It’s not merely his “personal” life, it pervades every aspect of his professional life and film work!!
But there are certainly some large issues that need a lot more attention, such as how and when to consider such allegations, who investigates, who decides, how to assess evidence and make judgments, what types of actions should be disqualifying for membership and/or for consideration for awards, etc.
I certainly agree that they should not change history by removing “credits” for work already performed, i.e., someone’s name on a film for whatever purpose should not be stripped away later, as they are reportedly doing with Harvey Weinstein. Leave the records of work already performed alone.
But it is worth considering whether “moral turpitude” however defined should disqualify someone from the HONOR of being a member of the academy.
The problem, of course, is that they are now onto a very slippery slope and may have a lot of trouble distinguishing between cases.... whose behavior is bad enough to get them the boot? There may be a lot of candidates for expulsion!
Let the name of Weinstein be stricken from every book and tablet, stricken from all pylons and obelisks, stricken from every monument of Hollywood. Let the name of Weinstein be unheard and unspoken, erased from the memory of men for all time.
