Well..the answer is if it was a Board decision to
suspend John then I guess we would have all known
about it from the meeting held by our community
representatives on the UCD Board.
Let's see: you're running an organization, Sharrieff, and one day you read
in the paper that someone has accused one of your employees, a very popular
one, of doing something improper. You have no advance notice; everybody else
who reads the paper finds out at the same time you do, and they all start
calling and second guessing and making conflicting demands. So you ask the
employee, hey, what happened?, and you don't get any answer. Instead, his powerful
friends start badmouthing YOU!
What do you do?
(but wait, are you saying that's how it actually happened?
according to ucd? how do we know? is it the full story? for
example, has wendell asked the other ucd employees who were
also involved with the malcolm x park incident? how would we
know? because ucd would tell us or because you would tell
us? etc. etc.)
yes, the situation is difficult, but wendell is ultimately
responsible. ucd's existence as a non-profit, its
credibility, its relationship with the community, with
blackwell, with penn, the justification for a nid -- these
and more are all at stake. responsible leadership is
crucial. what, indeed, do you do?
for example, was releasing a 2nd press release about fenton
in the form of a quotation he knew/didn't know would be
publicized in tony's article the best way for wendell to
behave responsibly? to use your words: "let's see... you
work at an organization, and one day you read in the paper
that someone, your employer, has accused you of doing
something improper..."
I think what sharreiff was getting at, above, is that there
are ways for an organization to behave responsibly,
publicly, as an organization, and when it doesn't, the
person in charge is most responsible, ultimately responsible.
