Milwaukee Public Museum finance

If you are interested in the financial crisis over at the Milwaukee Public Museum, a site called Charity Governance has been running a series of articles. They are quite critical of the Board, and it seems to me properly so.

I have long had a lot of criticisms of the way the museum has been run for the last several decades, but the crisis revealed over the past couple weeks is in a class by itself.

The article linked above has a link to a pdf of an interview with Museum President Mike Stafford which appeared in this month's "L&S Today", which is a University of Wisconsin publication. Given the revelations of the last couple of weeks, paragraphs 2 and nine are rather breathtaking.
