Yet different readers thought that the board shouldn't be sacked with out additional investigation.

Username Lazy Git defined: “At the top of any company or committee there's always one, whether it be a CEO or a chairman, they alone take ultimate responsibility for the actions of said company or committee so no, the whole board shouldn't resign. It’s the job of the top man to take the fall.

Similarly, username mabel said: “Those at the top yes, they should resign. I'm unsure about the whole board, I don't know how much they were involved in this debacle.”
