Deborah Dugan has been officially terminated by the Recording Academy after serving as its CEO and chairperson for just 5 months.

In January she was placed on administrative leave after accusations of “misconduct” toward a female employee that some sources say was her former assistant.

The announcement came in a letter to Recording Academy members.
