In my personal opinion and recollection, two of the points raised above are on-target:
1) Several staff, including myself, explicitly sought out Board members whom they did not view as a directly loyal conduit to Lila, precisely because they feared retribution from them/her.
2) The whistleblower policy was indeed insufficient because even very serious ethical complaints raised did not rise to the level of strict illegality.
We can do better.
