The High Museum Hits a Low

The COO of this hoitsy toitsy outfit (Meier/Piano architecture!) has been stealing hundreds of thousands from it for years. Nobody suspected cuz you know we’re fine, finely credentialed, people here. And yet if the museum had done a bit of due diligence they’d have found a college plagiarist (“Brady Lum, … an Honor Committee chairman … in late 1988, was accused of plagiarism.” Honor Committee!), and a guy (I think it’s the same guy) who, in a 2011 UVa speech, said

I have a simple message for you today – say “yes” to more in life.  That’s really all you need to know.

Say yes to the museum’s endowment! Even if you’re making almost $400,000 a year (I know – a humiliating pittance in Lum’s world), get your fingers in that pie! Yes! I’ll take it!
