Defibrillator Research Professor Frank Bates, head of Chemical Engineering, published a study yesterday in the journal Macromolecules that highlights significant issues with St. Jude defibrillators. The study includes clear language that identifies Bates as a paid consultant to Medtronic, and it is my understanding that the research was funded by Medtronic. Like all published research, this study was peer-reviewed. The study has already received some attention in Business Week (http://www.businessweek.com/ap/2012-11-13/analyst-study- shows-new-st-dot-jude-wire-problems) and may also generate local attention since both companies are located in Minnesota. Social Worker Sanctioned Several media outlets (including the Star Tribune: http://www.startribune.com/local/179042061.html?refer=y) have reported on a Corrective Action agreement between former D of M social worker Jean Kenney and the Minnesota Board of Social Work, which was signed last Thursday, Nov. 8th. While employed at the University, Kenney was the study coordinator for the Department of Psychiatry for the CAFE study, which was a comparison of three medications used to treat first episodes of psychotic incidents. One of the study participants, Dan Markingson, committed suicide during his time in the study. The full Corrective Action is available here: http://www.socialwork.state.mn.us/Portals/0/SO-ACA/ACA_Kenney-13622-11082012.pdf Mark Rotenberg provided the following statement in response to media requests: "Jean Kenney is no longer an employee at the University of Minnesota and hasn't been for a number of years. The University was not a party in the Corrective Action - that is a voluntary agreement between Ms. Kenney and the Minnesota Board of Social Work. We note that the Board-Kenney agreement provides for no discipline of Ms. Kenney. Animal Rights Lawsuit The Animal Legal Defense Fund is bringing suit against the University for access to records of the University's internal Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC). Some blogs have picked up on the story, as has the Minnesota Daily. Regents who serve on the Litigation Review Committee will hear more about this at their next meeting. Preparation for Residency Program (PRP) 1 of 2 2/26/15 10:08 AM University of Minnesota Mail - Several Media Items https://mail .google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&ik=281fa64bb4&vievv.. Two years ago, the University of Minnesota Medical School launched the Preparation for Residency Program (PRP) to train immigrant physicians and get them on a track to practice medicine in the United States. After some initial success, the landscape and prospects for the program have changed. Therefore, the Medical School has suspended the PRP program as it looks for new ways to leverage the talents of these physicians. A fact sheet on the evolution of this program is attached.

The event is being jointly coordinated by the National Economic Council, the Domestic Policy Council, and the Department of Education. SENATE HEARING ON CAMPUS SAFETY The Senate Higher Education & Workforce Development Committee will hold a hearing on metro campus safety on Tuesday, 12/10. VP Wheelock and UMPD Chief Hestness are scheduled to appear. (Details can be found here: https://www.senate.mn/schedule/schedule.php?ls=&type=upcoming&cmte_id=3072& cmte_type=standing). UNIVERSITY SENATE TO DEBATE HUMAN SUBJECTS RESEARCH RESOLUTION Several faculty members have continued to express concern about the circumstances surrounding the 2004 suicide of Dan Markingson while he was enrolled in a clinical drug trial at the University of Minnesota. Several independent investigations and reviews have been conducted and in February 2011 then-Chair Clyde Alien sent a letter on behalf of the Board stating "we do not believe further University resources should be expended re-reviewing a matter such as this, which has already received such exhaustive analysis by independent authoritative bodies." His letter goes on to state, "We do not intend to suggest that the broader concerns you raise related to protection of subjects involved in clinical research are unimportant. To the contrary, we encourage the University community to engage in further discussion about these wider issues." (See complete copy of Alien letter attached.) On Thursday, 12/5 the University Senate is scheduled to debate an FCC resolution on this matter. Rather than re-opening past investigations, members of the FCC are advancing a resolution that calls for an "investigative panel external to and independent from the University of Minnesota" to conduct "an inquiry examining current policies, practices, and oversight of clinical research on human subjects at the University,".

Several independent investigations and reviews have been conducted (see attached summary) and in February 2011 then-Chair Clyde Alien sent a letter on behalf of the Board stating "we do not believe further University resources should be expended re-reviewing a matter such as this, which has already received such exhaustive analysis by independent authoritative bodies." (See complete copy of Alien letter attached.) On 12/5/13 the University Senate passed a resolution seeking an external review of the University's human subjects research policies, practices and oversight. An RFP for that review has been issued. Recently, individuals from inside and outside the University have attempted to escalate this matter by contacting prominent community leaders and University donors. We have also been informed that a peaceful protest/vigil is being planned outside McNamara Alumni Center in conjunction with the upcoming Board of Regents meetings. If you are contacted about this case, please refrain from responding or otherwise weighing in. Regent Alien's letter is the only statement the Board has made on the Markingson case and it is important that the Board Chair and President present a single, unified voice on this topic.

  • Without a Concerted Effort, Our State's Historic and Cultural Treasures Are in Danger of Being Lost to Time. the Minnesota
    Without a concerted effort, our state’s historic and cultural treasures are in danger of being lost to time. The Minnesota Historical Society awarded a Minnesota Historical and Cultural Heritage Grant in the amount of $7,000 to the City of Mankato. The grant was approved by the Society’s awards committee on July 22, 2010 and will support its Historic Survey of 12 Properties for Local Designation Project. Minnesota Historical and Cultural Heritage Grants are made possible by the Minnesota Legislature from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund created with passage of the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment to the Minnesota Constitution in November 2008. The grants are awarded to support projects of enduring value for the cause of history and historic preservation across the state. Historic Survey of 12 Properties for Local Designation Project The Historic Survey of 12 Properties for Local Designation Project is a project of enduring value because it will provide a list of properties to be listed on Mankato’s Local Historic Registry. The project begins on October 1, 2010 with an anticipated completion date of February 1, 2011. The project will include conducting historic surveys on 12 properties for potential local designation. “It is wonderful to see so many communities and local organizations benefitting from the Historical and Cultural Heritage Grants,” said Britta Bloomberg, deputy state historic preservation officer. “Minnesotans should be proud of the unprecedented opportunities these grants provide for organizations to preserve and share our history and cultural heritage. The impact of projects supported by Historical and Cultural Heritage Grants will be felt throughout the state for many years to come.” City of Mankato Historic Properties Survey and Local Designation Inventory Form Report Prepared for the City of Mankato Heritage Preservation Commission Prepared by Thomas R.

  • University of Minnesota Calendar
    The actions of the 1967 Minnesota Legislature in support of education are a credit to its membership. Even though there were some things the University felt oould and should be done for the State which were not funded, the general level of appropriations reflects continued wisdom of Minnesotans in making an investment in their most valuable resource- people. Compensations for University faculty and Civil Service staff members were substantially impr·oved by the actions of this year's Legislature and, as a result, the University has an enviable opportunity to maintain and strengthen its own human resources. At the same time, each member of the University community must exert increased effort to provide for the people of Minnesota the best teaching, research, and service that a university can offer. Gaining widespread understanding of the University and its needs is a continuing responsibility for all of us. But, in legislative years, many individuals assume additional duties to help build this awareness of the University and its operations. Principal leader in this effort is Vice-President Wenberg. An articulate and effective ambassador for the University at the Legislature and throughout the State, he has made invaluable contributions to the University cause. Among those working with Vice-President Wenberg on the legislative team were Assistant Dean McFarland of the Institute of Agriculture and Associate Dean Gault of the College of Medical Sciences. To them and to the countless staff members who cooperated generously to make our efforts a success, I express deep appreciation on behalf of the University. 0. Meredith Wilson President Carol E.

Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Mark Yudof dated July 17, 2018. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes.

  • History Overview P
    University of Minnesota Facts 1988 History The University of Minnesota was founded as a preparatory school in 1851, seven years before the territory of Minnesota became a state. Financial problems forced the school to close during the Civil War, but it reopened in 1867. It survived partly because of the help of Minneapolis businessman John Sargeant Pillsbury, a University regent, state senator, and governor, who is known today as the "Father of the University." The Morrill Act or Land-Grant Act, signed into law by President Uncoln in 1862, also played a big part in the school's survival. The act gave each state a grant of land within its borders; the income from the land was to be used to provide education for people of the state. In 1869 the school reorganized and became an institution of higher education. William Watts Folwell was inaugurated as the first president of the University on December 22, 1869. There were only nine faculty members and 18 students that year. Four years later at the first commencement, two students received bachelor of arts degrees. The first doctor of philosophy degree was awarded in 1888. In that same year, the Department of Agriculture opened on the University Farm in St. Paul. The Duluth campus joined the University in 1947; the Morris campus opened in 1960, the Crookston campus in 1966, and the Waseca campus in 1971. Overview The University, with its five campuses, is one of the most comprehensive in the country and ranks among the top 20 universities in the United States. It is both the state land-grant university, with a strong tradition of education and public service, and a major research institution, with scholars of national and international reputation.
