Emory's reporting practices puts all reporting in question |
||
| Emory University in Atlanta, home to the Yerkes Primate Center, has admitted fudging the numbers to get higher rankings. Many potential students use the rankings to determine which school they should attend--higher rankings means more money to schools like Emory. Is it possible that if one area at Emory is willing to cook the books, that those at Yerkes Primate Center would do the same? Would Yerkes be willing to make claims about the outcomes of experiments to enhance the chances of receiving federal grants etc.? Would Yerkes overstate the importance of their experiments? Some believe Emory did not make this rankings revelation because it's the right thing to do but because of potential lawsuits and wanted to break the news first in order to control the spin. You decide. Emory has never been so willing to come forth when caught violating the law. When was the last time Emory announced they had been fined for violating the Animal Welfare Act? No such announcements immediately come to mind. |
