Dugan’s lawyers Douglas H. Wigdor and Michael J. Willemin, issued a statement Sunday in response to Mason Jr.’s letter to the Recording Academy. The Academy is recognized for our excellence. We are a leader. And being a leader means taking responsibility even when it feels like the problems at hand are bigger than us.
In February 2018, we empowered a Diversity Task Force, led by Tina Tchen and made up of distinguished individuals from outside the Academy, to take a hard, independent look at our organization specifically and the music industry as a whole. They detailed the ways in which we were falling short, and laid out 18 recommendations for change.
1. The Academy will hire a dedicated Diversity & Inclusion Officer. This person will be hired within the next 90 days.
