A renowned Harvard University professor was stripped of her tenure and fired after an investigation found she fabricated data on multiple studies focused on dishonesty.

Francesca Gino, a celebrated behavioral scientist at Harvard Business School, was let go after the school’s top governing board determined she tweaked observations in four studies so that their findings boosted her hypotheses, GHB reported.

Harvard administrators notified business faculty that Gino was out of a job in a closed-door meeting this past week, the outlet reported.

We are supposed to trust the "experts" right? It reminded me of this:

Sucks for her.
Glad she was caught and is facing the consequences of her lies and cheating.
 
Harvard fired her, seems like the right decision. Not sure why the OP is creaming his pants about it -- it's the right that never holds its people accoutable for their constant lying, manipulation, and corruption.
 
Expert was cheating and caught by other experts is proof that we shouldn't trust the experts.
So who should we trust? Pedophile priests? Pedophile billionaires? Who?
 
MAGA surprised by institutional accountability. 😀

That's the difference between science and politics.

The rules of The Art of the Deal include pushing lies that benefit you (sometimes refered to generously as "positive thinking") and never admit you're wrong.

That's like saying because one surgeon mistreated his patients we shouldn't trust any surgeons.
 
Twitter seems to be his go to, which is kind of classic since they explicitly support publishing disinformation.
As opposed to scientific journals which are, unlike Twitter, supposed to be the holy grail of reliability but are actively publishing fraudulent papers and disinformation? Most of the papers she has been fired over were published over 10 years ago. What happened to the gatekeepers who are supposed to be doing peer review before publication?

Would be nice if felons were getting fired.

That's a good question. Once we have ruined everyone's influence because they all can't be trusted, then who ...

Hmmm

The media lies, covers up, and has increasingly more bias.
Politicians lie, cover up, cheat, scam, grow rich.
Doctors/experts are swayed by the need to be published, or pharmaceutical companies.
The government is constantly caught with their pants down, lieing, covering up.

You tell me who YOU trust.

During doctorate program studies you are literally taught how to manipulate questions utilizing programs like SMSS to determine which questions asked will produce favorable results. Qualitative research analysis teaches where, when, and who to seek out survey results from to secure favorable findings. Even 20 years ago we were asking why research was only considered viable if the findings matched the dissertation 'question'... and why instead wasnt research and study findings deemed just as valuable if the research disproved hypothesis. The same work and effort went into the research, writing, delivery and defense and the whole purpose of the dissertation experience was to expose students to process. Even back then (and I'm certain long before then), academia was not asking honest questions...they were pursuing results to match predicted outcomes.

The whole point of the Enlightenment was to trust no one but yourself. Truth is everyone just traded one argumentum ad verecundiam for another.

You mean many famous actors, business owners, professors, political activists, middle income workers, and even CEOs...or are you just determined to shit yourself and scream TRUUUUUUUUUMP!!!! in yet another thread that has **** all to do with Trump?

Even the most prestigious journals are full of statistical errors. The peer review process doesn't catch them because often the peer reviewers are no more mathematicians than the study author.

'Cause it tarnished Harvard
'Cause it tarnished science
'Cause it tarnished an educated female with a foreign name

You know the OP would not be starting a thread if it was about a white middle aged male professor at Liberty.
