the previous prominent IRB/ethics lapse at U of Minnesota (yes there was one) was fairly horrifying but the University more or less won the case by claiming that as a state institution they could not be sued. You can read up on it here: https://www.startribune.com/markingson-case-university-of...

Thanks for the link. It indeed shed more light on IRB of UMN.
