I would have thought that Dr. Neavyn would have had a greater urgency about a whistleblower's charter, given what the institute has been through. This charter would be primarily for internal purposes but also it would be a way of trying to revive a level of public confidence, to show that the former culture does not persist. I would suspect very strongly that if there was that reticence about questioning bizarre and extravagant spending by the president I do not imagine that this was just a limited phenomenon within the organisation. I suspect if one were to examine the organisation in its totality, one would find that this reticence was echoed in all different parts of the organisation.
