This will no doubt be a huge marker in the sand in illustrating the role of boards in oversight, being compassionate & #goodgovernance I recall the early days of this being reported & the impact with lives lost to suicide due to the humiliation caused - so tragic

Man's inhumanity to man....
We’re doing Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo again, except both at once, and to random dads and barbers abducted off the streets of America for the crime of being Latino
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

63 studies: women who assert their ideas, make direct requests, and advocate for themselves are liked less.
They're also less likely to get hired—and it hasn't improved over time.
When will we stop punishing women for violating outdated gender stereotypes?
