The city council called this person a racist… but they were the ones who appointed them?
This is quickly turning into a goat rodeo
These library board members must be getting a lot of free books to put up with this nonsense.
What happened to a “Meritocracy?” Is Nichelle Hayes as qualified as Gabriel Morely? Is a person’s skin color now the preeminent qualification for employment now? To then intimate racism is somewhat Hypocritical. While promoting within an organization works, many organizations hire from outside to promote less insulated thinking.
What’s the point of an independent board when “the community” wants strong arm politics to carry the day? Also, the number of people that care about this that get labeled as representative of the community is very small in the grand scheme of things – it’s just a group with a very strong sense of racial entitlement, likely a harbinger of what future Indy politics will look like unfortunately. Every other city that has gone down this path before us has kicked off a decline in the middle and upper middle class as people vote with their feet.

Great point about the racial politics being rediculious.
Go to the City of Indianapolis jobs website sometime. There’s more crap about
equal opportunity employment and inclusion than there is information about
a posted job. I mean it is really overboard with the politically correct nonsense.
What a cluster! Restart the hiring process and include Nichelle Hayes anyone else who wants to be considered. May the best person win. *eyeroll*
Hope Tribble, President of the Library Board, is highly qualified. I’ve known her for years. She is Black. Her letter to the Council is spot on. The person the Board is seeking now is not the permanent CEO. Rather, a majority of Trustees have announced their intention to a qualified and neutral interim administrative caretaker for the Library drawn from outside the Library’s
ranks. Like an interim minister, the interim director is there to listen and prepare the library for change. Those are special skills. If the goal is identifying the problems and coming up with solutions that work for all, it seems that a neutral interim administrator makes sense.
