| The first 150 words of the full text of this article appear below. |
More news from Tobacco University, as the once esteemed institution in
Nottingham, in the midlands of England, tends to be known nowadays.
Readers will recall that last May, the university accepted a £3.8
million (US$5.3 million) donation from BAT, to fund an International
Centre for Corporate Social Responsibility (Tobacco
Control 2001;10:1-2). The vice
chancellor and his colleagues probably thought that the fury let loose
against them in the press, not just from health agencies, but from many senior academics, would soon die down. The Cancer Research Campaign (CRC), a major sponsor of research at Nottingham and pioneer of a code
of practice on tobacco funding of research, adopted by many
universities and other research institutions in the UK and elsewhere,
was prominent among the critics. Give it a week or two, the Nottingham
officials must have reassured themselves, and people will turn their
attention to something else.
