Here’s a news story as old as dirt: The animal rights advocates are still trying to get OHSU to shut down its monkey experiment operation out in Hillsboro. This fight goes way, way back.

And of course, in recent decades it’s become pretty clear that our illustrious med school doesn’t do all that well with homo sapiens, either. Pity the poor primates.
