The University treats the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndro= me (AIDS) the same as any other disease that may be contracted by students = or staff. Any faculty or staff member identified as having AIDS or AIDS-Rel= ated Complex (ARC) will not be barred from working, teaching, attending cla= sses, or participating in activities unless it is determined by appropriate= administrative officers, in consultation with the individual=E2=80=99s per= sonal physician or state health officers, that the person is unable to perf= orm the duties assigned or presents a danger to the public health. All such= decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis and will remain open to ree= xamination in light of new information as it becomes available. Confidentia= lity will be maintained in each case: no information about individuals will= be released to the community. If an employee=E2=80=99s ability to perform = assigned duties is restricted or diminished to a point where disability ben= efits are applicable, their physician should inform the supervisor and Dire= ctor of Human Resources.
Federal and New York State laws prohibit an employer from d= ischarging or refusing to hire an individual because they have AIDS, ARC, o= r is perceived to have AIDS. Employees who become aware that a coworke= r has AIDS or ARC cannot refuse to work with that individual.
Counseling will be made available to employees as appropria= te, and educational and informational programs will be provided as well.
