The TAB report on the UMN affair

UMN, even in their most recent response, has claimed that it isn't considered Human Subject Research, so they disagree with you. I think they are full of sh*t, but they almost had to make that claim, given that the Hypocrite Commit work was funded by an NSF grant, and if they admitted that it was subject to the HSR rules, then (a) their IRB would probably in deep doodoo, and (b) they might have to refund their grant money to the NSF, and/or be subject to various disciplinary actions from the NSF. It's my understanding that a complaint has reached the NSF, and it'll be interesting to see what the good folks at NSF think of UMN's claim of, "no HSR work here"!
