Peter, is more information available...the article doesn’t say much. From a political/cultural and/or academic point of view, is this good news or bad news? Such dust-ups are pretty common, but does this one have any greater significance?

Edward: I put it out in part to remind me to look into it, and I will. I am interested in the phenomenon of who is doing the pushing. Does the Board push a pres to move according to their agenda, purpose, etc., or vica versa. It may be a small point, but it is relatively rare when such a disagreement about purpose (although I note that the article implies it is over means rather than ends) becomes public.
