I assume this is Don Ian MacDonald's employment contract with Straight, Inc., yes? This also comes from Wes Fager's webpage titled '
Straight and Medical Research'. Fwiw, interestingly enough, linked copy of this document does
not display Dr. MacDonald's signature, only that of James Hartz.
-------------- • -------------- • --------------
Because Straight, Inc. has found it beneficial to be involved in Medical Research, we mutually agree to the following responsibilities for the position of Director of Medical Research:
1) Through the Director of Medical Research, Straight has the opportunity to provide much information about juvenile drug users and the effects of drugs on them. The Director of Medical Research will seek investigators and projects which are worthwhile and practical. Publishing the results will not only benefit the medical and lay community but will enhance the reputation of Straight.
2) The Director of Medical Research will provide a list of individuals and organizations with whom he has contact due to his speaking engagements.
3) The Director of Medical Research will aggressively seek to establish a positive rapport between organizations like PRIDE, NFP, ETC. AND Straight, Inc.
4) The Director of Medical Research will act as a friend and consultant to Straight, Inc. and assist where asked to do so.
5) Either Straight, Inc. or the the Director of Medical Research may terminate the agreement for services if it is felt by the Executive Director that the Director of Medical Research is not fulfilling his responsibilities or is no longer necessary for the functioning of the program. Likewise, the Director of Medical Research may terminate the agreement if he feels it is no longer in his best interest to be involved with the program.
