Where is it written that the interim automatically becomes the president? Why did they make her interim?
The new director essentially lied to his previous employer for almost two years (it’s not like Hattiesburg, MS is a suburb of New Orleans, it’s over 100 miles away). When the local tv station raised questions about his residency, he resigned the same day.
While serving in New Orleans, he was accused by a member of the library board of spreading misinformation about a plan the Mayor came up with that, according to a local tv station, would have cut the library budget by 40% Morley initially opposed the plan, saying library services would have to be cut. Later he joined officials from the Mayor’s office at a press conference and said that creative budgeting and efficiencies would allow the library to maintain services. (The public voted down the plan 57%-43%.)
Before heading the New Orleans system (15 locations,) he spent three years heading the Atlanta/Fulton County GA system (33 locations, more than twice the number of staff). He resigned that position to go to the New Orleans job. The Atlanta Journal Constitution article reporting on his resignation says Morley “did not respond to an email seeking comment about his move.” This does not seem like a normal career move–one has to wonder if there were underlying reasons.
Overall, not the type of person I would hire.

Nice welcome for Morley. “Our responsibility is to choose the best candidate and our goal was to recruit a diverse pool of candidates from which to choose,” Tribble told IBJ. “We did that and we came down to these two, and we chose the person we thought was best at this time.”— which is the way it should be. All these angry, screeching black women are only concerned that the hired candidate is a black woman. How is THAT not racism?
You read the whole article and boiled it down to the angry black woman trope? Get out of here.
And thank you to Ms Tribble. And shame on Sen Breaux.
What’s indicative of “continued racism” is the FACT that the Board voted for whom they thought was the best candidate according to their rules and procedures.. Here we have the latest example of people who didn’t get their way playing the racism card for all who care to listen. Look around, it’s happening more and more frequently, and not just in Indianapolis. For those on the side who want to scream racism for those decisions which didn’t go your way, it might be better to use the racism charge for when it is appropriate to do so. Continually using it for every decision only DILUTES the message when real racism occurs (think of the fable by Aesop of the Boy Who Cried Wolf).
Aman!
Amen! Ha!
This white guy doesn’t stand a chance going into the toxic, hyperracialized environment created by the CICF-backed firing of the previous CEO, a highly competent public servant who was smeared and then run out based on her identity alone. This is what “Let’s have a conversation about race” leads to, in actual practice. Thanks, CICF! Your new it’s-all-about-race campaign is going swimmingly.
And … he’s gone! What a surprise. The library board and CICF have executed a near-perfect self-own.
