The Section "Controversies"

edit

It seems the "Controversies" section is poorly sourced, as there are only two reports on this allegation dating back to 2011, both are from the same news organization WSB-TV2 Atlanta. The link to the university's original report is missing and no such reports show up in an Internet search (one can easily find official reports on allegations involving other employees such as https://news.gatech.edu/news/2014/10/30/audit-reveals-misconduct-research-lab-0). The news report referenced in this section is primarily based on the account of one reporter on what he had learned, but no primary sources are available to substantiate this. There are no direct statements from the university officials about the allegations in the reference. In the reference there is a comment that "federal authorities are investigating" the allegations, but no additional information exists about the outcomes from those investigations, since it is already more than 10 years old. So it seems this particular section falls directly under the WP policy of "Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article," as it is poorly sourced. One would expect more detailed outcomes from those investigations, if those allegations were true. Kijacob (talk) 05:19, 7 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
