We can be no less attentive to faculty prerogatives and governance on this matter than, for example, Stanford University, whose faculty senate adopted its financial conflicts policy in 2004. <p>John <hr WIDTH="100%"> <table> <tr ALIGN=LEFT BGCOLOR="#EBF887"> <td><font size=-1>Web page spun on 16 January 2009 by <a href="http://uoregon.edu/~gilkey">Peter B Gilkey </a>202 Deady Hall, Department of <a href="http://uoregon.edu/~math">Mathematics</a> at the <a href="http://uoregon.edu">University of Oregon</a>, Eugene OR 97403-1222, U.S.A.
