A Hail for Johnny Harvard’s Men…

… from Eric Alterman, in The Nation:

[If Harvard] allows its faculty to be corrupted by greed and payola, then society suffers as well.

… In 2008 Harvard earned an F from the American Medical Student Association for its lax conflict-of-interest standards on accepting Big Pharma cash…

[New York Times reporter Duff Wilson] tells me that “we [still] haven’t got to the bottom of the amount of influence drug companies and other special interests have on medical education or continuing medical education. As we reported, Harvard Medical’s dean wants to increase, not decrease, the school’s connections with industry.”
