A vote was made but the motion failed to pass. Hence, Dr. Landau remained on the board until the end of his term. One should also understand that in our bylaws a board member can be removed if their actions threaten the stability of the organization. His comments were made in front of donors who were offended by his actions. We believe in Free Speech, I don't care what this man says or what he does, but when he's representing the ACLU as a leader he has a certain responsibility to the organization and its members and he has failed in that capacity.
