They claim they got the IRB to say it's IRB-exempt.
- woofie11 6y agoA lot of IRBs are a joke. The way I've seen Harvard, Stanford, and a few other university researchers dodge IRB review is by doing research in "private" time in collaboration with a private entity. There is no effective oversight over IRBs, so they really range quite a bit. Some are really stringent and some allow anything.

From one regent: “[this] has not risen to the level of our concern”. https://www.startribune.com/markingson-case-university-of-minnesota-can-t-regain-trust-under-current-leadership/299415621/ https://www.startribune.com/markingson-case-university-of-mi...
- gjack905 6y agoWow, very interesting read (not finished yet though), thank you. To me, this seems like it should be considered as part of UNM's trustworthiness as a whole and completely validates GKH's decision (not that any was needed).
