What deficiencies are noted most often by AAALAC?
The number and frequency of deficiencies found during site visits continues to decline. In fact, the vast majority of institutions renewing their accreditation are immediately awarded “Continued Full Accreditation.” (A decade ago, only 37 percent of renewing institutions received this distinction.) When problem areas are cited, they most frequently involve the IACUC (the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees), also called the Ethics Committee or Animal Care Committee. Other common deficiencies include inadequate heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, and employee occupational health and safety concerns.
