  • Position Statement on Parran Hall
    University of Pittsburgh Equity, Inclusion, Anti-Discrimination, Advocacy Committee (EIADAC) www.univsenate.pitt.edu/committees/equity-inclusion-and-anti-discrimination-advocacy Parran Hall Position Statement The University Senate’s Equity, Inclusion and Anti-Discrimination Advocacy Committee (EIADAC) is concerned that a University building continues to bear the name of Dr. Thomas Parran. A noted physician and Public Health Service officer, Parran was appointed the sixth Surgeon General of the United States from 1936 to 1948. During that time, Parran was aware1 of the notorious Tuskegee and Guatemala syphilis experiments,2 conducted by Dr. John C. Cutler, which examined the long-term health impact of syphilitic infection by following the natural progression of the disease in already infected rural African-American men in Alabama and by deliberately infecting healthy, yet vulnerable populations in Guatemala (i.e., prisoners, sex workers, soldiers, children, and psychiatric patients) with the disease without their knowledge and consent. The study went on in the United States and in Guatemala long after the discovery of penicillin as an efficacious cure for syphilis, and study subjects were led to believe that they were receiving medical treatment when they, in fact, were not. Historian Susan Reverby, in reviewing Cutler’s files discovered the following: “Malaria specialist G. Robert Coatney, who had done prison malaria studies, visited the project in February 1947. In reporting to Cutler after he returned to the States, he explained that he had brought Surgeon General Thomas Parran up to date and that with a "merry twinkle [that] came into his eye ... [he] said 'You know, we couldn't do such an experiment in this country.' Such conduct should not be glorified and is contrary to Pitt’s valiant mission.

PRIVATE OPERATING FOUNDATION REFORM AND J. PAUL GETTY Khrista McCarden* INTRODUCTION The Tax Reform Act of 1969 (“the 1969 Act”) established an arcane form of charitable organization called the private operating foundation.1 Essentially, a private operating foundation is a charitable organization exempt from income tax that in a hierarchical sense is situated between what is known as a public charity and a traditional private foundation. In other words, it is not publicly supported, as are public charities, and thus it is a private foundation; however, it does more than just make grants.2 This form has been subject to countless abuses3 and reform is necessary, especially in the context of private operating foundations that operate art museums (“private art museums”). A recent New York Times article reported that many perceive the ability of wealthy art donors to maintain control over artwork while also receiving tax benefits for varying degrees of public benefit as unfair.4 It is widely accepted that one of the fundamental policies underlying our federal tax system is the notion of fairness.5 Private art museums raise * Hoffman F.
