Maybe I’m wrong but they seem to have chosen to allow the study to be published saying the data was worth breaking ethic rules so I’d say neutered is far too reserved.
Edit: Might be wrong. See below. Seems weird that a university can’t restrict its own studies. If anyone can add to the info below I’d love to hear it. (Thanks for the added info !)
We recently received a response from the Chair UZH Faculty of Arts and Sciences Ethics Commission which:
Informed us that the University of Zurich takes these issues very seriously.
Clarified that the commission does not have legal authority to compel non-publication of research.
I don’t think they can prevent publication, at least they are saying they can’t

I’ll make an edit. Thank you.
