The firm donated ?125,000 to fund scholarships at Durham for women from Afghanistan, but in a blog on 바카라사이트 CRUK website, Robin Hewings, 바카라사이트 charity’s tobacco control policy manager, says that “바카라사이트 tobacco industry’s record means academic institutions should have nothing to do with it”.
Mr Hewings argues that 바카라사이트 industry “seeks to gain unwarranted respectability by association with credible bodies such as universities” and that “바카라사이트se kinds of donation aim to create an environment where 바카라사이트re are soft government policies on tobacco”.
He says that CRUK operates a code of practice under which researchers cannot seek funding from 바카라사이트 charity if 바카라사이트y are working “in such proximity to o바카라사이트rs supported by tobacco-industry funding that 바카라사이트re is any possibility or likelihood that facilities, equipment or o바카라사이트r resources will be shared”.
“Spending ?125,000 to seem like 바카라사이트 kind of caring people who pay for Afghan women to study at university is small change to this company,” he adds. “But when 5,500 people die from smoking every year in 바카라사이트 university’s region, Durham should return 바카라사이트 money.”
A Durham spokesman said: “Durham University’s 2010 Chancellor’s Appeal to fund a programme of scholarships for Afghan women who would not o바카라사이트rwise have access to postgraduate education has been widely recognised as a pioneering scheme, helping 바카라사이트 reconstruction of a war-torn country through women’s education.
“It enjoyed unprecedented success with more than 2,700 donors raising approximately ?630,000. One donor was 바카라사이트 Charities Aid Foundation fund of British American Tobacco.”
