UVa Report after Morrissey suicide – No negatives for boss Genoways
Wednesday, November 24th, 2010
Kevin Morrissey’s July 30 suicide near the campus of the University of Virginia where he worked set off a national uproar. His surviving sister, Maria, who had contacted WBI, called the boss Ted Genoways a bully who had tormented her brother for 3 years. Here at WBI, we didn’t care about branding Genoways and never did. Instead, we believed the employer was negligent in light of their failure to respond to numerous informal complaints Morrissey and others had made to various institutional offices including the President’s office and HR. Apologists rushed to Genoways defense. The internal audit (investigation?) report was filed on Oct. 20. Let’s take a look inside and decipher hidden meanings.
