Appraisal Institute Controversy Part 2

Lots of appraisal mills love AMCs. Their business model is finding appraisers to work for 40% of the fee and they collect the other 60% . They don't care what the fee is, so they love AMC work. I'll take 60% of anything as long as someone else doing the work.
 
I wonder which will be announced first: A new Pope or new institute CEO? The institute has a 3 week head start but more politics and no chimney to keep the members informed. Anyone want to start a pool? The money can go to charity, I'm sure there's an appraiser relief fund somewhere that could use the money.

With smoke rising from the chimney, we now know more about the inner workings of the Vatican than the appraisal institute. Unless there’s a surprise, a new pope will be announced before we even know who the candidates are for the new appraisal institute CEO.
 
Holy cow, no pun intended. Dr. Chance has filed her lawsuit AND the New York times published a detailed article about the inner workings and drama in Chicago. Wow, just wow. It's behind a sign in wall, you can sign up for free article without committing to pay or give payment info:

The organization that influences how much houses and commercial buildings are worth in the United States privately paid one woman $412,000 to settle a sexual harassment claim and fielded similar complaints from at least seven other women that have swirled within the group over the last decade, The New York Times has found.
 
Is it, then, the AI's official position that: racial discrimination = bad and sexual harassment = ok?

Unfortunately the second part of the article attacks appraisers as "old white racists" who don't give certain borrowers their value...
