CHICAGO -- Bob Barker has donated $1 million US to Northwestern University's School of Law to endow a course on animal rights law. The Bob Barker Endowment Fund for the Study of Animal Rights Law will allow students to earn credits on topics such as how humans interact with and use animals, species protection and international wildlife law, the school announced Tuesday.
Barker, the host of The Price Is Right and a longtime animal-rights activist, has given similar funds in recent years to law schools at Duke, Stanford, Columbia and UCLA.
Law school students should expect to deal with an animal law issue at some point in their careers, law school dean David Van Zandt said.
