More detail about the whole situation would be required in order to evaluate this situation. It's not absolutely a conflict but it is not clearly permitted either.
I agree that the situation cannot be classified as all-black or all-white without being much closer to the situation. Non-participation in meetings is a step in the right direction, but whether it's sufficient is impossible to say from a distance. One easy step that might be taken is to present the situation to the agency providing the grant. It probably has ethical guidelines for grantees.
