Science researchers (reportedly) pressured to suppress results embarrassing to DeSantis
https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/11/us/fl...ata/index.htmlA formal investigation has been launched by the University of Florida after an internal report detailed a culture of fear among faculty members claiming political influence on campus as well as instances of pressure to destroy and delay publication of Covid-19 research data.
Vice President of UF Research David Norton announced the investigation in an email to faculty and staff Friday morning, according to the university. The email indicates the results of the investigation will be made public upon completion, but did not give a timeline.
"UF Research became aware of possible violations of the UF Policy on Research Integrity," Norton wrote in an email, saying the possible violation relates "to the reported destruction of COVID-19 research data at UF."
Asked if the university was aware of actual destruction of data, the school said the investigation would be looking into that.
