Source required for 2 Nobel Prize Laureates

Latest comment: 1 month ago1 comment1 person in discussion

John Harsanyi was not employed at UQ at the time he was awarded the nobel prize, and the prize was not awarded for research done at UQ. In fact, as far as I can tell, the work done at UQ was completely unrelated to subsequent research undertaken in the US for various institutions. He was never a student at UQ, his only connection with the university are two and a half years he spent as as a Lecturer (according to source No. 7) following his graduation in Sydney.

This seems to be an abusive use of nobel prize affiliation to increase the reputation of the establishment. Whats more it seems to have been added all the way back in 2009 by an anonymous user who ONLY edited the University of Queensland page, and therefore is at high risk of being a member of faculty or a student who would have personal gain from increasing the institution's prestige.
