Former Recording Academy president Deborah Dugan has agreed to settle with the organization in the dispute over her ouster last year just days ahead of the 2020 Grammy Awards. The settlement was reached after a process of arbitration. The terms of the settlement are not known.

“The Recording Academy and Deborah Dugan have agreed to resolve their differences and to keep the terms of their agreement private,” Dugan and the Academy said in a joint statement issued Thursday night.

Dugan was put on administrative leave just days before the 2020 Grammy Awards in January following accusations of “misconduct” made by a female employee.
