Texas A & M regents briefed on controversial research
|
|
Probe of mercury-into-gold effort outlined
|

College Station, Texas - The Texas A&M Board of Regents was briefed
|
|
Wednesday about university investigations of a $200,000 donation for
|
|
research into a process that purported to turn mercury into gold.
|
|
|
|
Chancellor William Mobley acknowledged being aware in September 1992
|
|
of a federal subpoena to the university's development office
|
|
concerning the donation. But Mr. Mobley, who was then Texas A&M
|
|
president, said he did not believe at the time that the inquiry had
|
|
anything to do with A&M.
|
|
|
|
The donation for what donor William Telander of California called
|
|
THE PHILADELPHIA PROJECT came to the university's development
|
|
foundation in March 1992.
|
|
|
|
In March 1993, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed suit
|
|
against Mr. Telander, accusing him of running a fraudulent
|
|
international currency exchance scheme. No charges have been filed.
|
|
|
|
Interim president E. Dean Gage told the board about the review he
|
|
had set in motion: a board of inquiry to investigate allegations
|
|
that the researcher, Dr. John O'M Bockris, was guilty of scientific
|
|
misconduct, and a second board to determine whether the university
|
|
followed proper procedures concerning the donation and the research.
|
|
|
|
"We believe everything was followed according to what we should have
|
|
done, but we want to make certain in the future that we protect the
|
|
public, the university and our faculty members," Dr. Cage said. Dr.
|
|
Bockris has denied any wrongdoing.
|
|
|
|
Several board members expressed dismay that they had learned about
|
|
the potential problems associated with the project from the news
|
|
media and not from the university. Regent Billy Clayton asked
|
|
whether Mr. Telander had misused A&M's name, and Dr. Cage said that
|
|
would be investigated.
|
|
|
|
The board inquiring into Dr. Bockris' actions has 60 working days to
|
|
produce a report. The board reviewing university policies regarding
|
|
this and other donations is due to make a preliminary report next
|
|
month.
