Georgia Tech continues to deny acclaimed professor Eva Lee access to her school computers to allow her to help the government’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.
On April 14, Lee’s lawyer renewed the request for the professor to get access to the 200 modeling computers she has used on the Tech campus to help governments respond to prior and potential disasters. In his letter, attorney Buddy Parker said Lee did not have to be physically on campus to access them.
Lee has been barred by Tech from accessing her computers because National Science Foundation agents found she had falsified a membership certificate behind a $40,000 grant. She has pleaded guilty to making false statements.Even so, two top officials at the Department of Homeland Security have asked Tech to grant Lee access to her computers. The first request was made Jan. 31 by the head of DHS’s Agro/Bio Terrorism Countermeasures Division. The second request was sent March 23 by Duane Caneva, the agency’s chief medical officer.
