Whatever happened is clearly 1) regrettable and 2) not something about which we&#39;ll ever know the full story. The more data we have, the better, but in any case, looking ahead is more imperative than looking back.Unknownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02392919811402092673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21165575.post-35209960710478975712013-04-24T10:48:29.011-04:002013-04-24T10:48:29.011-04:00Matt -- I think the release of the letter falls in...Matt -- I think the release of the letter falls into HR territory. Unless it had initially been addressed to the membership of the MAA as well as the board, I don&#39;t know that it can be released without the permission of all parties. I think that Unger&#39;s letter implies his permission, but IANAL. <br /><br />This whole controversy, as well as some crap I&#39;m dealing with at work, have been a reminder to me that we should all read through the organizational documents of institutions to which we belong. To members, ex-members, and potential members of the MAA, I suggest that everyone read through the constitution, by-laws, etc. It&#39;s far more effective to voice concerns and complaints if they have more backing than moral, ethical, and professional indignation. <br /><br />It&#39;s also the first step in making changes to said documents, which is usually the first step in changing organizational structures...<br /><br />(apologies for those who already know how to suck eggs, but we often forget to RTFM)anotherdamnedmedievalisthttp://anotherdamnedmedievalist.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21165575.post-79097713034820223642013-04-24T07:22:14.463-04:002013-04-24T07:22:14.463-04:00Aren&#39;t Gardner &amp; Musto the ones who need t...Aren&#39;t Gardner &amp; Musto the ones who need to release their letter?Matthew Gabrielehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14300129034304529436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21165575.post-36391952169055933382013-04-24T05:09:33.146-04:002013-04-24T05:09:33.146-04:00Might we - who are not on the list server:-) - ask...Might we - who are not on the list server:-) - ask for a published copy of the full letter of resignation.

However, I wish that they also were clear about what the vision and goals of MAA are (that Eileen and Ron were doing a good job pushing forward with), though again, as someone who has not rejoined, I don&#39;t know if they&#39;ve done this in a previous iteration. I am still wondering what their main goals and vision are for Speculum, for Communication, for Inclusion and Community amongst medievalists. Do they have a goal for advocacy for Medieval Studies in any way? These are all still a mystery.Dorothy Kimnoreply@blogger.com
