Someone needs to sic the folks from 4chan or Anonymous on this so they can do to Mann what they did to the University of East Anglia.
When this email crap broke, I wrote an email to the PENN State public affairs office and demanded they investigate him for academic misdoing.
The email I got back was addressed to “Dear Citizen of the Globe....” Guess how that turned out.
This man is an academic FRAUD and a rabid ideologue with credentials created by his own academic misdeeds. Peer review? Ha! Any review of his work was by co-conspirators in the fraud he is still trying to perpetrate on the world.
This latest FOIA stuff is symptomatic of a University, or system of Universities hell-bent on trying to keep the light of day shining on their faculty’s criminal behavior.
Seems to me if PENN would do this, what else have they done, or not done, ala Sandusky et al....I hope they get their financial clock cleaned by his victims.
:: could be exempted from release by a specific exclusion that absolves proprietary information ::
Really? The future demise of all mankind and physical destruction of the Earth as we know it is “proprietary”; the sole intellectual property of the scientists studying the phenomena?
Really?
Really?
“researchers in public institutions do not have to disclose to the public proprietary documents relating to their research,”
In other words, real science isn’t happening, we have Stalinesque “Approved Science” where certain subjects are forbidden, and discredited theories are chased down doggedly under orders of the Supreme Soviet.
