===============================================
Actually, if the closed session included a discussion of the applicants,
and information provided on their applications, the Board did need to
have a closed session. Privacy laws protect information submitted
on an application from being released publicly without the person's
consent.
I'm not sure that there isn't a violation of those laws by one or more
board members giving out Susan's request to continue showing.
It really isn't unusual for an application for a job or contract to request
having a requirement waived - so I don't see anything wrong if that
happened. However, the fact that the request has been made public,
and has probably caused her a lot of stress from the results of that
disclosure, is something the Board should be very concerned about!
Same thing for any letter Gail may have submitted to the Board
regarding the next Editor. As a private correspondence, it probably
should have been kept confidential.
Any member of the board who passed this information to those
who posted it on the list, should have used better judgement on
who they confided in!
