You are the general counsel of Spillways, a company engaged in providing filtration equipment and services to public water utilities. One of the independent directors of Spillways is Tommy Travis, a retired four-star general in the U.S. Army. The chairman of the board of Spillways comes to you one day with a problem. General Travis has been publicly accused by one of his senior aides of sexual harassment during his time in office, resulting in sensational coverage in the tabloid media. The Army announces that it is initiating an investigation into the charges. Based on your experience in government service, you predict that the investigation will take at least a year. In the meantime Travis will continue to serve as a director of Spillways unless some action is taken to remove him from the position. What do you advise?
