8. Anonymous question submitted for the Administration:
“What steps has the administration undertaken to ensure that what happened in the Potti case (i.e. academic fraud and multiple failures of various checks & balances including the IRBs) will not happen again? Why has the administration not directly informed the faculty about this case as it has unfolded? Such communication would have afforded the administration an opportunity to bring the faculty on board with meaningful recommendations and a strong public response to this case.”
