[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my role I am expected to get an ethics opinion before I propose courses of action.  In our ethics office the staff is easy to deal with but the supervisor is difficult.  Yesterday I got a favorable ethics opinion and then made my proposal to leadership.  This morning the ethics supervisor came back from vacation to object to my proposal.

I have not gotten any reason for the objection or even the courtesy of a meeting to discuss the issue.  This leaves me with some egg on my face or as my proposal has to be stayed until this can be cleared up.

If this goes the way I think it will the supervisor will gin up a meaningless concern that will require a superfluous change to my memo (eg “all environmental laws must be followed”)

What should I do about this.

I think nothing? You followed protocol, you got an opinion, I assume in writing, and presented it to your bosses. I assume you presented confirmation of ethics approval. So now if the ethics supervisor wants to raise a stink with yours, that's between them. If anyone would be in "trouble" here it would be the ethics designee who approved your proposal without any notes. I don't think you have egg on your face at all, and if your bosses are reasonable, they know this guy is just the type to come in and want to leave his mark on everything by adding some superfluous nonsense.
