The deal was that the SBC when meeting officially during the two days of each year in annual session, can summarily dismiss trustees by simple majority vote. This is what was proposed for the ten SWBTS trustees on that board's executive committee. Such a motion was properly made, scheduled for action, and debated. The move to dismiss trustees was defeated by around 98% and only 2% or so in favor.
Trustees dribbled out more reasons for their earlier action to fire PP and strip him of the emeritus status, remove him from the payroll, and not allow him to have a retirement home on campus. Reasons were generally insubordination, refusal to obey trustee instruction and orders, along with financial issues. I expect that more info will be forthcoming.
