A couple of days ago, I received a message from a friend who now lives in Texas. She was urging me to check out the EEOC complaint filed by Deborah Dugan, the former CEO and president of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, which we know primarily for its control of the Grammy Awards.
I don’t know if you’ve been paying attention to the blow up of the Grammy BoD, but the EEOC complaint just got posted out to DocumentCloud and it’s a doozy.
A downloaded a copy and did a quick read. Yes, it is a doozy.
It you’re at all interested in the music industry, or in the inside dynamics of corporate America, you really need to check this out.
You can get a good sense of what’s in the complaint from the week’s news reports. Or you can dive right in to the complaint itself using the link at the stop of this post.
