Turmoil at US constitution museum as leader exits ahead of 250th anniversary
A leadership shake-up at the US Constitution museum has prompted controversy, with outgoing director Jeffrey Rosen leaving amid disputes over motives. Rosen, praised for a non-partisan approach, is accused by some of being ousted for political reasons as the institution gears up for its 250th anniversary. The organization has not disclosed detailed reasons for the leadership change, while supporters defend Rosen’s stewardship and, ahead of the milestone celebrations, emphasize the museum’s bipartisan mission.
