A sad cartoon about a person being destitute because they suggested research on their own institution.

Friday afternoon’s funny – Research into your practice shouldn’t be a road to ruin

This week’s item is more sad than funny.  It is an unfortunate truth that as consultants we experience too often that institutions have continued for a while with poor practice, resisted research and resisted change.  It is also unfortunately true that often someone within the institution has advocated for change and senior management will only consider making that change if an external consultant says exactly the same thing to them.  We are aware that us making this observation probably undercuts our own income stream but institutions should definitely collect and analyse data and comments about their own practice and be welcoming of internal suggestions for change.

(US) Members Of University Research Committee Jointly File Lawsuit Against University Of Washington – Seattle Medium (February 2022)

For those of us in the rest of the world, we might look at this story as an example of how litigious the US is, but it can also be seen as the desperate measures an animal ethics committee sometimes have to take to get their host institution to live up to its responsibilities.  Animal welfare, good housing/handling and training aren’t cheap, but they are “the cost” of doing animal work the right way.

(US) Lawsuit Alleges USDA Secretly Relaxed Animal Welfare Inspections – The Scientist (Dan Robitzski | April 2022)

If this story and the lawsuit it reports are accurate, this points to a serious undermining of animal housing oversight and monitoring of animal housing facilities in the United States.  Any change in monitoring and outsourcing to the private sector is unlikely to instil public confidence.
