Hi resadmr's,
Our research newsletter for faculty has a recurring piece called "Stories
from the Horror File," and this month I am looking for your horror stories
re: consequences of faculty signing their own paperwork (contracts,
agreements) and sending it back to the funding entity thus bypassing the
trusty research administration office.  Of course, this is a problem at
many research universities nationwide and I know there are plenty of
stories out there.  Please reply to this list only if you don't mind your
story being publicized; otherwise, email to me off the list at
xxxxxx@iit.edu.  For the newsletter article I am writing, I will not use the
name of your institution, just the sad tale of the tangled consequences of
your faculty member's noncompliance with policy.  Please give examples of
resultant harm/delay to their research funds.  I will post a single summary
to the group.  Many thanks in advance!
-Glenn Krell
