University Regents Sue High-Profile Veterinarian

Nov 25, 2014

The University of California, Davis (UC Davis), Board of Regents has filed a $1 million lawsuit against Jack Snyder, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ACVS, for allegedly failing to contribute to a university-sponsored profit-sharing plan that would benefit research and other projects at the school.

Now retired from his UC Davis post, Snyder served on the university's College of Veterinary Medicine faculty for some 30 years. A biography posted on the Circle Oak Equine website—the Petaluma, California, clinic where Snyder now practices—states that he also served as head equine surgeon for the Seoul Olympic games, and served at both the 2011 Pan American Games in Mexico and the 2010 World Equestrian Games in Kentucky.

“There's no doubt about it, he was the expert in horse lameness and surgery,” said Parker White, the board of regents' attorney.

White said the regents' lawsuit seeks $1 million that board alleges Snyder should have contributed to a fund intended to support grants, research, and other projects at the school. The lawsuit alleges Snyder was to contribute revenue that he gleaned as a consultant and from other paid work at clinics and other venues located outside the school while he was employed by the university.
