Stanford faculty disciplined for drug speeches - SFGate

Stanford University's School of Medicine is disciplining five faculty members for giving paid promotional speeches on behalf of drug companies in violation of campus policy.

Stanford officials say the disciplinary actions affect the faculty members' compensation and position within the medical school, but would not provide further details.

The San Jose Mercury News reports that in December the investigative reporting group ProPublica found that Stanford and several other teaching hospitals were not enforcing their own conflict-of-interest rules.
