I’m not against the international expansion at all… but it’s time for The Academy, which seems to want to continue to do this, to explain why it should continue to expand internationally and what the real goals are. Remember, the international expansion came as a result of complaints by non-whites in the American industry about inclusion. Unable to make a real impact on the statistics with domestic industry people of color, The Academy went international and took 4 years to admit as much.
The new CEO hinted at the idea that international was a growth opportunity for The Academy. If that is the case, it needs explaining, not just cheerleading.
