I think the Foundation owes the community a complete and detailed explanation of the facts surrounding the pre-employment check, hiring and resignation/dismissal of Ms. Carolyn Doran. The community assumes that the Board operates in good faith, but that faith must be upheld by the Board through disclosure of information material to the community. And assuming that the Board believed that the community did not need to be involved in this situation, surely the interview between the Register and Mike Godwin alerted them to the fact that press coverage was inevitable in the near future. If it were me, I would have wanted to get out in front of that story.

Imho the Foundation doesn't owe anything to the community... This affair is a massive foolishness!
