MAST responds to MCC’s “monograph” of “apology”

On Feb. 25, 2025, MCC began to circulate a “monograph” which it is calling “an apology.”

To us, this comes across primarily as further damage control, minimization, and denial – a classic “fauxpology.”

In its statement, MCC consistently minimizes the allegations and the harm, referring to workers who “experienced pain” or “left MCC feeling wounded,” while taking responsibility only in a vague way for unspecified occasions when MCC “systems were slow, unresponsive or dismissive,” when policies were not shared properly or communication “devalued or disempowered” workers. MCC falsely claims that “resolution” has occurred in cases of staff separation from MCC.

MCC’s vague apologies for poor communication and unclear policies are offensive in light of the seriousness of the allegations, and look like a way to pacify donors while failing to get to the bottom of what actually occurred.
