1) If FAU wants truly to be a place of academic integrity then it must support a vetting process of Scripps with its students, faculty, staff, and the surrounding community. We have a right to know exactly what is happening on our campus.
2) We want FAU to host a series of publicized debates on animal experimentation, biotechnology, and the ethical history of the Scripps corporation. We welcome a lively debate which can explore all sides of the issues.
3) We want an oversight and ethical board comprised of FAU students chosen from and by the FAU student body, to carry out routine inspections of Scripps research facilities and to have access to information and oversight rights to potential research projects including animal vivisection.

1) Scripps is not on your campus. It is on its own land. The land no longer belongs to the state or to FAU.
ReplyDelete2) Scripps is not a corporation, but a non-profit educational institute, like FAU.
3) The students of FAU do not have oversight rights to the animal research being conducted on their own campus in Boca Raton. Why would the administration of FAU put on a series of public events to criticize and condemn their own research practices, which are shared by the vast majority of the scientific and medical communities.
