FYI, following the link below gives a short article by the Executive Director of Scientists for Global Responsibility (who spoke at the 2011 RadStats conference) It's about the problems of influence within universities, emphasising the need to protect the independence of the university system. It links to Peter Wilmshurst's article RadStats 104
