Executive Memorandum B-45

Purdue University is committed to safeguarding the rights and welfare individuals who participate as subjects in research. This commitment has been demonstrated continuously since 1977 when President Arthur G. Hansen established the University Committee on the Use of Human Research Subjects. In Executive Memorandum B-45, President Hansen delegated to the Committee the responsibility of protecting human subjects. The Memorandum also set forth the duties and powers of the Committee, which continue today. We hope you will take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with this timeless document.
