Detailed procedures consistent with this policy shall be developed by individual colleges and departments as necessary. These procedures will be submitted to the chairperson of the University HIV Committee for committee review before implementation. No current or prospective member of the university community shall be required to receive an HIV antibody test or other diagnostic tests associated with HIV as a condition of admission or employment. Persons with HIV are to be treated with respect and dignity. They are not to be discriminated against or denied any service due to them on the basis of existing or perceived HIV status.
Complaints are to be directed to the affirmative action officer.
Realizing the episodic nature of the illness and possible limitations brought about by their disability, persons with HIV may request reasonable accommodations be made to allow them to continue their employment or academic program of studies. Employees should direct requests for reasonable accommodations to the Office of Human Resources. Students should direct requests to the Office of Advising and Testing. The university, upon review, will attempt to accommodate requests to the extent it is operationally feasible. Should the employee continue to refuse to work with or provide service to those individuals, the person may be subject to appropriate progressive discipline up to and including dismissal.
