A matter of public trust

Conclusion I for one believe it would take a superhuman effort on the part of the Dean to recuse himself from every financial analysis, purchase decision, research decision, and educational decision at the University of Illinois that has the potential to involve Novartis or its competitors.  As noted, I am in no way asserting or implying that this superb physician and researcher has improperly benefited or that he has failed to disclose under state law or University policy.  What I am saying is that both institutions require a person to exercise a proper duty of care and loyalty to each of them.  It is inconceivable to me that this is possible in this case, not only in terms of time commitment, but also in terms of the overlapping scientific research and clinical interests of the two organizations.It is this matter that faces the Trustees of the University of Illinois.  It is this matter of public trust.
