A staff member or administrator's bad actions with a corps should never be allowed to be hushed up by a signed agreement - period.

BigW Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Interesting. The thing is... from my knowledge of the use of NDA's for these purposes, they usually involve massive amounts of money in a settlement. Basically, hush money, and a metric ton of it. What corps has that kind of money? I know they have 'money', but enough to create a settlement like that without breaking the budget or becoming noticed in terms of outgoing expenses unless insurance was used for the payoff?

Once again founding fathers, you blew it with no term limitations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there are folks who believe that there are far more cases of sexual misconduct in drum corps than have been reported, and I tend to agree, but i’m not sure I think non-disclosure agreements are why people are not coming forward. As BigW points out, these are costly and most corps would not have that kind of money, and with very few exceptions, I don’t think there are too many folks the corps believe are important enough to protect with non-disclosure agreements. The only one I can think of who had a board who just rubber stamped his ideas is now gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe NDAs have been used in some schools to hide illegal actions between teachers/staff and students. That way the teacher leaves but no way for other schools to know about the problem. Would affect corps as if they run the standard checks nothing would show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what planet you are on ------ seems that a NDA should not cover for a pervs and pedophiles is appropriate for DCI considering the revelations about the candy slinging fool and others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
