Michael Mann, the Penn State professor at the center of the "Climategate" controversy, is set to be scrutinized by a small team of Penn State faculty. This committee has 120 days to delve into the details of the accusations that Mann falsified information and provided misleading evidence to support climate change.
The committee investigating this situation is made up of three people including Henry Foley (Vice President for Research), William Brune (Mann's boss in the Meteorology Department) and Candice Yekel (Director of the Office of Research Protections).

One of the researchers whose emails were leaked was Dr. Michael Mann, Professor of Meteorology here at Penn State. Dr. Mann’s emails contained criticisms of a pair of papers that deny […]
Times are dire, my friends. I fear for our University. I mean look at what’s going on.
