Disney Said to Weigh Dividing Top Posts (http://www.nytimes.com/2004/03/03/business/03disney.html) -- New York Times, 3/3/04
The board of the Walt Disney Company could announce as early as Wednesday that it planned to split the jobs of chairman and chief executive, which are held by Michael D. Eisner, according to two people close to the talks.
The announcement would be a reversal of the board's earlier position, one that has come under fire from some investors who have complained about what they called the poor oversight of Mr. Eisner.
