Recording Academy fires its embattled president and chief executive officer Deborah Dugan.
The letter sent by the board on Monday stated that ultimately, Dugan was fired due to"consistent management deficiencies and failures, and other factors."
“It was not one thing that led to this action, but rather the large number of incidents that demonstrated poor judgment, both before and after Ms. Dugan went on administrative leave," added Christine Albert, chair emeritus of the National Board of Trustees, in a statement."There was just no way she could continue to serve this organization.”
Dugan, who last year became the first female president and CEO in the history of the Recording Academy, was placed on leave just 10 days before the Grammys"in light of concerns raised to the Recording Academy Board of Trustees, including a formal allegation of misconduct by a senior female member of the Recording Academy team," according to a statement from the Academy at the time.
."The statements they're giving about Ms. Dugan creating a toxic work environment, getting the executive board members to make statements -- they are in panic mode right now."
