Hewlett-Packard Co. announced this morning that its chairman, Patricia C. Dunn, will step down in January, amid accusations that she enabled or condoned potentially illegal spying on other board members in attempting to root out the source of leaks to the media.
Dunn's resignation is the culmination of months of embittered feuding at one of technology's iconic companies. At issue is whether the company's outside investigators, at the behest of Dunn, violated laws by posing as board members and journalists to access their personal phone records in hopes of finding the source of a media leak.
