2 Are Admonished On C.I.A. Project
Two Rutgers University professors were admonished yesterday by school officials who said they had failed to adhere to university guidelines while doing a research project for the Central Intelligence Agency and should have better informed a class in American foreign policy that its term papers would be part of the research.
A statement by Dean Tilden G. Edelstein, the head of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, suggested that the professors, Richard W. Mansbach and Harvey Lee Waterman of the political science department at the university's New Brunswick campus, had ''acted inappropriately.''
''Research contracted by a Federal agency must be endorsed by the Rutgers Office of Sponsored Programs and administered by the university's Research Contracts Fiscal Office,'' Dean Edelstein said. ''The Mansbach-Waterman project was not so endorsed or administered.''
