To report suspected animal welfare issues:

The MU-Indy IACUC investigates all concerns regarding the care, treatment, and use of animals for teaching and/or research at the university. Reporting concerns can be accomplished through using the IACUC e-mail (iacuc@marian.edu) or by contacting IACUC Chair, the Attending Veterinarian or Institutional Official (IO) or by filing an anonymous tip at integrareport.com (link). The IACUC is cognizant of the rights of whistleblowers under federal law, which prohibits discrimination against or reprisal for reporting violations of regulations or standards. Marian University will not tolerate retaliation against whistleblowers for reporting potential misconduct or concerns. Marian University will keep details of investigations confidential to the maximum extent possible, consistent with resolution of the issue and in compliance with applicable laws.
