Tracinski no longer associated with ARI

A RoR reader sent me the following snip taken from the Ayn Rand Institute's website:
Robert W. Tracinski is no longer associated with the Ayn Rand Institute--neither as a writer nor as a speaker. The Institute promotes the philosophy of Ayn Rand, author of Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead. Objectivists are often criticized for their public break-ups, but I think being forthright when a relationship ends is the more honest approach. Reality demands an unflinching dedication to the truth, including the fact that some relationships deserve to end.
In my opinion, Tracinski has publicly embraced a theory of history that rejects the importance of Objectivism and principled consistency in defining and defending the long term good. As such, it would be dishonest to claim that he continues to be a public advocate for Ayn Rand's philosophy. If the end of Tracinski's association with ARI was brought on by his recent thinking, I am glad for it, for it would be an honest end to recent events.
