It seems that at the time of the meeting there was a lot of ambiguity/uncertainty about EXACTLY what had happened, but that there was certainly something concerning that required careful investigation. Since we'll never know exactly how much detail was presented in the meeting, it's pretty tough to pass total judgment on the participants' opinions at that time (FWIW I think we know enough to say JQ's opinion was bad...I'm just not sure it was heinous).
I also think it's likely that management wanted to limit JQ's involvement to leave him focused on the job of coaching...ie. "we want you to be aware, but don't worry, we'll handle it".
I've read most of the report now...everything I saw indicated the Blackhawks did not provide any references for Aldrich...can someone point me to that or the stuff about JQ writing a reference letter?

Oh, I’m not saying they all shouldn’t be fired from their present positions. But some of them may actually warrant more than that - they maybe should be personally liable to the victims, along with the organization.
On the recommendation - it’s mentioned in the report.
I n his last performance evaluation, dated June 29, 2010 (after Aldrich had separated from the team), but unsigned by Quenneville and Aldrich, Quenneville wrote: “Aldrich did a great job for the Coaching staff in preparing us for all of our meetings and coordinating several tasks that we forward his way. Brad has several people relying on him at the same moment and has a way of deflecting and accommodating everyone at once … Congrats on winning the Stanley Cup!”
