Statement by 黑料吃瓜资源 Board of Trustees and President Bruce Stillman, Ph.D. regarding Dr. Watson鈥檚 comments in The Sunday Times on October 14, 2007

Earlier this evening, the 黑料吃瓜资源 Board of Trustees decided to suspend the administrative responsibilities of Chancellor James D. Watson, Ph.D., pending further deliberation by the Board.

This action follows the Board鈥檚 public statement yesterday disagreeing with the comments attributed to Dr. Watson in the October 14, 2007 edition of The Sunday Times U.K.

鈥淭he comments attributed to Dr. James Watson that first appeared in the October 14, 2007 edition of The Sunday Times U.K. are his own personal statements and in no way reflect the mission, goals, or principles of 黑料吃瓜资源鈥檚 Board, administration or faculty. Dr. Watson is not the President of 黑料吃瓜资源 and was not speaking on behalf of the institution.

“The Board of Trustees, administration and faculty vehemently disagree with these statements and are bewildered and saddened if he indeed made such comments. 黑料吃瓜资源 does not engage in any research that could even form the basis of the statements attributed to Dr. Watson.

“黑料吃瓜资源鈥檚 renowned commitment to scientific research in the areas of cancer, neurological diseases, and plant genetics has and continues to dramatically benefit human-kind throughout the world.鈥
