AR-News: (CA-on)Vegan has beef with policy

[Animalconcerns]

A nutrition student says her rights were trampled on after being forced to
work with animal products in one of her classroom experiments or fail her
assignment, despite her personal beliefs.

Tanya Kowalenko, a second-year student and a vegan, said she was ordered
to attend a biochemistry lab on Feb. 20 or fail. She said in the lab, her
professor instructed the class to dab egg yolk on a piece of test paper.
The test was to determine the amount of lipid gels in eggs.

Kowalenko said she e-mailed her professor, Mario Estable, about a
week-and-a-half prior to the lab, voicing her concerns. She said she was
willing to do another assignment in lieu of working with animal products,
but her professor said it wasn't a valid excuse.
