I read the article. And I read the above quote. Neither support what you're saying. Where is the quote indicating that?

> One trustee allegedly told him, “I probably shouldn’t say this, the vote was very very close, but some people said that they were just more comfortable with Marek [Tyszkiewicz]. They should probably do some introspection as to why that is.”
> Chu, who is gay, said he mentioned his husband throughout the interview, and he believes that made the board members “uncomfortable.”
this is the quote in question, I think. not really as cut and dried as it's being presented. I wonder if the deliberations were recorded?

You could reasonably assume that, but it would be hard to prove in court unless someone said it verbatim that him having a husband was uncomfortable for them

yeah, that's what I was thinking. "more comfortable" is pretty ambiguous, and could be interpreted as referring to the years of work experience
