Keith Hopson, as the chairperson of the company, his job is to make sure that every procedure by the management is accurate and fair to the employees of all positions.

Setting up salaries and remunerations should be in regards to the rate of job, not in accordance to the person who is doing the job. Therefore, Keith was justified in saying that the job should be evaluated not the person as the meeting which was being conducted was to “develop internal standards of comparison and measure relative job values within the organization.”
The purpose of the meeting was not to evaluate the performance of the employees or determine the effectiveness or abilities of the workforce. The performance evaluation task is to be done by the supervisor of that employee.

Keith made the right decision as it has the fair and justified thing to do.
