Barr regards her year at NSF as “a very rewarding experience.” She has written to Congress & to NSF Director France Córdova asking them to examine what she labels an “Orwellian process” for vetting rotators like herself. Barr feels the policy doesn’t do enough to protect innocent people like herself. Without access to evidence that OPM used to make its case against her, “all I have been able to do is repeatedly assert I told the truth .She is thankful Union College welcomed her back with open arms & resume her teaching and research activities. She “We volunteer to do this,” she wrote Cordova on 29 August. Until a better process is put in place, Barr says, “NSF runs the risk that many highly qualified scientists will not even consider serving as IPAs. That will be a tremendous loss.””
