Unitarian Universalist head resigns amid controversy about staff diversity
The president of the Unitarian Universalist Association has resigned three months short of the end of his second term, declaring that someone else is needed to address issues of diversity in the association.
Peter Morales, the first Latino president of the liberal and theologically diverse association, resigned effective April 1 as criticism mounted over hiring practices.
“It is clear to me that I am not the right person to lead our association as we work together to create the processes and structures that will address our shortcomings and build the diverse staff we all want,” he wrote in his resignation letter to the UUA’s trustee board.
