Frenzel’s family’s name has been associated with Indianapolis banking and commerce for six decades or more. A very respected businessperson. If he’s walking away….it’s bad.
A well respected trust fund person…. Let’s not give credence to the son for the success of the father
“I do not know” “Made up statistics” “Just play the sports, dont give your opinions”
This is a comically bad take….
Ohi for the love of God Frankie…I know the Frenzels…very, very smart and respectable family. Move on.
Then get a public response on why they quit?
This is such a PR disaster. Stonewalling of information only leads to rumors, speculation and bad feelings. I am sorry the staff has to endure this. The board needs to step up and provide the public with some resonable explanation. Do your job!
Especially since the local medias shove it in our faces all day and night!
Kevin, only you can “shove it in your face all day and night” – it’s the media’s obligation to report on news of local importance.
Might not be legal. Employment issues are confidential and in this case personal issues w Dr Burnette might also be in play.
In short, while we all would like to know, it’s not really any if our business.
Sad stuff for sure…and regrettable that the over stating and assumptions that the organization’s Board did anything other than something appropriate and relative to their governing responsibility is disappointing.
Take a moment, public…yes, there have been problems at Newfields…this action may be related and might not.
In any case, not a positive moment for anyone who cares about Indianapolis.
The email from Mr. Hirschberg is rather silly. I have served on a few nonprofit boards in the past, and I currently serve on one now. The Board of Directors (or Trustees as in the case of Newfields) is the legal governing body of a nonprofit organization and it has the *final say* on all matters, except in the rare circumstance where a nonprofit organization has voting members/shareholders (similar to shareholders in a for-profit corporation) who elect Board members and vote on certain specific major issues, such as the dissolution of the organization. Newfields does not have any separate shareholders (you can verify this by reviewing its publicly available tax return filed with the IRS, Form 990).. So, no one would have “forced” a direction on the Board. I assume what Mr. Hirschberg means is he was displeased with some action taken by his fellow Board members–so drop the passive aggressive language and simply say you disagree with the decision of your fellow Board members.
Yep!
Several comments are accurate such as the legal and private concerns surrounding these events. The board may be constrained.
That said, this is a very serious community matter that could easily become much larger. Just as the IMA/Newfields was beginning to overcome the serious issues presented a couple of years ago, perception by many has begun to burn that bridge. Right or wrong. This is a classic case of the need for a good crisis public relations firm to be engaged and deployed quickly. A narrative, within whatever constraints there are, needs to be provided soon.
Those of us who love the museum hope that it can correctly deal with this so that it can get back to the main task of art.
This story is tired.
Third board member resigned per Indianapolis Recorder
“Newfields has offered no explanation for Burnette’s exit”
This may be odd, but perhaps ask Burnette? If she signed a non-disclosure, that was her choice and something she agreed to. So any speculation or whatnot is moot if she agreed to the separation terms. Otherwise, she can share why she left and shout it to the rooftop.
