Lawson State Community College (LSCC) recognizes that students, faculty, and staff with life threatening illnesses (LTI), including but not limited to cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and HIV/AIDS, may wish to engage in as many of their normal pursuits as their condition allows, including work. As long as students, faculty, or staff are able to meet the same performance standards as those persons without LTI, and medical documentation indicates that their conditions are not a threat to others, administrators should be sensitive to their conditions and ensure that they are treated consistently with other students, faculty, and staff members. It is the policy of Lawson State Community College to provide a safe environment for all students, faculty, and staff. Policy guidelines are as follows: 1. LSCC will not undertake programs of mandatory testing of either employees or students for the presence of indicators of LTI. For health status testing and/or counseling, students, faculty, and staff should be aware of appropriate community health agencies. 2. The existence of conditions related to LTI in an applicant for LSCC admission or employment will not be considered in the initial admission or employment decision. 3. LSCC students with LTI conditions, whether or not symptomatic, will be allowed regular classroom attendance in an unrestricted manner, as long as they are able to attend classes. 4. LSCC faculty and staff who have LTI-related conditions, whether or not symptomatic, will be allowed to continue their work in an unrestricted manner, so long as they are able to perform the duties of their jobs, in compliance with LSCC employment policies and federal guidelines. 5. The access of LSCC students or employees with LTI or LTI-related conditions to LSCC public areas will not be restricted, in compliance with LSCC and federal guidelines.
