Oh come on. This has nothing to do with timing, other than the fact that the heat started melting her. She did not decide to wait until sentencing was done to make her announcement. No, she and the trustees were delusional, thinking that this "Nassar thing" would blow over and that she could survive.
There is no way in hell that she should get praise or even a suggestion that "she did the right thing" by waiting to resign until after the sentencing was completed. That ship sailed a long time ago.`
And Trustee Joel Ferguson must be the next to go. His attitude has been atrocious for a long time, and, like Simon, he has continued to dig the hole deeper.
This is far from over.
