God. Fk. So uncomfortable

How do I explain this succinctly?

My friend (co-director of art school that I work at) recently got fired/resigned... I don't know exactly what happened there...

I am laid off (but still go in a contract basis), and I teach there, and sell my art there...

She got into a big fight with the other co-director, and things got really ugly.

Now I am in between the two of them.

I feel the need to be professional because I do make good money there when I teach and sell things.

But I feel like I am betraying her, and she asked me to come over to hers after I taught, and she got clearly very upset by me having been there, and that I mentioned the other director asked me to come in and essentially... teach him how to do her job.

She got visibly very upset and said, "You can just go in and be the new me!"

Then she asked me to leave, and then she kept telling me to not feel guilty when I left, and told me she loved me before I left.

I DO feel guilty though, and like the biggest jackass.

I feel like it would be really unprofessional for me to just leave the art school hanging and I can't burn bridges in this community, but I also feel like I should stand by my friend and just shirk everything there.

Ugh.

I know she understands but I hate how upsetting this has to be because of things that were said between the codirectors... and I just don't even know. It seems like he's claiming she resigned, but I don't think she did.

What he's doing is illegal. There is a board meeting tomorrow, and I volunteered to come in as secretary to reccord minutes, and I think I might ask to see an official resignation letter. Or see what else I should ask for, that is still professional, but trying to protect my friend.

Sorry this is so long. As a sidenote my friend is also going through a very messy divorce at the same time.

If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
