Robert Primus:
Well, I mean, as I still consider myself a board member, so I can’t comment on the merger.
But what I what I think, it does it challenges the integrity of the board. Again, that is why I’m fighting back. That’s why I’m really disappointed in their actions, because now it calls into question the integrity of the board. The board is an independent board, not just independent of the administration, but it’s independent of outside thinking, political thinking.
All of us, I think, are — that were on the board are independent thinkers. I pride myself that, when I came to the board, that, even though I came as a Democrat, I was simply a board member. And I think now, with what has happened to me and how they are approaching the board now, I think it threatens that independence, that impartiality.
And, ultimately, some of the decisions people will now question whether or not they’re politically motivated or if they’re actually being decided impartially.
