Action Alert: Email Blast Needed to Demand Answers from UF

From WAARights

Silence is NOT Golden.

Email campaigns can be very effective if large numbers of activists participate.

Hundreds of millions of our taxpayer dollars fill the coffers each year at the University of Florida yet, on December 17, 2010, contrary to Florida Statutes, they refused to disclose public information. In addition, UF has an established pattern of applying for and receiving federal grants to conduct torturous experiments on animals while SIMULTANEOUSLY denying any involvement in such research.

Please help by sending the following message to the associated parties; please note that if the first set of email addresses to be CC’d does not work, use the second set.

Thank you.

Dear Ms. Sikes:

Earlier this month, activists raised a number of issues with you regarding possible financial fraud at the University of Florida. These allegations are based on your direct quotes as well as the university’s decision to withhold public information.

Your silence is unacceptable and your public relations problems have only just begun.

I am greatly concerned — as all taxpayers should be — that it appears UF is abusing federal funds.

I await your responses to each and every issue regarding Ethical Misconduct and Fraudulent Use of Federal Funds raised in the letters that you have failed to respond to for two weeks:

Thank you in advance for your attention to these serious matters.
