I would take this opportunity to put a message to them that this has nothing to do with them. This is a political crisis and a management crisis.
On the management crisis, the good news is that it's over. The foundation is already building up again and about to announce the next cohort of scholars. These people have to continue with their amazing work and why they were chosen to do this work, which has nothing to do with what we're discussing today. It has been a painful distraction to them.
That's probably the main reason that I've come here. It's not about what the foundation does. The foundation is about supporting leaders in academic research.
