First of all, while I deplore the concept of eugenics, I had misgivings about this decision. My reasoning was expressed by a previous commenter; we are essentially judging someone born in the 19<sup>th</sup> century by 21<sup>st</sup> century ethical standards. This is a tough bar for anyone to pass! However, a decision has now been made, and I encourage my fellow ASA members to support it, as I do, in the interests of "moving forward to form a more just, equitable, diverse, and inclusive society," in the words of Ron Wasserstein.</p> <p>While supporting this decision, it should be obvious to all of us that there will be more decisions of a similar nature to be made in the future. As I look around the country, and even the world, there are numerous statues and monuments being torn down, as well as buildings and awards being renamed. As an aside, it is a bit shocking that it took this long to tear down confederate monuments, but that is not my point today. Rather, my point is that from my perspective, many of these decisions have been made as "one-offs," in an isolated manner, often driven by emotion or the latest news headlines.</p> <p>As a professional society that prides itself on objectivity, I would think that we, the ASA, should be guided in such decisions by sound ethical principles, which could be documented, debated, and modified over time. In fact, we do have ethical guidelines for statistical practice, but I don't think they answer the question of ex post facto guilt. For example, article 11, paragraph 2 of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Declaration_of_Human_Rights" title="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Declaration_of_Human_Rights" target="_blank">Universal Declaration of Human Rights</a> provides that "no person be held guilty of any criminal law that did not exist at the time of offence, nor suffer any penalty heavier than what existed at the time of offence." Of course, we are not talking about criminal law here, but I think the ex post facto principle is still relevant.</p> <p>In short, while supporting the current decision on renaming the R.A. Fisher Award, I am calling on ASA leadership to consider documentation of principles to be used to guide future decisions on renaming of awards, lectures, buildings, or statistics departments. These should be shared with the membership for input and debate, of course, and modified over time as necessary. I would be happy to help in any way that I could.</p> <p>Sincerely, Roger</p><br><br>------------------------------<br>Roger W.
