Could be a typo from you Jeff-- from the Tweet: "He is fired for not performing the duties in his contract." That's cause, I think. Maybe some morals clause that's in there. Would make a massive difference in likely not being able to collect unemployment based on 177k a year. Edited April 19, 2018 by BigW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigW Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Excerpt from another clarification tweet from Farris: "Chicago law firm Franczek Radelet is answering the YEA Hotline listening and investigating misconduct claims. If you have something to share call 312–786-6540. " This answered another question in the back of my mind in who was answering the calls. By the way, I listened to both Drunk Corps Internaitonal pocasts, the most recent... where they're so angry and disgusted by all of this that they're sober and non-cussing... is brilliant.

mfrontz Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Not to nitpick, and I certainly am not defending Hopkins, but... The previous board accepted his resignation. Can the current board undo the action of the previous board and fire him for cause instead? Seems weird to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their initial response only states that he had resigned. It makes no mention of whether or not it had been accepted. It's definitely a lawyer question for sure.
