Student Health Information

AIDS/Infectious Disease Policy. The College is committed to a policy of non-discrimination for those diagnosed HIV/AIDS positive. Current knowledge indicates that students or employees with AIDS, Aids-Related Complex, or a positive HTLV-III antibody test do not necessarily pose a health risk to other students or employees in an academic setting. Students with AIDS, Aids-Related Complex, or a positive HTLV-III antibody test will be offered regular classroom attendance, and participation in activities in an unrestricted manner as long as they are able to do so, and their condition is not a threat to themselves or others.  Except where coursework requires involvement with body fluids, no special policies, procedures or rules will be imposed on students diagnosed with HIV. The College recognizes that a student’s or employee’s health condition is personal and confidential. In the event of an absence from school because of an AIDS-related illness, the same confidentiality requirements that apply to any medical condition apply. Therefore, reasonable steps will be taken to protect such information from being disclosed inappropriately.

If coursework requires involvement of bodily fluids, the condition will be reviewed by a college committee consisting of the Vice President of Student Services and Enrollment Management, two College employees in the health care field, and one other administrator, counselor or faculty/instructor appointed by the President. The committee will review the facts and recommend to the President whether or not action should be taken. The committee will consider “reasonable accommodation” if it is determined that some type of action is required.
