! Cops suck!
“business journal” LOL.
The Board of Trustees, the legal governing body of Newfields.
Wait – does Chuck not believe in food deserts? And how one of the major issues with driving capitalism forward is not having a healthy and fed working class?
Someone might be a socialist in disguise here Chuck…
When will the drama from our local “Amusement Park” end?
Patience. The facts will eventually emerge.
Do most art organizations have a board with enough people that they could play 11 on 11 football with a few subs?
I wish IBJ would get rid of the comments section.
Chris, I get that JJF statement without official sources can’t be confirmed, but I also get no one is going to name their source and you should understand that too. So without trying to shame anyone, his comments seem to likely mostly accurate as Indy is a small town in many ways and many of the players are known who resigned, and this situation is pretty much a public cluster at this point.
Without trying to be holier than thou or trashing Newfields, etc., but it is very possible (& likely) that strong personalities and also less than fully transparent board operations led to a personnel move that now looks to not have followed HR best practices, and no organization likes or wants to fully expose all of their challenges publicly, even if they are a high profile local institution. People may be trying to save face which is also a natural instinct for those trying to clean things up. It’s still a great museum and pretty sure this will get resolved, life will move on Indy can go back to normal soon.
