BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The University at Buffalo has closed
its new shale gas research institute, which was under investigation by
the State University Board of Trustees after a group of professors
accused it of having undisclosed ties to industry.
Environmental
groups have been critical of the institute since May, when it released
its first report. The report concluded that state regulators in
Pennsylvania have improved oversight of the gas drilling industry and

assessment of the institute.
