The cry for help got an immediate response. Monckton offered to help draft a legal complaint against Oreskes.

James Enstrom, an epidemiologist who dismisses the public health dangers of air pollution, advised Singer he had “a very strong case” for complaining to Oreskes’s employers.

“I suggest you attack Oreskes by filing short grievances with Harvard and Stanford,” Enstrom wrote.

“Good thought,” Singer said.</p>

In a letter, he claimed he was called “a liar for hire” in the documentary.

The phrase does not appear in the film, Kenner said. However, it does appear in media coverage of the film.

“I have some experience with libel suits,” Singer writes in the letter. “I would prefer to avoid having to go to court; but if we do, we are confident that we will prevail.”

He goes on to criticise Kenner for basing his film on the Oreskes book, saying: “It is rather too bad that you got mixed up with Naomi Oreskes. She claims to be a historian of science; unfortunately, she has only demonstrated that she’s a great polemicist with a rather well-defined bias.”

On 9 March, Enstrom also wrote to Kenner, echoing Singer’s claims. “I am concerned that your film makes statements about Dr Singer that could be considered defamatory,” he wrote. “Because your film is based on the book ‘Merchants of Doubt’ by Naomi Oreskes, PhD, you need to know about her contentious and controversial background.”

Enstrom called on Kenner to arrange a debate between Oreskes and Willie Soon, the Harvard-Smithsonian researcher exposed for taking industry funding, when his film is screened in Boston later this month.

Singer did not respond to requests for comment.</p>

December 21, 2013

<a href="http://www.linkedin.com/pub/james-enstrom/10/530/59" target="_blank" style=" color: rgb(0, 95, 169); text-decoration: none;">http://www.linkedin.com/pub/james-enstrom/10/530/59</a>

In 1965 Dr. Enstrom graduated co-valedictorian of his class at Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, CA, where he obtained a B.S. in physics. In 1970 Dr. Enstrom obtained his Ph.D. in elementary particle physics at Stanford University from Nobel Laureate Melvin Schwartz. During 1971-1973 he worked as a physicist at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory in research group of Nobel Laureate Luis Alvarez. He then came to the UCLA School of Public Health as a postdoctoral fellow in cancer epidemiology and received an M.P.H. and postdoctoral certificate in 1976 from renown public health epidemiologist Dr. Lester Breslow.

He then joined the UCLA School of Public Health faculty as a Research Professor / Researcher and he held that position for 36 years until June 2012. He currently retains a similar affiliation with UCLA, although he is now drawing retirement. He has been a Fellow of the American College of Epidemiology since 1981, he has been listed in Who’s Who in America since 1990, and he has been President of the Scientific Integrity Institute since 2005.

During his long career, he has explored many important epidemiological issues, particularly focusing on California. A major theme of his research has been identifying lifestyle factors which reduce mortality from cancer and heart disease and increase longevity. An example is his long-term study of religiously active California Mormons. Their healthy lifestyle, which includes avoidance of tobacco and alcohol and emphasis on education and marriage, results in an increase in longevity of about 10 years.

He has also examined the influence of environmental factors on mortality. In December 2005 he published a major paper on fine particulate matter and mortality in California. Since then he has conclusively documented that fine particulate matter does not cause premature death in California

Since August 1, 2013 he has been assisting the US House Science Committee with its subpoena of the secret science data that EPA has used to improperly justify its fine particulate and ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and related regulations in California and the United States.

He has an ongoing Federal lawsuit against UCLA in order to resolve the issues associated with his academic freedom and his faculty position at UCLA (<a href="http://thefire.org/article/15587.html" target="_blank" style=" color: rgb(0, 95, 169); text-decoration: none;">http://thefire.org/article/15587.html</a>).

After 35 years of employment, and many years of disagreement over research on air pollution and its implications for environmental regulations, Dr. James E. Enstrom, assisted by the <a href="http://aclj.org/" style=" -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.5em; list-style: none; color: rgb(64, 151, 203); background: transparent;">American Center for Law and Justice</a>,<a href="http://www.thefire.org/article/14576.html" style=" -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.5em; list-style: none; color: rgb(64, 151, 203); background: transparent;">filed a federal lawsuit</a> against various University of California and UCLA administrators in June 2012. Enstrom’s<a href="http://www.thefire.org/article/14575.html" style=" -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.5em; list-style: none; color: rgb(64, 151, 203); background: transparent;"> complaint</a>alleged that UCLA had refused to reappoint him after he engaged in successful whistleblowing against a member of the Department of Environmental Health Sciences.  

<span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Last week, a federal district court issued an encouraging ruling in Enstrom’s case. On March 18, United States District Judge Jesus G. Bernal signed an </span><a href="http://www.thefire.org/article/15586.html" style=" -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.5em; list-style: none; color: rgb(64, 151, 203); background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: transparent; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">order</a><span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> </span><span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">denying<b> some</b></span><span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> defendants’ motions to dismiss Enstrom’s First Amendment retaliation claims. [looks like all nearly all, dismissed just the bokkkeeping stuff left?] 14 days to refile? result?</span>

Specifically, Judge Bernal’s ruling denies motions to dismiss Enstrom’s First Amendment claims against former Vice Chancellor for Academic Personnel Thomas Rice and Vice Chancellor for Academic Personnel Carole Goldberg. The ruling further grants Enstrom leave to amend his complaint’s First Amendment claims against UC President Mark Yudof, UCLA Chancellor Gene D. Block, Dean of the UCLA School of Public Health Linda Rosenstock, and UCLA administrator Barbara Housel. (Department Chair Richard Jackson and former School of Public Health Associate Dean of Academic Affairs Hilary Godwin did not challenge Enstrom’s complaint, at least on the grounds that others did, which was that Enstrom had supposedly failed to plead specific facts to support his claims.) To sum this up, some of Enstrom’s First Amendment claims are going forward, and none of them are permanently off the table. 

Judge Bernal also found that Enstrom may have a due process right to an accounting of how UCLA spent the research and grant funds he brought into the university. Accordingly, the judge denied the motions by Jackson, Godwin, and Housel to dismiss Enstrom’s due process claim and granted him leave to amend his complaint with respect to this claim against other defendants. 

In other words, Enstrom’s case will proceed, having cleared an important early hurdle. As former FIRE President and current ACLJ senior counsel David French <a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/343714/good-day-academic-freedom-david-french" style=" -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.5em; list-style: none; color: rgb(64, 151, 203); background: transparent;">observed</a>, this is an important step toward vindicating Enstrom’s rights. 

<em style=" -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent;">Torch</em> readers will be familiar with Enstrom’s case, which we’ve been covering since 2010, when Enstrom came to FIRE for help. FIRE <a href="http://www.thefire.org/article/12208.html" style=" -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.5em; list-style: none; color: rgb(64, 151, 203); background: transparent;">wrote</a> UCLA Chancellor Gene D. Block on August 26, 2010, pointing out that it is unconstitutional to refuse to rehire a faculty member because of his protected expression. FIRE also assisted Enstrom with internal grievances at UCLA and ultimately helped him <a href="http://www.thefire.org/article/13530.html" style=" -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.5em; list-style: none; color: rgb(64, 151, 203); background: transparent;">win</a> two additional years at UCLA. 

Here’s the full story of Enstrom’s ordeal, as explained in the <a href="http://www.thefire.org/article/14576.html" style=" -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.5em; list-style: none; color: rgb(64, 151, 203); background: transparent;">press release</a> we issued after Enstrom filed suit last year: </p>

<p style=" -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.5em; font-family: 'Open sans light'; list-style: none; background: transparent;">Enstrom has worked at UCLA as a <a href="http://www.thefire.org/article/12323.html" style=" -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.5em; list-style: none; color: rgb(64, 151, 203); background: transparent;">researcher and professor</a> since 1976, being rehired consistently each year until his ordeal began. Beginning in 2004, he worked in UCLA’s Department of Environmental Health Sciences (EHS). Over the years, he and a few of his colleagues have sometimes disagreed strongly about research on environmental health issues—for example, on the extent of the threat to public health posed by certain air pollutants, a topic of Enstrom’s research which has been the subject of <a href="http://www.thefire.org/article/12209.html" style=" -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.5em; list-style: none; color: rgb(64, 151, 203); background: transparent;">intense debate</a> in California because of its implications for state environmental regulations.  

Enstrom also was a successful whistleblower whose activism led to fellow EHS faculty member John Froines being replaced on a panel for the California Air Resources Board (CARB). Several members of the panel, including Froines, had been serving beyond the three-year legal limit on their terms of office, and Enstrom’s whistleblowing provided part of the grounds for a June 2009 <a href="http://www.thefire.org/article/12210.html" style=" -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.5em; list-style: none; color: rgb(64, 151, 203); background: transparent;">lawsuit</a> on the issue. Enstrom also blew the whistle on a <a href="http://www.thefire.org/index.php/article/14563.html" style=" -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.5em; list-style: none; color: rgb(64, 151, 203); background: transparent;">fake Ph.D. degree</a> claimed by a CARB researcher.

UCLA’s retaliation against Enstrom first became apparent in December 2009, when Enstrom discovered that UCLA had cut off his salary fund and charged his salary against his research funds without his knowledge. In February 2010, Environmental Health Sciences Chair Richard J. Jackson told Enstrom that UCLA was <a href="http://www.thefire.org/article/12207.html" style=" -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.5em; list-style: none; color: rgb(64, 151, 203); background: transparent;">laying him off</a>. Enstrom fought back and kept his job. 

After UCLA’s first attempt failed, Enstrom learned of further retaliation in June 2010 when the EHS faculty (including Froines) voted not to rehire him because his "research is not aligned with the academic mission of the Department." UCLA also invoked vague and previously unmentioned "minimum requirements," even though his research output was similar to or greater than that of other professors in his department. Enstrom learned he was going to be "<a href="http://www.thefire.org/article/12213.html" style=" -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.5em; list-style: none; color: rgb(64, 151, 203); background: transparent;">indefinitely laid off</a>" effective June 30, 2010.  

Enstrom has demonstrated that his research on environmental health is fully aligned with EHS’ research <a href="http://www.thefire.org/article/12211.html" style=" -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.5em; list-style: none; color: rgb(64, 151, 203); background: transparent;">mission</a> of furthering "extremely interdisciplinary" research "at the interface between human health and the environment." </p>

<p class="description" style=" margin: 10px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit;"><span style=" font-weight: inherit;">For thirty years I have been involved in primary research on the causes of cancer and have published extensively on a wide range of environmental and lifestyle exposures thought to contribute to the risk of specific cancers. Knowledge derived from epidemiology holds tremendous potential for reducing the toll of cancer and other chronic diseases.

At the same time, there is considerable confusion about what factors actually have an important impact on health. Too often, hypothetical risks become the focus of attention in the media and regulatory agencies and get blown out of proportion, causing needless anxiety and distracting people from well-established and important factors that they can actually do something to modify.

We are faced with enormous societal issues regarding health, health care costs, energy, and the environment. But, all too often, certain aspects of these issues get focused on, and other crucial aspects get ignored. Examples of high-profile issues that are highly contested and on which the relevant information can be skewed are: the future of nuclear power (following the Fukushima incident in Japan), hydraulic fracturing to exploit natural gas deposits, and the health effects of extremely low-level exposures to chemicals such as bisphenol-A (BPA), phthalates, and various pesticides.

In a recent book and articles, I have attempted to demonstrate how crucial it is to put aside political ideology and to critically assess all of the relevant scientific evidence to arrive at a dispassionate assessment of what is firmly known on a specific topic and what uncertainties remain. Such assessment is essential to the process of formulating sound policy and putting specific issues in perspective.

I address current issues of health risks and risk perception in my regular Forbes column:

<div>The Real Motivation Behind Park And Beach Smoking Bans</div>

<div>

</div>

<div>

</div>

<div>Campaigns to restrict smoking in public places first emerged in the 1970s and have continued to expand apace over the past 3 decades.  Over this time period there has been a dramatic change in the landscape – many states and municipalities now have statutes prohibiting smoking in public buildings, bars and restaurants, schools, hospitals, and other venues.</div>

<div>

</div>

<div>These laws and statutes were largely justified by reference to the 1993 EPA report that classified secondhand tobacco smoke as a Class A (human) carcinogen.  Although that report stuck many scientists as putting activism above a careful reading of the evidence, there is no question that it achieved the intended aim of providing an official sanction – a founding text — for statutes protecting nonsmokers from the allegedly lethal effects of breathing other people’s tobacco smoke.....</div>

<font face="Times New Roman">And this from Proctor's book: "Federal Judge Kessler in her 2006 ruling in USA v. Philip Morris commented on the flawed nature of Enstrom's work, much of which was 'litigation oriented'; the court also noted that the cigarette makers had gone so far as to organize a scientific collaborator for the man- Geoffrey C.<b> Kabat,</b> a long-standing Wynder sidekick- who went on to coauthor further denialist papers with <b>Enstrom</b>.<span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">..Enstrom continues even today to defend his work against the medical mainstream, aided by a total of at least $1.4 million in research support from the tobacco racketeers along with an undisclosed sum from years of private consulting for their co-conspiring legal arms."</span>

In other words, in the federal racketeering case brought against American tobacco companies, the judge specifically mentioned Enstrom's work as evidence of Big Tobacco's attempts to corrupt science and undermine science in the minds of the general public. The tobacco companies were found guilty of said racketeering charges. The Supreme Court let this decision stand in 2010.</font></p>

<p>

<p class="title" id="page-title"><font face="Times New Roman">From Robert Proctor's new book, Golden Holocaust: <b><font color="#ff0000">"Enstrom </font>was attractive to the industry as a classic 'we need more research' skeptic.<span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"> </span></b><span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">From the 1970s into the 2000s he published a steady stream of articles challenging the significance of tobacco to health. The documents reveal a certain combative streak and sense of an uphill fight, as in 1997, when Enstrom requested $150,000 from Philp Morris's director of scientific affairs to explore the health effects of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS)</span>, insisting that a 'substantial research commitment' was required 'to effectively compete against the large mountain of epidemiologic data and opinions that already exist regarding the health effects of ETS and active smoking."

Enstrom is a mercenary scientist for Big Tobacco. "An honest scientist"? I don't think so, Mr. Kissel.</font>

<p class="title" id="page-title"><font face="Times New Roman">Dr. James E. Enstrom’s peer-reviewed research challenged California’s status quo by contending that exposure t<b>o fine particulate matter</b>, like diesel particles, does not kill. The majority of his colleagues believe the particles cause lung cancer and death, a popular belief that Enstrom said ignores evidence to the contrary.

Enstrom charged in 2008 that his colleagues exaggerated the adverse effects of particulate matter in order to justify expensive diesel fuel regulations to the California Air Resources Board (CARB). Enstrom testified in the same year to the state Senate that the lead contributor to the CARB report, Hien T. Tran, paid $1,000 for his Ph.D. from a fake university, and members of a CARB panel had exceeded their mandated three-year term limits by decades.

Shortly after Enstrom revealed the misconduct, UCLA began sending him notices of termination and has refused to compensate him for more than a year’s worth of work.

“The facts of this case are astounding,” said senior counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice. “UCLA terminated a professor after 35 years of service simply because he exposed the truth about an activist scientific agenda that was not only based in fraud, but violated California law.”

Tran was eventually suspended for 60 days, and one professor who had served on the CARB panel for 26 consecutive years was removed and later put back on the panel. John Froines, who has publicly supported diesel fuel regulations, was on a committee that voted to dismiss Enstrom.</font></p>

<font face="Times New Roman">James Enstrom, a non-tenured researcher in the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health, is due to finish work this month after over 35 years and a lengthy grievance procedure in which he challenged the university’s 2010 decision not to renew his appointment.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">On 13 June he filed a <a href="http://blogs.nature.com/news/files/2012/06/James-e-Enstrom-vs-the-regents-of-the-University-of-California.pdf" onclick="javascript:gaq.push(['trackEvent','download','http://blogs.nature.com/news/files/2012/06/James-e-Enstrom-vs-the-regents-of-the-University-of-California.pdf']);">lawsuit</a> against the university and its administrators claiming it was retaliation for his criticism of UCLA air pollution research and his whistle-blowing activities.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">He became an “aggressive and lone critic at UCLA of air pollution research” and spoke out against  “draconian” air quality regulations, which put him at odds with several senior faculty members and created embarrassing publicity for UCLA, claims the lawsuit. He also exposed wrongdoing on state air pollution boards which led to the removal of several members, it adds.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">The ultimate result was a retaliatory campaigning against him that caused “permanent damage” to his reputation and “effectively ended” his career, it says. “Defendants discriminated against Dr. Enstrom based on his ideological and political affiliations and sought to purge an academic dissenter from their ranks,” it adds.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">The university said in a <a href="http://newsroom.ucla.edu/portal/ucla/ucla-statement-regarding-environmental-235208.aspx" onclick="javascript:gaq.push(['trackEvent','outbound-article','http://newsroom.ucla.edu']);">statement</a> that it planned to “vigorously contest” the lawsuit in court and Enstrom had been given a “full and fair” grievance hearing consistent with procedures for non-tenured academics.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">“UCLA zealously protects the intellectual independence of members of our academic community and has long maintained that Enstrom’s political and scientific views and outside activities were not considered during his reappointment process,” the statement says.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">Partly for this reason, other investigations have also found little effect of second-hand smoke on lung cancer or heart disease.

<p class="title" id="page-title"><font face="Times New Roman">To cloud the issue further, the original data - from an American Cancer Society study that was set up in 1959 - were used in previous studies led by the tobacco industry. The current study also received industry money.</font></p>

<b>London (<span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">CNSNews.</span>com)</b> -<b> A study about to be published in this week's British Medical Journal indicates that second-hand smoke doesn't increase the risk of heart disease or lung cancer, but the publication and the study's authors have come under attack by anti-smoking groups.</b>

Two American researchers analyzed data from an American Cancer Society survey that followed more than 118,000 Californians from 1960 until 1998.

<b><span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">James E. Enstrom, of the University of California at Los Angeles and Geoffrey C. Kabat</span> of the State University of New York at Stony Brook</b> concluded that "the results do not support a causal relation between environmental tobacco smoke (second-hand smoke) and tobacco related mortality, although they do not rule out a small effect."

"The association between exposure to environmental tobacco smoke and coronary heart disease and lung cancer may be considerably weaker than generally believed," the researchers wrote.

The study was roundly condemned by anti-smoking groups including the American Cancer Society and even by the British Medical Journal's parent organization, the British Medical Association. They said the researchers received money from the tobacco industry, a statement that was confirmed by the journal Friday.

The American Cancer Society (ACS) pointed out what it called several flaws in the research. The researchers based their study on a small subset of the original data, the ACS said, and because of the greater prevalence of smokers in the 60s and 70s, "virtually everyone was exposed to environmental tobacco smoke."

Smoking opponents also pointed out in the original study, although the health of the subjects were monitored until 1998, no information on smoking habits was collected after 1972.

"We are appalled that the tobacco industry has succeeded in giving visibility to a study with so many problems," Michael J. Thun, ACS national vice president of epidemiology and surveillance research, said in a statement.

"The American Cancer Society welcomes thoughtful, independent peer review of our data. But this study is neither reliable nor independent," Thun said.

Other studies have indicated that inhaling second-hand smoke on a regular basis increases the risk of heart disease by about 30 percent. But as the researchers pointed out in their BMJ article, exposure to second-hand smoke is difficult to measure and such studies necessarily rely on self-reported data that may or may not be accurate.

Figures are skewed, researchers said, by former smokers who are wrongly classified.

"The relation between tobacco-related diseases and environmental tobacco smoke may be influenced by misclassification of some smokers as never smokers," the researchers wrote.

However, several British groups agreed with the ACS assessment of the study. The British Medical Association said that 1,000 people die every year in the U.K. as a result of passive smoking.

"There is overwhelming evidence, built up over decades, that passive smoking causes lung cancer and heart disease, as well as triggering asthma attacks," said Vivienne Nathanson, BMA's head of science and ethics. "In children, passive smoking increases the risk of pneumonia, bronchitis, and reduces lung growth, as well as both causing and worsening asthma."

A spokesman for Action on Smoking and Health said: <span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">"We are utterly surprised as to why the BMJ has published this. It's nothing but a lobbying tool."</span>

"This is just one study," the spokesman said. "It will do nothing to change the massive body of evidence that has built up over the years."

The journal stood by its decision to publish research but editors turned down interview requests Friday. A spokeswoman said decisions on publication were made only after "careful consideration and peer review."

The study, which was available online and will be published in the BMJ on Saturday, was partially funded by money from the tobacco industry, the spokeswoman said, but could not provide further details.

Groups campaigning against further tobacco regulations in Britain welcomed the research. Smokers' lobby group FOREST said the "jury is still out" on the effects of second-hand smoke.

"This is typical of the anti-smoking lobby's bullying tactics," said FOREST director Simon Clark. "They attack not just the authors but the messenger ... the BMJ is one of the most respected journals in the world."

Attacks on the study in the U.K. have been led by proponents of a total ban on smoking in public places like pubs, clubs and restaurants, a position that Clark said was undermined by the study.

"People who want to ban smoking in public places use passive smoking as their number one argument," he said. "That's why this study is so significant."</font></div>

<h2 class="title"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Whistleblowing Scientist Who Challenged Environmental Regulation Sues UCLA</font></h2>

<p><font face="Times New Roman">LOS ANGELES, June 14, 2012—After 35 years at the University of California, Los Angeles, Dr. James E. Enstrom is suing UCLA to keep his job. Following many years of disagreement over research on air pollution and its implications for environmental regulations, UCLA finally refused to reappoint Enstrom after he engaged in successful whistleblowing against a member of the department. When UCLA told Enstrom he was being let go because his research failed to accord with the department's "mission," Enstrom turned to the <b>Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE)</b> for help. </font>

<font face="Times New Roman">"FIRE has been helping Dr. Enstrom to keep his job for two years now, but enough is enough," said FIRE President Greg Lukianoff. "While a lawsuit should never have been necessary, we're grateful that the American Center for Law and Justice and former FIRE<b> President David French </b>have filed suit on Dr. Enstrom's behalf, and we hope that justice will finally be served."</font>

<font face="Times New Roman"><span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Enstrom has worked at UCLA as a <a href="http://thefire.org/article/12323.html"><strong>researcher and professor</strong></a> since 1976, being rehired consistently each year until his ordeal began. Beginning in 2004, he worked in UCLA's Department of Environmental Health Sciences (EHS).</span> Over the years, he and a few of his colleagues have sometimes disagreed strongly about research on environmental health issues—for example, on the extent of the threat to public health posed by certain air pollutants, a topic of Enstrom's research which has been the subject of <a href="http://www.thefire.org/article/12209.html"><strong>intense debate</strong></a> in California because of its implications for state environmental regulations. </font></p>

<p>

<font face="Times New Roman">Enstrom also was a successful whistleblower whose activism led to fellow EHS faculty member John Froines being replaced on a panel for the California Air Resources Board (CARB). Several members of the panel, including Froines, had been serving beyond the three-year legal limit on their terms of office, and Enstrom's whistleblowing provided part of the grounds for a June 2009 <a href="http://www.thefire.org/article/12210.html"><strong>lawsuit</strong></a> on the issue. Enstrom also blew the whistle on a <a href="http://thefire.org/index.php/article/14563.html"><strong>fake Ph.D. degree</strong></a> claimed by a CARB researcher.</font></p>

<p>

<font face="Times New Roman">UCLA's retaliation against Enstrom first became apparent in December 2009, when Enstrom discovered that UCLA had cut off his salary fund and charged his salary against his research funds without his knowledge.<span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"> In February 2010, Environmental Health Sciences Chair Richard J. Jackson told Enstrom that UCLA was <a href="http://www.thefire.org/article/12207.html"><strong>laying him off</strong></a>. Enstrom fought back and kept his job. </span></font></p>

<p>

<font face="Times New Roman"><span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">After UCLA's first attempt failed, Enstrom learned of further retaliation in June 2010 when the EHS faculty (including Froines) voted not to rehire him because his "research is not aligned with the academic mission of the Department." </span>UCLA also invoked vague and previously unmentioned "minimum requirements," even though his research output was similar to or greater than that of other professors in his department. Enstrom learned he was going to be "<a href="http://www.thefire.org/article/12213.html"><strong>indefinitely laid off</strong></a>" effective June 30, 2010. </font>

<font face="Times New Roman">Enstrom has demonstrated that his research on environmental health is fully aligned with EHS' research <a href="http://www.thefire.org/article/12211.html"><strong>mission</strong></a> of furthering "extremely interdisciplinary" research "at the interface between human health and the environment." </font>

<font face="Times New Roman"><b>Enstrom came to FIRE for help</b>. FIRE <a href="http://www.thefire.org/article/12208.html"><strong>wrote</strong></a> UCLA Chancellor Gene D. Block on August 26, 2010, pointing out that it is unconstitutional to refuse to rehire a faculty member because of his protected expression. FIRE assisted Enstrom with internal grievances at UCLA and ultimately helped him <a href="http://thefire.org/article/13530.html"><strong>win</strong></a> two additional years at UCLA. Reason.tv also produced a <a href="http://thefire.org/article/13013.html"><strong>video</strong></a> about the case.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">Enstrom's situation has received <a href="http://thefire.org/case/838"><strong>national attention</strong></a> as well as <a href="http://thefire.org/article/13019.html"><strong>statements of concern</strong></a> from state legislators. The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) also took up Enstrom's case and is representing Enstrom in a <a href="http://thefire.org/article/14575.html"><strong>lawsuit</strong></a> filed late yesterday in Los Angeles federal court against UCLA officials and the University of California Regents. Enstrom is seeking a declaration that UCLA violated Enstrom's free speech and due process rights, as well as an injunction requiring UCLA to rehire him.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">"Because of Enstrom's research and his whistleblowing against prominent advocates of environmental regulation in California, UCLA seemingly has decided to silence him any way it can," said FIRE Vice President of Programs Adam Kissel. "If there is anywhere we need honest scientists who aren't on a mission to exclude whistleblowers and skeptics, it is the American university."</font>

<h4 class="date"><font face="Times New Roman">October 1, 2010</font></h4>

<p><font face="Times New Roman">by <a href="http://thefire.org/people/3976.html">Adam Kissel</a></font></p>

<p>

<font face="Times New Roman">University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Chancellor Gene D. Block has <a href="http://www.thefire.org/article/12304.html" title="responded">responded</a> to FIRE's August 26, 2010, <a href="http://www.thefire.org/article/12208.html" title="letter">letter</a> in the matter of Associate Resident Professor James Enstrom. All signs are that UCLA retaliated against Dr. Enstrom's activism and research in the area of environmental health. Our letter explained that the faculty members in his department voted against his reappointment on nebulous grounds--that his research on environmental health "is not aligned with the academic mission of the Department, and that [his] research output and other contributions do not meet the [Environmental Health Sciences] department minimums." According to Enstrom, however, no minimum requirements had ever been communicated to him, and any reasonable person could infer that his research on environmental health<font size="3">—</font>for example, on the extent of the threat to public health posed by certain air pollutants<font size="3">—</font>has everything to do with the work of an environmental health sciences department.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">The circumstances of Enstrom's non-reappointment are suspicious for additional reasons. One of the faculty members in Enstrom's department had lost his position on the Scientific Review Panel (SRP) on Toxic Air Contaminants for the California Air Resources Board (CARB) due to Enstrom's activism. Enstrom had demonstrated that several SRP members had never been properly reappointed following the applicable rules. According to a lawsuit filed by the Pacific Legal Foundation in June 2009, the SRP members had been serving beyond the three-year legal limit on their terms of office without being properly re-nominated. Many of them subsequently were replaced.

Furthermore, over the years, Enstrom and a few of his colleagues in the School of Public Health have sometimes disagreed strongly about research on environmental health issues, such as the actual danger of diesel emissions. Enstrom's peer-reviewed research is one of the things at the center of the debate in California over <a href="http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/64583" title="regulation of diesel emissions">regulation of diesel emissions</a><font size="3">—</font>we're not talking about a petty department squabble.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">In addition, while some faculty members in Environmental Health Sciences might not have had strong personal or political reasons for voting against Enstrom, it seems that the faculty members were never given a chance to properly assess Enstrom's reappointment dossier. Soon, I plan to publish documents here on <em>The Torch </em>relating to Enstrom's non-reappointment grievance that show the various ways that the faculty apparently were prevented from having access to Enstrom's full dossier, but that is a topic for another post.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">Here, I am examining the strange claim in Chancellor Block's letter that "Dr. Enstrom is not a professor at UCLA, and is not a member of our faculty." According to Enstrom, he has continuously held a non-tenured faculty position in the School of Public Health since 1976. Take a look at these documents:</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">1. An <a href="http://www.thefire.org/article/12320.html" title="e-mail">e-mail</a> from UCLA Dean Linda Rosenstock to "Assoc Resident Professor" James E. Enstrom on April 1, 2004. In the e-mail, Rosenstock calls Enstrom "a faculty member in good standing" and refers to his appointment as a "faculty appointment." I think it's safe to presume that "Assoc Resident Professor" means "Associate Resident Professor."</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">2. The 1998-99 UCLA <a href="http://www.thefire.org/article/12321.html" title="directory listing">directory listing</a> which identifies Enstrom as "Assoc Res Prof."

The 2002-03 University of California <a href="http://www.thefire.org/article/12321.html" title="directory listing">directory listing</a> which identifies Enstrom as "Assoc Res Prof."

The 2005 and 2006 <a href="http://www.thefire.org/article/12322.html" title="faculty/staff directories">faculty/staff directories</a> in Enstrom's department, where he is listed as a "Researcher" in the Faculty section. (Specific titles are not given.)

The July 1, 2010, <a href="http://www.thefire.org/article/12321.html" title="electronic directory listing">electronic directory listing</a> which identifies Enstrom as "Assoc Res Prof."</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">When I worked for the University of Chicago Directory, you bet we verified the exact status of every single member of every department, year after year, with the relevant departments. UCLA has a lot of explaining to do, because these documents make it look like Chancellor Block's letter is based on a flat-out lie. Who has fed Chancellor Block the apparently false information about Enstrom's status? Or is all of this just a huge misunderstanding?</font>

<em><font face="Times New Roman">November 2004</font></em>

<font face="Times New Roman">The tobacco industry has a long history of trying to cast doubt on the science of secondhand smoke. In its latest attempt, the industry has funded a new study, published in the<em>British Medical Journal</em>. The study, written by researchers funded by the tobacco industry, misrepresented data from the American Cancer Society (ACS), and used flawed methodology to come to the inaccurate conclusion that secondhand smoke does not cause an increased risk for lung cancer and heart disease. Don’t be fooled by Big Tobacco. Secondhand smoke kills.</font>

<strong><em><font face="Times New Roman">“The study is fundamentally flawed.”</font></em></strong>

<strong><em><font face="Times New Roman">–British Medical Association<sup style=" line-height: 11.683533668518066px;">1</sup></font></em></strong>

<font face="Times New Roman">The <em>British Medical Journal</em> published a study in its May 2003 issue entitled, “Environmental tobacco smoke and tobacco related mortality in a prospective study of Californians, 1960-1998,” which was authored by<b> Dr. James E. Enstrom and Dr. Geoffrey C. Kabat</b>. The study claimed that no causal relationship was found between secondhand smoke and tobacco-related mortality, after analyzing data from 35,351 adults over a period of thirty-eight years. As one might expect, the study generated an enormous amount of media attention. Speculation abounded that the unanimous conclusion of public health officials and medical practitioners, that secondhand smoke is hazardous to health, had been premature. Big Tobacco and its allies hailed the study as proof that the adverse health effects of secondhand smoke are greatly exaggerated. Under closer scrutiny, the inevitable was found to be true: the Enstrom and Kabat secondhand smoke study was largely funded by tobacco industry dollars, conducted by industry allies, and riddled with methodological errors.</font>

<strong><font face="Times New Roman"><span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Although the Enstrom and Kabat secondhand smoke study has now largely been discredited, the tobacco industry and its allies attempt to use the study to cast doubt upon the science of secondhand smoke</span><span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">. This document provides some basic information regarding the study, its funding, and its authors, and should help to counter any attempts to use the study to undermine the established body of research confirming the health hazards of secondhand smoke.</span></font></strong></p>

We could not judge the merits of your criticisms because your own data and methods were so inadequately described. I should add that your article contains pejorative comments that should have no place in responsible scientific discourse.”</font></strong>

<strong><em><font face="Times New Roman">—Letter from the Journal of the American Medical Association to James E. Enstrom<sup style=" line-height: 11.683533668518066px;">2</sup></font></em></strong>

<strong><font face="Times New Roman">The data and design of the Enstrom and Kabat secondhand smoke study has been widely criticized. Even the British Medical Association, the publisher of the journal that printed the study, described the research as being “fundamentally flawed.”<sup style=" line-height: 11.683533668518066px;">3</sup> The misuse of data and flawed methodology are two very significant faults in the study.</font></strong>

<strong><font face="Times New Roman">Enstrom and Kabat did not gather original data for their study. Instead, it drew on data from the ACS’s Cancer Prevention Study (CPS-I), and used only a small subset (approximately 10%) of the total CPS-I data. Researchers at ACS repeatedly warned Enstrom that the data from CPS-I could not be used to determine the health effects of secondhand smoke, and they spoke out against the study upon its release, stating that their data had been misused.<sup style=" line-height: 11.683533668518066px;">4</sup></font></strong>

<strong><font face="Times New Roman">The study used cohort methodology to look at the rate of mortality from heart disease and lung cancer in nonsmokers who were married to smokers, covering a time period from 1959 to 1998. A severe error in the study was the failure to establish a control group of nonsmokers who were unexposed to secondhand smoke. Other critical methodological flaws include not measuring for secondhand smoke exposure from any source other than the spouse, including workplace (where smoking was extremely prevalent at the time); not taking into account either spouse’s smoking status after 1972, though the study continued for 26 more years; and classifying the nonsmoking spouse as still exposed to secondhand smoke in that 26 year period, during which time the “smoking spouse” could have quit smoking or died, not to mention that they could have divorced or separated.</font></strong>

<strong><font face="Times New Roman">THE FUNDING</font></strong>

<strong><em><font face="Times New Roman"><font color="#ff0000">“A substantial research commitment on your part is necessary in order for me to effectively compete against the large mountain of epidemiologic data and opinions that already exist regarding the health effects of ETS and active smokin</font>g.”</font></em></strong>
