Human Subjects
Greetings:
NMU's Human Subjects in Research Committee, the group that oversees such
research on campus, insists that I revise the NMU Archives' oral history
release form to include language that specifies the interviewee's consent
to submit as a human subject in research. Moreover, they want the form
re-titled, "Consent to Act as a Human Subject."
Has anyone else out there had to contend with such a demand? I do not
believe that oral history interviewees fit the definition of human subjects
in research, a definition that invokes images of needles and psycho
manipulation. I plan to take a stand in opposition. Has anyone else out
there had to deal with such a thing? If so, how did you deal with it?
Thanks for your help!
Marcus
