Employee Comment: Presidential Policy on The Use of Animals in Research, Teaching, and Testing
The University of California Office of the President invites comments on a proposed Presidential Policy on the Use of Animals in Research, Teaching, and Testing. The proposed policy would update and replace UC's current policy, “Use of Animals in Research and Teaching”.
The revised policy:
- Reiterates UC's commitment to the responsible, humane use and care of animals in research and teaching.
- Updates the list of currently applicable laws and regulations.
- Aligns legal and UC systemwide requirements with campus practices.
- Includes considerations for wildlife and agricultural animals in research and teaching.
The proposed revisions are posted here: https://ucanr.edu/sites/PCPA/Revisions/.
If you have any questions or if you wish to comment on this policy revision, please contact Robin Sanchez at rgsanchez@ucanr.edu, no later than March 3, 2025. Please indicate “Use of Animals Policy” in the subject line.
