No. I’m faculty though and some of my best friends and colleagues are or were faculty there. I also research quantitative genetics. Been hearing the back story for years; many fear him and he threatened retaliation against some of my friends who were junior faculty.

Do you have real examples? These types of accusations are meaningless without real data. If they are real, I'd like to know the actual threats.

Sorry to hear that. How much power did he actually have to damage someone's research career?
