"On the contentious issue of animal research, the matter of concern was not simply whether the university is misrepresented – it is whether it is represented at all. It was made clear to me that the university didn’t want any Tom, Dick or Harry manufacturing university statements on controversial matters. More interestingly, it seemed implicit in my warning that the university would rather steer clear of this particular can of worms altogether, and not bring the subject of animal research at the university to the forefront of the public mind. Universities should go public about their experiments on animals, and win society over."
