mrfootball Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 (edited) This would be one of the drawbacks of having such facilities on campus. http://www.star-telegram.com/news/story/149876.htmlAUSTIN -- Three Texas A&M University researchers became accidentally infected with a highly contagious biological weapons agent last year and then university officials covered it up, an Austin-based watchdog group alleged Tuesday.The infections were confirmed in April 2006, but the university did not report them to the Centers for Disease Control until recently, in violation of federal law, the watchdog group alleged.Serious question: does the Aggie Code of Honor pertain to university officials?

mrfootball Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 (edited) I guess I'm just uncomfortable with officials covering up accidental exposures of highly infectious diseases at the local bioweapons lab.

mrfootball Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 (edited) Since that has nothing to do with the Texas A&M Cover Up story which happens to be the topic of this thread. Please answer the question. Does the 'Aggie Code of Honor' pertain to A&M administrators? Edited June 27, 2007 by mrfootball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I don't think the Code of Honor applies to school administrators or The Listeater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-Town Man Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Since that has nothing to do with the Texas A&M Cover Up story which happens to be the topic of this thread. Please answer the question. Does the 'Aggie Code of Honor' pertain to A&M administrators?It pertains to Aggies. The question is, are A&M administrators Aggies? I think an Aggie though is anyone who has ever attended school at Texas A&M. So my hunch is, unless they were students there, no.Why does it matter though? There's plenty in the Employee Handbook that this is in violation of. You even have to take an online course on ethics to be an employee now. And if they are bound to the Honor Code, it won't be the first time that someone has violated it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess one out of 3 is still following the "code" as long as you don't break all three rules at once, the Aggie in question is safe ?
