NBC launches review of Lauer behaviour, company response

LOS ANGELES — NBC News Chairman Andrew Lack says the company is launching an internal review into Matt Lauer’s alleged sexual misconduct and how it was able to occur.

In a company-wide memo released publicly Friday, Lack said that’s among the questions employees are asking in the wake of Lauer’s firing as host of NBC’s “Today.”

Lack said a NBC Universal legal and human resources team has begun what he called a “thorough and timely review.”

He said the findings will be shared and acted on, no matter how painful.
