We’ve made progress under a lot of the issues that happened last year and it's under Nichelle’s leadership.”
When asked whether the board considered these criticisms against Morley, Tribble said that they did. She said they chose Morley because they wanted someone with"fresh eyes on the situation" to heal the fractures. She said he did not establish a safety protocol or acquire protective equipment for staff when they returned to the library after it opened following the COVID-19 lockdown.

He said he stayed in downtown New Orleans but returned home to his family outside the city on weekends.
