Same problem different year.

Occupants at the @UMich @umichLSA Research Museums Center continue to watch drivers being trained, while being excluded from bus service.

[Jen Bauer @PaleoJB]

Highlighting an inconsistency at @UMich: Blue Bus drivers receive training at Lot SC43, a yellow lot 4.5 mi S of campus. Yet, bus transportation isn't facilitated for @UmichLSA building occupants. Let's bridge this gap for a more inclusive campus community. 🚌 #UMich

And more @UMichPaleo research out on #FossilFriday, this time from @PaleoJB!

@DrPardi @Paleowin @MarysRevenge Yup! And often you end up in difficult positions with PIs, admins, etc. These situations tend to be more complicated than necessary- often due to misunderstandings !

[Jen Bauer @PaleoJB]

@Paleowin @MarysRevenge I hope this is making sense. If the repository that loaned you material is OK with it and you have the legal issues worked that��s awesome. But if not, it would be effectively considered theft like w/ what’s going on now with Bobby & Sarah.

[Jen Bauer @PaleoJB]

@Paleowin @MarysRevenge I’m not trying to argue or cause problems, Win. But, for example, if you were in violation of a loan agreement from where I work - the regents and their legal team are within their right to take action against you for holding their property.

[Jen Bauer @PaleoJB]

@incisorial @PerAhlberg1 @Paleowin @MarysRevenge Yes, I think there’s a miscommunication. There is no issue loaning to people at institutions , that’s why I asked for a clarification. The loan is still not to the individual it is to the inst. for legal reasons. It’s important that everyone read & understand the loan docs.

[Jen Bauer @PaleoJB]

@Paleowin @MarysRevenge Win- that was not at all what I was saying and I am sorry that’s how it was interpreted. I was asking you to clarify because I simply didn’t understand. Any institution can loan material from the repository I work at (incl high schools, non profits, community centers).

[Jen Bauer @PaleoJB]

@Paleowin @MarysRevenge Not sure I understand being “barred” from studying if you can’t get to a repository, can you clarify? I can see it being not possible if you don’t have an institution and therefore would need a loan to you/another org vs an employer.

[Jen Bauer @PaleoJB]

@Paleowin @MarysRevenge Obviously, I can’t speak for all repositories but you should have paperwork that says the specimens are loaned to you for work in your home. Then no problem. UMMP only loans to institutions and specimens are not allowed to be in personal residences (exceptions happen but rarely).
