The article isn&#x27;t really clear, but the alleged activities were attributed to SEI, which is not at all the same thing as CMU, although they are obviously related.<p>reporting: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.post-gazette.com&#x2F;business&#x2F;technology&#x2F;2014&#x2F;07&#x2F;31&#x2F;2-CMU-experts-said-to-unmask-surfing-software&#x2F;stories&#x2F;201407310210" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.post-gazette.com&#x2F;business&#x2F;technology&#x2F;2014&#x2F;07&#x2F;31&#x2F;2...</a><p>About SEI: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sei.cmu.edu&#x2F;about&#x2F;organization&#x2F;workingwithanFFRDC.cfm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sei.cmu.edu&#x2F;about&#x2F;organization&#x2F;workingwithanFFRDC...</a><p>Lots of room for discussion about these activities but it probably should be done in the context of expectations for a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (and one funded by the Department of Defense) and not in the context of expectations for a private university.
