Ummm.... Maybe the person that resigned is not the same person who made the decision to cut funding to PP.

Top Komen official resigns in protest over grants cuts


Quote:
Meanwhile, a top official at Komen, Mollie Williams has resigned
in protest over the grant cutoff, according to a source.
Williams had been Komen's director of community health programs
had resigned in protest over the grant cutoff.

Williams, in an email, said she could not comment on her departure for reasons
of professional confidentiality, but she was clear about her views.

"I have dedicated my career to fighting for the rights of the marginalized and underserved,"
she wrote. "And I believe it would be a mistake for any organization to bow to political pressure and compromise its mission."
Also, it is being reported on TV right now that Komen is reversing the decision,
and will re-instate funding to PP.

This is a very good tactical and strategic management decision.
