Boys' club?
"This is not what we wanted or what we expected when we hired M. Dugan last year." The letter did not specify what Dugan's alleged behaviour entailed, beyond a sole accusation of bullying that was disclosed at the time of her suspension. Nor did it respond to many of her allegations, which included a sexual harassment claim and an accusation about voting irregularities. The industry body has previously questioned why Dugan did not raise these "grave allegations" until she was accused of bullying herself. In 2018, the organisation created a task force in response to a major backlash that the Grammys are consistently too male and too white. Dugan was hired in August 2019 to help correct these problems and rejuvenate the institution. But she claims she met resistance from the start, characterising the organisation as a "boys' club network where men work together to the disadvantage of women and disenfranchised groups in order to line their own pockets and maintain a firm grip on the Academy's dealings". The academy will begin searching for a new chief executive in the coming days, and said the process would begin by looking "carefully to see where the last one led us astray."DISCLAIMER: The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.
