Quote:“Based on the guide, had the research been conducted at SLAC I imagine we would already be processing MTL’s paperwork for dismissal for cause,” Chassin wrote. “The fact that his past research activities did not conform with Stanford’s standards at that time is the most relevant question in my mind, and these revelations should disqualify him from holding any current position at Stanford or SLAC. The credibility of the entire organization is at stake and it should be painfully obvious to all that his personal privilege is subordinated to that of the organization he leads.”
Amen.
I'm not as concerned as Bik is that a former DA is running the investigation, as long as they involve qualified independent scientists as well. This will be a complicated investigation and I think a DA has more relevant experience.
