I have always avoid having my own students participate in my research because of the potential conflict. I think that's a good strategy, and I recommend it to everyone.

I would ask the question and clear up that "ambiguity." m ------- "Whatever power the United States Constitution envisions for the Executive in its exchanges with other nations or with enemy organizations in times of conflict, it most assuredly envisions a role for all three branches when individual liberties are at stake." --- July 20,2006 US District Court for Northern California > -----Original Message----- > From: Ken Steele [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, September 26, 2006 9:31 AM > To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) > Subject: [tips] IRB-type question: Recruiting current students > Importance: High > > > I am curious how tips folks would react to the following > situation.
