NO WHISTLE-BLOWING.

The article discusses how an Iowa judge has ruled that the University of Iowa was within its rights when it fired an outspoken laboratory director in 2007. Mary Gilchrist, former director of the university's Hygienic Laboratory, had claimed that officials broke the state's whistle-blower laws by firing her for objecting to cutting the size of a planned laboratory building. But a state judge found that Ms. Gilchrist was not blowing any whistle, she was just lobbying for a larger budget for the planned laboratory building.
