In 2021 SBCA proposed a new minimum standards policy which would set limits on Brown’s business and financial relationships with organizations that promote science disinformation.
Following a review and recommendation of the proposal by the Advisory Committee on University Resources Management (ACURM), President Paxson announced that Brown would establish a new policy for gifts, grants, and contracts and two new committees for formalizing the policy and its application. We applaud the President for her leadership and support her efforts to rein in the influence of disinformation at Brown!
