Michael Eisner has been fired off of Disney's Board of Directors (though he remains CEO. For now.).
After 43% of shareholders chose not to vote for his re-election to the board at the annual meeting here on Wednesday, the Disney board announced it was splitting the chairman and CEO posts Eisner has held since 1984. The board elected presiding director George Mitchell as non-executive chairman while keeping Eisner as CEO. The board added that it "remains unanimous" in support of Eisner.
