That's what they're talking about, not corporate governance. If you do animal experimentation, you have an independent board that reviews the protocols, etc., to ensure things are done ethically. Similar to an IRB with human experiments.
The heavy weighting towards employees isn't a sign that it was selected for its independence from the company.
- hackernewds 4y agoSo how did the board if independent, end up electing company representatives?
- meepmorp 4y agoThe board isn't sui generous, it's established by the company. But if you're going about the selection process in good faith, you try to balance the membership so the decisions aren't driven by the interests of the company vs the ethics. I'm not positively asserting that it was unethical, but prima face it doesn't look especially great.
