If he is the former communications director what is he resigning from?
Its a small error but annoying.
He’d been demoted from that job after the concall was revealed, but still worked for the NEA until today.
He was removed from the communications director job to another job, but no one could find out what the new job was. He was probably in limbo after resigning the communications director position, but that is harder to explain.
I guess they should have written it:
Yosi Sergant, the former National Endowment for the Arts [NEA] communications director, resigned from the NEA today. He had been in limbo since resigning as the NEA communications directors position last week in the midst of the NEA controversy over asking grantees and potential grantees on conference call to support Obama administration policies.
