Indemnity Disclosure

Indemnity disclosure

The Per Diem rates and the service charges of the DAR do not include provisions to collect funds into a pool to pay indemnities in the case of DAR error, natural disaster, technological malfunction, unforeseen/unpayable expenses, or other events or conditions that may confound or ruin experiments, adversely affect budgets, or result in animal distress or mortality. This is a long-standing policy of the DAR dating to approximately 1998 and enacted and perpetuated with the knowledge and consent of the Dean's Office of the School of Medicine.

Given that the DAR has neither the funds nor the authority to pay indemnities whether culpable or not, appeals for financial restitution must thereby be made by the aggrieved party to the Executive Associate Dean for Research for the School of Medicine by submitting this request
