Uber’s board is meeting to discuss CEO Kalanick temporarily stepping down

The board of directors at Uber Technologies is meeting this morning to discuss CEO Travis Kalanick stepping aside for a period, according to reports by Reuters, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.

Kalanick taking a leave of absence is one of several recommendations coming out of an internal report on Uber headed up by Eric Holder, who served as Attorney General during the Obama Administration. The Holder inquiry also recommends that Emil Michael, Uber’s senior vice president of business, be asked to leave the company, according to the Times.

Uber hasn’t publicized today’s meeting and didn’t respond to requests for comment.
