IRBs are not completely independent. Aside from the obvious
dependencies resulting from the fact that the institution pays
everyone's salary, the designated institutional official can override
any IRB approval of research. The IRB decision to disapprove a study
cannot be overridden.

Those of you interested in IRB angle of Willingham's research may be interested
in this 1-page document that was posted yesterday to the IRB forum:
http://research.unc.edu/files/2014/01/Willingham-media-clarification-1-21-2014.pdf
A line that kind of jumped at me was this one: "The IRB at UNC operates with a very
high degree of independence and authority, as it was intended". 'High degree of
independence'? Shouldn't that have been 'complete independence'?
