If a private university only accepts students who will practice animal free testing, is there a problem with that?

Asked by flo (13313points) June 22nd, 2018

I mean it’s a private school, and whoever doesn’t like it wouldn’t apply there. So who can complain about that?

Students don’t practice “animal free testing” by themselves.

What is your real question??

This question needs to be de-encoded into explaining what it’s talking about before it could receive any meaningful answer. Are we supposed to know the context this is referring to?

I don’t follow what you mean, and it seems fairly pointless to guess.

@flo Are you asking if it’s okay for a private university to only accept students who pledge to practice animal-free testing after they graduate (and perhaps threatens to revoke the degrees of those who violate their pledge)?

If the school only practices animal-free testing, then what do the students care (unless they really want to do it)?

Maybe she’s asking,
If you willingly apply for a school that only does animal free testing (and you are fully aware, but still apply) do you have the right to not agree with it and/or change it?
I’m only getting that from the details “whoever wouldn’t like it wouldn’t apply, so who can complain”

@All,
I didn’t get a notification, Activity For You” for this OP, also, it wasn’t under my “Questions You’re Following”, that’s why the delay in responding.

@Zaku I’m surprised you didn’t ask specific a question.
@SavoirFaire I wasn’t even going to if they would revoke the degree part. I just was thinking why would anyone have an objection if a university only wants to teach the ones who are interested in no more animal testing.
@RocketGuy The students who would apply at that university only apply knowing the requirement, or they would find out and decide to apply elsewhere if they don’t like it. So, you’re right. I was thinking an entity other than the applicants/student/s, who would complain.
@SergeantQueen You got it. Can you imagine anyone saying “No, the school should be pro using animals for testing. And “The other universities don’t have that requirement and this one shouldn’t have the right to be opposite”?

I feel like this is about some actual situation, but I have no idea what that is, which makes it hard to feel like I can make an informed answer.

Playing animal-torturer’s advocate, there are (far too many) people who think of animals as not being worth consideration not to torture them for experiments, and so I imagine they might tend to not take seriously such a policy.

And/or maybe they think the policy in unenforceable and/or doesn’t make sense according to some logical argument.

@Zaku Hitler has supporters and they have “quote unquote logical arguments.
