Angela, You've got a very good point. The tenured professors have a stake in any of the studies conducted under their authority. It is understandable that they would suppress any information that would make them look bad in the educational community. Also, it's a matter of keeping their reputation and their jobs.
This is one of the reasons why brilliant minds who discover new ideas get persecuted for their works--such as, Galileo. Although the Catholic Church has apologized for its mistake, it didn't do any good to Galileo who's been dead and buried for about 500 years. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Angela Mailander <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Having spent my entire adult life in universities, the > fact that there is no academic freedom is more than > obvious to me.
