Nygren served with ethics complaint as questions go unanswered; Navajo Times, November 22, 2025

 , Navajo Times ; Nygren served with ethics complaint as questions go unanswered

"President Buu Nygren was formally served Friday with an ethics complaint outlining four counts of alleged violations of Navajo Nation law, marking a new stage in the case filed by Special Prosecutor Kyle T. Nayback.

The summons, stamped by the Window Rock Judicial District on Nov. 21, gives the president 30 days to file a written response with the Navajo Nation District Court in Window Rock.

The complaint accuses Nygren of misusing public resources, directing staff to conceal improper spending and placing a relative in a political job after being warned the hire violated Navajo Nation personnel rules. The filing seeks his removal from office, a five-year ban on public employment, forfeiture of up to one year of compensation and restitution for unauthorized spending."

As National Park Service confronts sexual harassment, this dysfunctional park is Exhibit A; Washington Post, 7/2/16

Lisa Rein, Washington Post; As National Park Service confronts sexual harassment, this dysfunctional park is Exhibit A:
"The culture here became so toxic that the agency’s watchdog has conducted four investigations since 2012, an unusually high number for one of the park system’s smaller sites.
In the latest report, released in June, the inspector general for the Interior Department, the National Park Service’s parent agency, disclosed a pattern of unwanted advances and attention — along with inappropriate remarks — to female subordinates by the chief law enforcement officer. He is still employed by the park but was recently ordered to work at home.
Interviewed at his home in St. Cloud, Fla., the law enforcement officer, Edwin Correa — who was named publicly at a June congressional hearing — denied any inappropriate behavior, calling his actions “cultural misunderstandings.”"
