James Rondeau, the president and director of the Art Institute of Chicago (AIC), has voluntarily stepped away from his position while the museum investigates an incident during a flight to Munich. Reports indicate Rondeau disrobed on the flight after possibly mixing prescription drugs with alcohol. The AIC has confirmed the incident and initiated an independent investigation. Rondeau, who has significantly contributed to the museum's development since 1998, has faced challenges including labor negotiations and a separate embezzlement case during his tenure.
James Rondeau, the director of the Art Institute of Chicago, is on voluntary leave during an investigation into an incident on a flight to Munich last month.
