- Students who are concerned about the use of animals in teaching have
the responsibilities to contact the instructor, prior to course enrollment,
to determine whether animals are to be used in the course, whether class
exercises involving animals are optional or required and what alternatives,
if any, are available. If no alternatives are available, the refusal to
participate in required activities involving animals may result in a failing
grade in the course. Departments including courses where animals are used
must actively inform students of such courses including, but not limited to,
notices in the Catalog.
- The University of Maryland, College Park campus, affirms the right of
the faculty to determine course content and curriculum requirements. The
University, however, also encourages faculty to consider offering
alternatives to the use of animals in their courses. In each course the
instructor determines whether the use of animals in classroom exercises
will be a course requirement or optional activity. The following departments
have courses that may require animals to be used in class activities: Animal
Sciences, Microbiology, Poultry Science, Psychology, Veterinary Medicine,
Zoology, and courses with the NFSC prefix.
