What corruption are we talking about in the TMO? "sparaig"

Doug writing:

For both sets of folks, right on the tips their tongues: money 
corruptions and the corruption of spiritual arrogance.  Equally.

These folks were enumerating and I was just listening and didn't 
have to say anything.  People are not living in a vacuum and it is 
like the TMO is just plain its own worst PR now with anything they 
try to do to move forward without first reconciling these 
outstanding things even just with its own meditators, 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/77926
.  There evidently are some really bad people up there on campus.  

Who would want to be involved with them?  These old meditators and 
old TM teachers returning as recent arrivals seem not to becoming 
here to the TMO.  One of these couples started TM back in the 60's. 
One of these people was initiated back then by Jerry Jarvis.  They 
pretty clearly were not coming because of the TMO but rather because 
of the meditating community here.  Fairfield obviously has become 
something else beyond the TM thing as a spiritual place.
