… there was an
… insurrection among [Harvard psychologist Marc Hauser’s] staff… “[When] Marc was in Australia, [said an informed source], the university came in and seized his hard drives and videos because some students in his lab said, ‘Enough is enough.’ They said this was a pattern and they had specific evidence [of research fraud].”
Background here.
Not a peep out of Harvard all this time. They seem to have retracted one of his papers… or gotten him to retract it or something… But otherwise, three years after strong evidence of fraud on the part of one of its highest-profile faculty members, Harvard’s doing and saying nothing. Only because someone at Harvard leaked a letter about it to the press do we know anything.
The cover-up is beginning to look as bad as the scandal.
