Panel says UW-Madison animal researcher who was suspended did not receive due process

A UW-Madison professor did not get due process when the university suspended her animal research last year, according to a report from a faculty committee. The University Committee found that the university suspended professor Michele Basso from working with animals without a formal investigation. Further, the committee that suspended her, the All Campus Animal Care and Use Committee, did not have the authority to do so, according to the report. UW-Madison Chancellor Biddy Martin declined to comment Tuesday night while she reviews the report.
