Overview
- Suda filed an opposition in Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas asking the judge to deny the museum’s motion to compel arbitration and to allow a jury trial.
- Her brief cites what it calls an explicit contractual exception to arbitration and requests that the court retain jurisdiction over the case.
- The filing attaches texts, emails, and an HR salary letter that her team says show board awareness of cost‑of‑living pay increases handled through budgeting and HR.
- The museum’s earlier petition accused Suda of misappropriating funds through three unauthorized raises totaling roughly $39,000, allegations she disputes.
- The brief also seeks injunctive relief over alleged disparaging remarks by former board chair Leslie Anne Miller, as Daniel H. Weiss now serves as director and CEO.
