It was Professor Donnelly's choice but it would have been good housekeeping to have seen this coming down the tracks. I do not think it is acceptable. I understand the standard practice relating to spin-off companies is done everywhere. Is it common practice and ethical in other institutes in other jurisdictions for somebody in a position such as Professor Donnelly's to invest personally in companies into which he or she had more insight than someone on the street? Are there examples of that?
