   Link?
   Don't forget that Vavreck wrote a New York Times column in December bragging that LaCour had raised so much money to do the survey. She never had the sense to ask any questions?

   Jesus Christ, I posted it upthread, do you need to be spoon-fed?

   Here is a direct link to the article for those interested:

   http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/19/upshot/how-same-sex-marriage-effort-found-a-way-around-polarization.html

   Vavreck wrote this quote: ""[Mr. LaCour] raised enough money to keep the panel going for more than a year, which enabled tracking of people’s attitudes about same-sex marriage long after Mr. Fleischer’s team had come and gone."

   This is the real controversy. I am beside myself that she is a "leader" in our field.

   Listen, has anyone actually raised this with the NYT ombudsperson? That is the only way this clear conflict of interest will make it into print. Someone posted the contact info here a few days ago. Otherwise, we are just talking to ourselves.

   "Mr. Fleischer wanted to study the effectiveness of his scripts, so he asked Mr. LaCour and Mr. Green for help; the research design was their idea. (Disclosure: I have collaborated with Mr. Green on other work and am the chairwoman of Mr. LaCour’s dissertation committee.) "

   A complaint was lodged with the public editor roughly three weeks ago. No response. (Insiders also say there are stirrings within the NYT to publicly admit the conflict, but efforts have been stymied.)

   I think.it's a much bigger issue that she skated in all their coverage which never mentioned her Times job.

    Agreed. She is a paid contributor to the Times, and the Times has regularly been covering the LaCour situation. Yet they have never, in a single ML story, mentioned her involvement in the whole thing, or mentioned that LaCour's dissertation adviser is paid by the Times.
    So much for journalistic integrity (and no, not an oxymoron).

    Lots of idiotic cr@p on this thread.
    Vavreck's only fault is to have trusted her graduate student. She is a victim here. Sure, she could have asked for the documentation concerning ML's grants, but that's about it, and it's certainly not enough to crucify her as many are doing here.

    This is the correct answer, and everyone who isn't an angry, unemployed misogynist knows it. Get on with your life, and maybe you won't be so angry at someone you can only wish to know. I used to love this scandal, but now it sucks because it is nothing but losers commenting. Yawn, let me know when Jesse writing something again.

    I love how senior scholars who are irresponsible and let their coauthors commit fraud are victims. It's like there is nothing they SHOULD be specter do when working with someone other than put their name on it.

    It's not misogynistic to ask where the hell his advisor was. Even if she weren't tweeting and writing for the Times about it.

    Either she's an inept advisor who wasn't paying attention, or she abetted this guy. She's not entirely to blame, obviously, but she and Green deserve some of it.

    How stupid are you? Either you haven't been reading this thread or you're purposely overlooking all of the misogynist comments because this thread clearly includes more than the simple criticism that you're making below.
