When the Board came out of closed session, a motion was made to approve the new editor and that motion carried. To my knowledge, the credentials and/or names of the candidates were not discussed in any manner prior to the Board going into closed session. A motion was made, and passed, to approve the new editor immediately Becky I completely applaud you for your coming forward in this...but let me if I may clarify, why there was a closed session (the vote was not) let us imagine if we will the discussion of the former Review editor, loved, respected and terribly ill. Imagine discussion of her personally, and why the need for a closed session. As per by law a closed session in, and of itself is (paraphrasing) for discussing individuals by name and / or items of a particularly sensitive nature. I am guessing that the Board being made up of Humane people chose to have the discussion of the Editor position, which no doubt involved discussion of our dear, but very ill former editor....and to do so in CLOSED session. Do you not think that was the respectful and humane move? or would it have been better to discuss an individuals illness and problems in PUBLIC forum?
