These Values Are Non-Negotiable / by alicia johnson

Research for the novel HUDSON:
Fox announced today that they fired Jamie Horowitz, head of Fox Sports programming.

From the LA TIMES story:
Horowitz’s dismissal came less than a week after 21st Century Fox began investigating allegations of sexual harassment in the workplace at Fox Sports.

“Everyone at FOX Sports, no matter what role we play, or what business, function or show we contribute to — should act with respect and adhere to professional conduct at all times,” Fox Sports President Eric Shanks said in an email to staff members, announcing Horowitz’s departure.

“These values are non-negotiable,” he said.

I advocate the adoption of his statement, "these values are non-negotiable." There's no "boys will be boys" there's no celebrity pass, there's no presidential pass. Non-negotiable.
