ita,
Here they would have been reported to the institutional review board. Perhaps not allowed to do research on Human Subjects for several months/years
Doesn't winter seem more like archiving season?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
She should be able to call the IRB at the institution if set up like US institutions.
FWIW this sounds like nefarious intent.

This email serves to inform you that you were part of a study undertaken by a group of MSc. Students at the Northern Caribbean University. The study is designed to test whether staff members at tertiary institutions across Jamaica engage in heterosexual, homosexual or bisexual relationships with students.
Oh HELL NO. So they were basically trying to set up a sting operation like the pedophile scams that pop up on every other episode of L&O?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There is little like my baby sister on an outraged rampage.
And she's got a head of steam up now.
I'm so proud of her right now, and a wee bit scared.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
WTF² on the student study thing. I mean, really.
All the news out of Canada today is craxy. There's also this guy: [link]
The guy in the apartment below me was singing/screaming the lyrics to "Bohemian Rhapsody" the other night. It was before 10:00, so I let it slide. (He also did a Stones song.)

The study is designed to test whether staff members at tertiary institutions across Jamaica engage in heterosexual, homosexual or bisexual relationships with students.
So...how far would the study have gone? Would the student have slept with your sister had she been willing? No way there's anything near ethics with the way it's set up.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Uh, no. You don't inform "participants" after the fact that they WERE part of a study. That's not actually a study. That's punking at best.
BULLSHIT.

OH HELL NO. I have a VERY hard time believing any IRB/Ethics Committee would approve that, especially since in many jurisdictions, taping someone's conversation without their knowledge/agreement is ILLEGAL.
However, it's being discussed here now, so even if no one takes it on, that's one more discussion than before they suggested it.
Well, there you go. Now buffistas have thought about it, and may keep an eye out and notice more where there are not gender neutral bathrooms, and where there are a "Mens" and "Women's" that could be but aren't, etc etc. Consciousness raised. Provocative and it worked, even if you didn't do the actual exercise, hmm?
