Heritage Foundation board ousts president Jim DeMint
By Tom Hamburger and Matea Gold May 2 at 7:15 PM
The board of the Heritage Foundation on Tuesday ousted president Jim DeMint after days of turmoil and internal debate, blaming him for management and communication problems that have roiled the venerable conservative think tank.
Thomas A. Saunders III, chairman of the Heritage Foundations Board of Trustees, said in a statement that the 22-member board unanimously requested and received the resignation of DeMint, the firebrand former senator from South Carolina. Heritage founder Ed Feulner will serve in his place until a permanent successor is chosen.
After a comprehensive and independent review of the entire Heritage organization, the board determined there were significant and worsening management issues that led to a breakdown of internal communications and cooperation, Saunders said. While the organization has seen many successes, Jim DeMint and a handful of his closest advisers failed to resolve these problems.
In his own statement, DeMint called the critique puzzling, saying the board had praised his work for the past four years and approved annual performance bonuses for the entire management team.
