I suppose it’s “odd.” It could also be mere coincidence. We’d need more info. Coincidence happens, which is just one reason we do our best to learn and implement proper investigative techniques and sound research methods.

As for OSU not publicizing his departure for the Weinberg Foundation, why would they want to do so? What would be their motivation? I honestly don’t know, but I’m sure OSU PR folks are working on proper spin. Not my area, but I’d guess he didn’t get a big enough…BONUS?

Dr. Joe “Studies Show” Alutto has valid points. Indeed. I don’t doubt he has that capability. In his honor I shall dig up my vintage textbook, “The Practice of Social Research” by Earl Babbie (1983!!) and spend some time with it, along with fond memories of Dr. Gisela Hinkle. She was AWESOME.

I hope The Lantern keeps up the good work! I have been impressed. My only criticism is that they come so late in the semester, when students are at their busiest studying. At least that’s what they should be doing! :)
