More than ever, the Recording Academy, the nonprofit organization of 21,000 music professionals that votes on the Grammys, finds itself in a fight for not just relevance but survival. Its chief executive, Deborah Dugan, was placed on administrative leave last week after “a formal allegation of misconduct by a senior female member of the Recording Academy team,” the academy said. Dugan’s dismissal came after she sent an internal memo describing financial malfeasance and voting irregularities within the academy. Last year, Dugan replaced the previous academy CEO, Neil Portnow, who was criticized for suggesting that women in the industry needed to “step up” if they wanted wider recognition at the Grammys.
