> What really annoys me in these situations is how the institutions show loyalty to the people who did research misconduct. When researcher X works at or publishes with institution Y, and it turns out that X did something wrong, why does Y so often try to bury the problem and attack the messenger? Y should be mad at X; after all, it’s X who has leveraged the reputation of Y for his personal gain. I’d think that the leaders of Y would be really angry at X, even angrier than people from the outside. But it doesn’t happen that way. The immediate victims of the con would rather act as if the con never happened. Instead, they’re mad at the outsiders who showed them that they were being fooled.

Show me the Democratic equivalent of Trump leaning on Brad Raffensperger to find 11780 votes. Show me the Democratic equivalent of the Eastman memo and the attempt to swap in fake slates of electors. Show me the Democratic equivalent of Sydney Powell launching and losing 60 post-election lawsuits to maintain the party line at all costs until Eastman's fix could be put into play.
- shuntress 3y agoYou are being overly dramatic. _Everywhere_ has politics. It's not special in universities.
- hnbad 3y agoExplain Jordan Peterson then. The only reason he ended up being "expelled" (and it was more of a resignation than an expulsion really) is because he stopped practicing for years and continued identifying himself with the position he held at the university while engaging in conduct that violated the professional code of ethics for that position. That's like working at McDonald's as a shift manager, going on indefinite leave, then touring media appearances to talk about your opinion on social issues while always making sure you're introduced as a McDonald's shift manager and then saying "You can't fire me, I quit!" when McDonald's politely asks you to stop associating with them in public. Hardly the academic behavior on par with the Russian Communist Party.
