15 years of "everything's fine?" Or simply 15 years of employees quietly being passed over for promotion, implicitly encouraged to seek employment elsewhere, and not wanting to jeopardize a professional reference? Nobody ever lost a job by not complaining about their workplace environment.
Workplace discrimination and a hostile work environment are by their nature self-perpetuating and are often subtle enough to go unaddressed and unchecked for years as victims desire to avoid "rocking the boat" and jeopardizing both their present and future employment.
Any appearance of bigotry so high up the chain of command cannot be tolerated if an organization truly wishes to be inclusive. Letting him continue to hold his prior position of authority unchecked after his bigotry came to light was a mistake; promoting him simply compounded the long-festering problem.
