Trump - Musk efforts to fire without cause
or notice high-ranking employees / administrators
of Federal or independent agencies has hit a
road-block : today June 10 -- the Smithsonian's
board of Regents ruled that the Portrait Gallery

and disruptive/chaotic way. see

Mid-afternoon last Friday of May :
May 30, 2025
Kim Sajet
the DIRECTOR of the National Portrait Gallery
one of the Smithsonian institutions
has been pink-slipped and told to
turn in parking pass and email password.
The independence of the Smithsonian
seems to be a relic of the long-past.
The Smithsonian is governed by a board
of regents that appoints a secretary to serve
as the institution's chief executive. About 2/3rds
of the institution's funds are provided by the
federal government and the rest is raised
privately.
Update: Thurs. June 4, 2025
The director of audience engagement has
asked commissioners not to speak to the media
until Smithsonian officials determine their
next move. NY TIMES article -- firing is met
with doubt and silence /Arts/Design
