You think the entire school, from the President to the trustees to the school Deans, etc., knew what was going on?
Are these the same ones that did this investigation ?
Climategate: Penn State Professor Mann under investigation
From the link...
"The University is looking into this matter further, following a well defined policy used in such cases. No public discussion of the matter will occur while the University is reviewing the concerns that have been raised.
My question: What does this say for the integrity of their entire department? It is hard to imagine that Mann was the only person involved in manipulating the data at Penn State. What other faculty, and perhaps even grad students were part of the scheme?"
Now is the time to investigate their investigation while the mood is right to have them open the doors to that one as well. Happy Valley is not going to be very cheerful for a very long time.
