Serial unethical behavior: Lawsuits

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Jonas Lang. I have been the victim of unethical behavior in academia over several years and I am trying to do something about it. However, I have been the target of intense whistleblower retaliation and a general failure of ethical oversight. I lost two tenured faculty positions and I am running out of financial resources... I am not the only victim and sadly one of the victim includes my daughter who first was wrongly diagnosed with ADHD to cover up misbehavior of my ex-wife and then disappeared through unethical actions of her employer RWTH Aachen University hospital. She is now a teenager and I only include a picture from when she was small - also how I remember her most.

I think that this series of cases around the behavior of Ute Hülsheger, Eva Derous, Johnny Fontaine, and my ex-wife Jessica Lang/Ippolito shows wider problems with free speech and unethical behavior in academia. Ultimately, science is only effective when the truth comes out. Read an abstract of my story below and read the full story and examine the evidence by clicking on the links.

ABSTRACT:
Science Eroded: Ethical Oversight Failures, Merit Exception Policies, Respect Policies, and Whistleblower Retaliation in Management/Applied Psychology Academia

The goal of this paper was to understand why research misconduct is rarely sanctioned on the basis of narrative ethnographic accounts. Narrative 1 focuses on a serial ethical transgressor (SET), Professor and section head Ute Hülsheger-Brülls who repeatedly manipulated authorship credits, misrepresented data to support her theoretical stance, concealed conflicts of interest with a commercial mindfulness app, and also exploited a mediation process for career advancement. Narrative 2 focuses on two SETs, Professors Eva Derous and professor and department head Johnny Fontaine, who used systematic abuse of power and manipulation tactics including filing unjustified complaints to gain resources and control over other researchers. Narrative 3 focuses on a SET, Prof. Jessica Lang/Ippolito, who demanded full control over children, used this control to demand academic work for her career, and also used her position to misdiagnose her daughter with ADHD to win back custody. In all three narratives, formal or informal exception policies (diversity/inclusion/safety/equity/belonging) based on being a minority or a minority advocate as well as vague general moral principles demanding different types of respect (civility/ professionalism/dignity/sustainability/responsibility/harassment avoidance/psychosocial risk avoidance/privacy) existed and were used to retaliate by reversing victim and offender. In contrast, well-supported fact-based complaints and attempts to comment were unsuccessful. The author suffered whistleblowing retaliation including organizational exclusion, legal threats, multiple disciplinary and criminal investigations, two arrests by police, criminal charges, a short jail time, attack and injury by security personnel, removal of membership and fellowship status from professional societies, and dismissal from two faculty positions.
