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 on the 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.
Comments may be sent to the Policy Coordination Office at pco@ucsc.edu by the close of business on March 05, 2025.
