Getting his Ass Out of There Pronto LA Times: USC President Steven B. Sample has resigned his relatively new seat on the board of the J. Paul Getty Trust, citing conflicting duties. ********** Morning Edition has background and an update, available a little later today, here. It’s basically another Benjamin Ladner story -- wild, wild looting of a non-profit’s money because of a board of trustees full of corporate types who wouldn’t see the behavior as a problem even if they were looking -- only this story involves much, much more money than the American University one. And why does UD care? Because the Getty is an important research institution on which professors and universities depend. |
