Academic research should NOT waste the time of a community.

If you believe this behavior deserves an escalation, you can contact the Institutional Review Board (irb@....edu) at UMN to investigate whether this behavior was harmful; in particular, whether the research activity had an appropriate IRB review, and what safeguards prevent repeats in other communities.

All researchers at UMN must comply with their Human Research Protection Program Plan [1], and the UMN worksheet [2] to determine if a research activity needs IRB approval includes this question:

====
Will the investigator use, study, or analyze information or biospecimens obtained through either of the following mechanisms,? Specify
which mechanism(s) apply, if yes:
…
Communication or interpersonal contact with the individuals. ("interaction”).

which I believe is true based on this thread.
