彭慶安 Chin-An Peng 的劣跡 USC工學院都知道 有高層的信件為憑 想賴都賴不掉

以下是轉貼曾在USC唸書的某友人B提供其與當時公學院研究生代表M的信件

源自於研究生代表M 寫信給USC工學院Margery Berti, Assoicate Dean for Academic Affairs詢問工學院高層是否已經聽說彭, Prof. Peng的種種劣跡(信中提到的有強迫學生一個月只能用一雙手套 以及叫學生把薪水用開支票給他老婆的方式 中飽私囊)
Margery Berti將M的信原封不動的轉給她的上層Raghu Raghavendra, Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, 讓Raghu Raghavendra來處理
於是Raghu Raghavendra在回覆M的信裡面表示:
第一 校方已經知道這些事情而且著手調查處理中
第二 建議跟這件事情相關的學生去找法學院的教授Mike Brennan來諮詢

M在收到回信之後 將相關信件轉寄給友人B 請B告知相關學生
以下是詳細的email往來 保護當事人 我將B及M的名字馬賽克處理

Bxxxx,

Please distribute this information among your lab mates etc. who may find it useful. It seems to have gotten the attention of senior staff and there's a legal liason (so they must mean business). There's some crazy shizzle going on here. How deep does it go? If you have any more recent info please let memknow. I'd like to see what comes up in discovery.
Peace,

Mxxx

Assoc. Dean Berti,
I hope your recent trip to India was productive and enjoyable. I didn't hear from you while you were gone, but wanted to see if you had a response to the insurance issue.
In an unrelated issue, I have an ongoing discussion with many students from Dr. Peng's group concerning some unethical practices. In my personal conversations with students I learned the Dr. Peng only allows his students 1 pair of gloves per month to work with hazardous bio-materials. In my discussion I also learned that Dr. Peng had students choose between the money or tuition credits in their awards and had them write checks to his wife since most chose tuition. I have second hand information that there is a tape recording of one of these conversations by a former student, that Dr. Peng has had recent visits from counsel on campus, and that their has been a leak about these events to which he is blaming students from other research groups.
In any case I wanted to know if the administration is aware of these concerns and if any action has been taken. Many of the international students involved are worried about being sent back to their home countries and are apprehensive about talking. While I have no direct evidence of the check writing, I believe that I have enough student accounts about the glove issue that it warrants immediate action. Carrying infectious biological materials around in pockets puts all the students at risk and it would be very bad if Cal OSHA found out during a visit.
Do you have some time tomorrow afternoon to talk about these issues?
Thanks,
Mxxx
