wth? a "for cause" termination is a pretty big deal (in some larger organizations practically an automatic application killer), and to say it in a press statement is furthering its damaging impact. why do they think they need to do that? even if we take for granted that there's probably a lot more to this story than what's reported in the article, this leaves a bitter aftertaste. there are so many ways this could have been handled more gracefully. and the optics of doing that in the context of a critical study are poor, to say the least.
