""a "small, corrupt faction of the [museum] board" had commissioned an external law firm to conduct a "sham investigation" into her expenses and recommended her resignation.""
""the motion, as well as its false narrative, fits the Museum's longstanding pattern of trying to cover up its misconduct and mistreatment of staff.""
""We expected the Museum would prefer to hide the sordid details about its unlawful treatment of Sasha Suda in a confidential arbitration," Nikas continued. "If the Museum had nothing to hide, it would not be afraid to litigate in state court where we filed the case.""
Philadelphia Art Museum filed a petition on November 20 to move its dispute with former Director and CEO Alexandra "Sasha" Suda into confidential arbitration. Suda sued the museum on November 10 alleging unlawful termination and multiple employment agreement violations and is seeking two years of severance at her $720,000 annual contracted salary. The museum alleges that Suda misappropriated thousands of dollars and awarded herself three unauthorized salary increases between March 2024 and July 2025. PhAM announced Daniel Weiss as the new director and CEO. The museum declined further comment while Suda's lawyer condemned the motion.
