A shame Salma Hayek didn’t get the job.

She’s intelligent and well read.

$1 million a year? In Chicago, for running a museum?

Where does he think he is, California?

Look for San Francisco to do some heavy $$-lobbying-$$ to get this guy to Kalifornia. Fits right in.

Stripping on a plane? How is that a crime?

I am surprised that we aren’t forced to fly naked to prevent terrorist from taking weapons on board.

I Googled the story and looked at about a dozen sources for this incident. All of the articles just say “prescription medication”.

“Police were called as the flight landed following reports of Rondeau - the institute’s highest-paid employee, making over $1million in 2023 - stripping off his clothes after drinking alcohol and taking prescription medication.”

Hey look at the bright side. At least it wasn’t Hillary the passengers had to view.

Generally speaking - those high level positions, especially in art museums, are for those who are “good earners” - ie., they have the pull to get the donations, grants, etc.

To be paid this much, he must be a VERY GOOD ‘earner’. Perhaps he spent too much time around the filthy rich and thought he could mimic their private aircraft antics on his commercial flight?

You know, while there’s a lot of good things happening lately, it’s stuff like this that truly gives me pause about just how long this country can survive.

The rot is so deep.

"good earner"

Well, maybe he's about to become a great earner! After all it's for ART!

The Art Institute is a fine museum, or anyway used to be.
