Joint Statement of Dr. David Healy, The Centre for Addiction and Mental
Health and the University of Toronto
April 2002 -- Dr. David Healy, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health,
and the University of Toronto are pleased to announce the settlement of
all litigation and other outstanding disputes.
Although Dr. Healy believes that his clinical appointment was rescinded
because of his November 30, 2000 speech at CAMH, Dr. Healy accepts assurances
that pharmaceutical companies played no role in either CAMHÌs decision
to rescind his clinical appointment or the University of TorontoÌs
decision to rescind his academic appointment following upon the rescission
of his clinical appointment.
Dr. Healy intends to continue to write and speak on issues concerning
pharmaceutical companies, research and academic freedom.
The University of Toronto underscores its support for the free expression
of critical views and acknowledges Dr. HealyÌs scholarship by confirming
that it will be appointing him as a Visiting Professor in the Faculty
of Medicine. For the next three academic years it is expected that Dr.
Healy will visit the University for a period of one week per year to interact
with a range of students, trainees, and faculty and carry forward his
collaborative activities with colleagues in Toronto.
