An audit found that Frank P.K. Hsu, who makes $1.2 million a year, bought the equipment with university funds, often using 'suspicious' or 'unauthorized' means.
Federal regulators are increasingly approving medicines before studies have shown they work, leaving patients at risk of taking prescriptions that could harm but not help them.Tom Vasich, a UCI spokesman, said Hsu had now repaid the university $404,000 — the value of purchases questioned by the auditors.Two experts questioned whether the university‘s response was sufficient.
Liz Hempowicz, an expert on whistleblower protections at the Project on Government Oversight, said administrators should have looked into the purchases when Zhou first raised questions with administrators about the missing $53,000 camera in 2014. “He used state funds as his piggy bank,” she said. “He is setting a bad example for these future doctors.”The Times found a rising number of death investigations across the country were complicated or upended after transplantable body parts were taken before a coroner’s autopsy.
The dean who hired Hsu, as well as the medical school’s current dean, both told the auditors that they “had no knowledge” of a neurosurgery media lab, the report said. Josephson said he believed it was “outrageous” that the university had not done more to ensure its professor was not misusing funds.
