To add a wrinkle to this, has anyone experienced an ED who uses this method to remove employees. I've been wondering about the legality of doing this.

I have recently founded the Institute of Museum Ethics at Seton Hall University and many museum professionals have shared stories with me about such conflicts with museum boards. What I'm wondering is what educationl/training you have found most useful for museum boards or what could be be useful. I know there are some great board members out there. How might these insightful board members help create "buy in?"Janet MarstineAssistant Professor, MA Program, Museum ProfessionsDirector, Institute of Museum EthicsSeton Hall University400 S.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Elimination of an Executive Director
Here is a link to a story in the Portland Tribune about a museum that eliminated the Executive Director position, temporarily. All of us who have worked in museums have seen board members and EDs have differences (I know I did), but I have seldom seen it written up in a local news story. Anyway, here is the linek. As a side note, I do not know anyone involved, and have never been to the museum. I just thought it an interesting bit to share.http://www.portlandtribune.com/metro_news/story.php?story_id=121141750813006600
