Two questions on former Kansas City leaders (updated)

That last post on KCUR FM's new General Manager got me thinking yet again about two former leaders in town who not only quit their jobs and moved on but seemed to disappear quickly. Both cases seemed at least odd.

And both the gentlemen who left were Black---they were African-Americans--coincidentally.

The first was the President and CEO, I believe, of KCPT.

I can't remember his name.

All of a sudden, he quit, was gone and there was no explanation given.

The other was the head of Penn Valley Community College--Bernard Johnson was his name, I believe. One day he's working there, the next, he's turned in his resignation.

I thought both situations were so odd.

Here are high-paying positions commanding some respect and all of a sudden both of these gentlemen resigned and with no explanation.

And sure, maybe there was no big, dark, ugly secret to it but usually when people in these positions resign, it's very publicly announced that they're going on to such and such a new position and company.

If there was, in both these cases, nothing dark about the changes, it seems the changes made were very quietly kept.

It made me wonder why, at least.

If anyone knows what happened in either case, I'd love to hear. Just curious.

Now, breaking news, there's this today from KCUR:

Kemper Museum Announces Resignation Of Director

This seems to fit this thread, too.

So, questions:

Why? Why is the Kemper Museum abruptly, it seems, resigning? Was it a personality clash with someone? disagreement? What, exactly, went on here? Nothing? Something? Is it similar, in any way, to the reasons the other two men left their positions?

Inquiring minds want to know.
