OK, that last part I made up, but don&#8217;t be surprised if the next CEO has even closer ties to China than Troy did.<\/p>\n<p>While I certainly hope it&#8217;s not for health reasons that Troy quit, I can&#8217;t say I&#8217;m sorry to see him go. His hamfisted, authoritarian rule oversaw a massive upset in ASQ membership, an increase it insanely draconian policies (again, that mirror China), and some bungled financial dealings that will ensure his short tenure goes down as a dim bit of history for ASQ.<\/p>\n<p>Troy will have resigned without ever denouncing racism within the group &#8212; or even denouncing it in general &#8212; despite a call to do so dating back to 2017. Instead, Troy announced he would allow anyone to become a member, regardless of any history of racism or hate speech.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, ASQ has become a full-on cult, so without a leader who is willing to turn ASQ back into a true &#8220;professional society&#8221; and offer actual services to members, instead of abusing them as commodities to either sell or sell to, then ASQ won&#8217;t repair itself. We can expect little leadership, in the meantime, from either Templin or Torres. Expectations aren&#8217;t high.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe I&#8217;ll put my resume forth for the job. It certainly pays well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ASQ&#8217;s CEO William Troy has permanently resigned, forcing a mad search in Tienanmen Square for a replacement.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19428,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","mc4wp_mailchimp_campaign":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[18,623],"class_list":["post-19427","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opinion","tag-asq","tag-william-troy","et-has-post-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oxebridge.com\/emma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19427","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oxebridge.com\/emma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oxebridge.com\/emma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oxebridge.com\/emma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oxebridge.com\/emma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19427"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.oxebridge.com\/emma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19427\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19433,"href":"https:\/\/www.oxebridge.com\/emma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19427\/revisions\/19433"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oxebridge.com\/emma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19428"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oxebridge.com\/emma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19427"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oxebridge.com\/emma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19427"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oxebridge.com\/emma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19427"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
