The professor had only been at Rutgers a few days before the university barred him from teaching or doing research while it reviews the matter.
A professor was placed on leave — prohibiting him from conducting research or teaching — days after he started his new job at Rutgers University, university officials said.
“The matter is currently under review,” Schumann said. “He will not be involved in any research or teaching at Rutgers during this time.” After Florida State investigated, university officials shut down part of the $413,000 research project and prohibited Zhang and two other employees from working in their lab for a year, the report said.
Schumann, the Rutgers spokeswoman, cited “personnel matters” when she declined to say if school officials first learned of the problems with Zhang’s previous lab through the Sept. 11 letter from the animal rights activist group. She also declined to describe the vetting process Zhang went through before he was hired.
