"A letter signed by more than 1,000 academics accuses Northwestern University of 'unjust treatment' of Jane Ying Wu, disregarding the principle of innocent until proven guilty."
"The lawsuit filed by Wu's estate alleges that during the NIH investigation, the university limited her work, closed her lab space, and reassigned her grants to her colleagues."
"After the investigation concluded, Northwestern allegedly cut Wu's salary, raised new requirements for her funded status, and refused to restore a prior grant taken away from her."
University leaders are urged to apologize for their treatment of Jane Ying Wu, a tenured neuroscientist who died by suicide following an investigation linked to the China Initiative. A letter from over 1,000 academics claims Northwestern University disregarded the principle of innocent until proven guilty. Wu, a naturalized US citizen, was investigated by the NIH but faced no charges. The lawsuit alleges that during the investigation, her work was limited, her lab space was closed, and her grants were reassigned, leading to her isolation and eventual salary cuts.
