Harvard University Fined For Animal Research Abuses

[From article]
an email statement from a spokesperson from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals: “For an institution that receives $185 million annually in taxpayer funds alone, half of which is spent on animal experiments, a $24,000 fine for years of abusing and neglecting monkeys won’t motivate Harvard to do better by animals.
[. . .]
Harvard Medical School also released a statement saying the federal fine was appropriate. “The leadership of the school cares deeply about upholding exemplary standards of care,” it said.

At least animals used for experiments get some scrutiny. Harvard's use of human subjects without consent often get no scrutiny at all. The university did not comment on what their standards are for using human subjects without consent.
