University of Washington Accused of Falsifying USDA Reports

University of Washington officials in Seattle are accused of filing false reports to the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, according to a complaint filed with the USDA by the national research watchdog organization, SAEN.

Georgianne Nienaber wrote on OpEdNews.com yesterday, that a major news conference to release details of the complaint is scheduled on THURSDAY, 10:15 a.m. at the Seattle Tower, hosted by SAEN, an Ohio-based non-profit investigatory organization. Nienaber explains further:

SAEN was the original filer of the federal complaint that exposed abuses by UW researcher Albert Fuchs in late 2006. Fuchs has since been reprimanded by the UW, cited by the USDA and barred from publishing his research.
