Overview
- Maggie Fairs and Valarie McDuffie have resigned, with McDuffie departing Friday and Fairs set to leave by the end of February.
- The museum will not hire a replacement for chief of staff as the director’s office is being restructured without that position.
- Director and CEO Daniel H. Weiss, who started in December, is leading an organizational review focused on senior leadership and accountability.
- The departures follow the Feb. 1 exit of marketing chief Paul Dien and the rollback of a proposed renaming while retaining a new logo from the recent rebrand.
- Former CEO Sasha Suda’s wrongful-dismissal dispute has moved to arbitration, and the museum announced Katherine Anne Paul as curator of Indian and Himalayan art.
