This was 2021, near the end of COVID. So I have noticed that during COVID, similar organizations were for one reason or another under similar pressure for restructuring. One particular case for me was the Free Software Foundation.

In fact, I would say the education quality has gone down while all sorts of new buildings are being constructed. It is crazy because the enrollment is declining.
My point is that I think what happened was probably more complicated (maybe others can chip in). I am not trying to defend NR, however I think people should be skeptical.
There's nothing here!
