An ecologist at the University of California, Berkeley, Ignacio Chapela, known for his outspoken criticism of genetically modified crops and of the university's links with the biotech industry, has been denied tenure. University administrators argue that Chapela's publishing record in the seven years since he arrived at Berkeley is too weak to justify tenure.
