It is with sadness but relief that I can report that the University of 
Washington has finally dealt with the long rumored improprieties 
involving the Vertebrate Paleontology collection at the University of 
Washington. I first alerted the University of perceived problems in 
1989, but better late than never, although the personal cost along the 
way was high. The website with the report on the collection and a news 
article can be found at:
