“It’s hard to do things over the summer,” Morrison said. “We’ll get our work done in the fall.”

Morrison was similarly not concerned with the fact that Nila Devanath and Andrew Freeman missed the meeting.

“Board members have jobs, some are not even back in the city, one is taking an intensive LSAT class,” Morrison said. “It’s not a big deal.”

Morrison said that the Board is required by its constitution to have a meeting during the summer. He said that he accomplished things for the board during the summer but that he would wait until the next meeting to make this information public when more people were in attendance.
