Reporting Animal Concerns: WFU personnel are strongly encouraged to report any concerns about the misuse of animals at the school. Concerns should be raised first with your supervisor and/or the principal investigator of the research project. If the issues are not resolved to your satisfaction, you may also leave a message on the WFU ACUC Animal Concern Line. Anonymous messages are welcome, and all concerns are investigated.
