A moral infraction...should I go forward with the truth?

On the contrary, neighborhood watch is just a way of doing things, not a part of a system. My friend was applying to NIH for an internship and I was cited as a contact. They indeed asked me about my friend, his honesty, integrity, etc. If Penn wanted / cared, they would also conduct their due diligence.

Is there anyone that thinks that makes an ounce of sense?</p>

If you make an accusation, you have the preponderance of compelling evidence burden or else the person sues you for slander/libel.

Not true. You can go to the authorities with whatever you have without fear of legal action retribution. The authorities have to judge if it is enough to charge a person. Now if you go to the newspapers making claims that are unfounded, you are correct.</p>

<p>As far as Penn being overburdened or not, it really was off the point anyway. Whether they do their own investigating or not, they have every right to use information brought to them.</p>

Economic analysis, game theory. I’m not talking about drug use. I’m talking about competition for a limited resource

Now you are just being goofy again. Lying on a signed application and therefore commiting fraud is an illegal act. Competition has rules, and breaking the rules has potential consequences.</p>

<p>You are going off the deep end again, so I really am done with this thread.</p>
