A top Australian university will not force the retraction of studies into the health benefits of a group that a jury found makes false claims about healing, despite its own medical researchers failing to disclose they are devotees.

A top Australian university has stood by studies into the health benefits of a group that a jury found was a"dangerous cult" making false healing claims, despite its own medical researchers failing to disclose they were devotees.

UQ pro vice chancellor Mark Blows said the investigation found the studies contained"omissions … related to full declarations of potential conflicts of interest [and] inadvertent errors including statistical miscalculations". The ABC has seen online posts by the lead UQ researcher, Christoph Schnelle, in which he made his allegiance to UM clear several years before the studies.

Look at all of the negative news stories associated with that University in the last few years, they have some serious and deeply seated problems to deal with and until they do so fully their reputation will continue to decline.

QldUniversity has been scammed, it appears, but they refuse to acknowledge same; is this the 'trusting science' thing they talk about? You let members of a cult in, let them massage figures, publish 'official' papers? Well, I suppose it is.

All Universities world wide are Militarized .... Chain of Command.
