AIDS and HIV Virus Index D-1.1
Original Implementation: September, 1990 Page 1 of 6
Last Revision: None
Stephen F. Austin State University recognizes the increasing public awareness and
concern over AIDS and the HIV virus. For the purposes of this policy, AIDS means
acquired immune deficiency syndrome, and HIV Virus means human immuno
deficiency virus. AIDS is a fatal disease which has become a nationwide public health
problem in the last few years. In health related matters such as this one, the University
shall follow the guidelines of recognized authorities including: the National Centers for
Disease Control, the United States Public Health Service, the Texas Department of
Health, and the American College Health Association. Further, the University shall
conform its actions to the Texas Communicable Disease Prevention and Control Act,
the Texas Human Immunodeficiency Virus Services Act, and other law.
The health status of a person infected with the HIV virus may vary from an apparently
healthy, normally functioning individual to a critically ill person. However, there is no
current medical evidence that persons infected with the HIV virus present a health risk
to others in the normal academic or workplace setting. Routine daily encounters with
others pose no risk of transmitting the fragile, blood-borne virus. Accordingly, there is
no reason to exclude individuals with AIDS or the HIV virus from campus academic,
social, or cultural activities. Therefore, on the basis of current knowledge of the
disease, persons sharing common living space, work or study areas, libraries,
classrooms, recreational facilities, and theaters do not represent a problem or public
threat to the campus community.
Students and employees (faculty and staff) of the University who may become infected
with the HIV virus will not be excluded from enrollment or employment, or restricted
in their access to University services or facilities, unless medically-based judgments in
individual cases establish that exclusion or restriction is necessary to the welfare of the
infected person or of the other members of the University community.
Persons with HIV infection are entitled to the same rights and opportunities as persons
with other communicable diseases. The University prohibits any discrimination in its
programs and activities against a person with HIV infection unless based on accurate
scientific information. Any student, faculty member, or employee who violates this rule
may be subject to appropriate disciplinary action.
When circumstances arise that require review of any matter regarding HIV/AIDS, the
President will seek the advice of the Director of University Health Services, the
attending physician, and other relevant parties. An opportunity will be provided for
persons involved in the matter to discuss their circumstances. Members of the Public
Health Committee will be available to review the issues and to provide recommenda
tions to the President for appropriate action.
In the event of public inquiry concerning University policy, programs, problems, or
statistics related to AIDS on campus, the Director of University News and Information
Services will serve as the official spokesperson for the University and will enlist the
cooperation of the Director of University Health Services and the Public Health
Committee as necessary to prepare an appropriate response. All inquiries from the
press, elected public officials, or the public in general will be referred to the
spokesperson. Inquiries of a more private or specific nature may be made to the

Director of University Health Services or the Chairman of the Public Health
Committee.
The medical records and test results of any HIV-infected person on the campus shall
remain confidential and private information in accordance with law. The breach of that
confidentiality may result in litigation and in severe penalties, both civil and criminal.
(Some exceptions to confidentiality are permitted by law.)
The University shall keep the number of people who are aware of the existence and
identity of students, faculty, or staff members who have AIDS or the HIV virus to an
absolute minimum to protect the confidentiality and privacy of the infected persons and
to avoid the generation of unnecessary fear and anxiety on the campus. However,
public information shall be disclosed upon request in accordance with the Texas Open
Records Act, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, the Texas Communicable
Disease Prevention and Control Act, the Texas Human Immunodeficiency Virus
Services Act, and other law.
Persons who know, or have a reasonable basis for believing, that they are infected with
the AIDS virus are expected to seek expert advice about their health circumstances and
are obligated, ethically and legally, to conduct themselves responsibly in accordance
with such knowledge for the protection of other members of the University community.
The University encourages regular medical follow-up for such persons.
The University shall carefully observe the safety guidelines established by the U.S.
Public Health Service for the handling of blood and other body fluids and secretions in
University Health Services and in other institutional contexts in which such fluids or
secretions may be encountered (e.g., teaching and experimental laboratories).
The University shall strictly observe the public health reporting requirements for AIDS
and HIV infection as well as other communicable diseases.
The University shall make this policy available upon request to students, faculty, and
staff members and such a statement will be included in the Student Handbook and
Activities Calendar and in the Policy and Procedure Manual.
Policy for the Work Environment
In the work setting, the University's major concern will be whether an HIV-infected
employee will be able to satisfactorily perform job duties. The University will make
accommodations to keep an employee with HIV infection employed and productive for
as long as the employee is capable of this performance.
Most HIV-infected employees will be able to perform their job duties for an extended
period before their illnesses interfere with job-related performance. During the
asymptomatic period, the employee is not obligated to provide information about
his/her HIV status to the University. However, an employee may want to share
information about his/her HIV-infected status with University officials so that
responsible management decisions may be made about:
47
Index D-l.l
Page 3 of 6
1. assignments or reassignments of job duties;
2. evaluating leave policies to assure leave time comparable to other medical
conditions;
3. determinations of possible qualification for disability entitlements; and,
4. monitoring the insurance status of the HIV-infected employee to assure
continuation of coverage.
Once HIV-related symptoms occur, the employee has the responsibility as in the case of
other illnesses to provide medically verified information relating to the ability to
perform job duties.
Based on federal and state law, any medical documentation of information provided by
an HIV-infected employee to University officials must be considered confidential and
private information. As such, University officials are forbidden by law from disclosing
this information to others without the employee's knowledge and consent. (Some
exceptions to confidentiality are permitted by law.) The University requires that any
consent to disclosure by the employee be in writing. Any University employee who
breaches the confidentiality of this information commits a serious offense that may be
cause for litigation, resulting in both civil and criminal penalties.
University employees who refuse to work with HIV-infected co-workers may be subject
to disciplinary action. University departmental chairmen and directors should carefully
monitor and document any instances of such refusal in violation of this policy and take
appropriate disciplinary action.
At least once each year, Personnel Services shall conduct an HIV/AIDS training
program for the management staff of the University and include in the program:
1. current medical information about HIV transmission and prevention;
2. confidentiality and related laws;
3. personnel management, including relevant policies;
4. development of staff problem-solving skills; and
5. a plan for scheduled periodic training.
Also, each year Personnel Services shall conduct HIV/AIDS employee education
programs to:
1. provide basic and accurate information regarding the modes of transmission and
prevention of HIV infection;
2. reduce fear and misinformation of HIV/AIDS;
48
Index D-1.1
Page 4 of 6
3. help faculty and staff recognize and avoid personal behaviors that might cause
them to become infected with the HIV virus;
4. encourage nondiscrimination, which enables the HIV-infected person to remain
employed as long as feasible;
5. help maintain productivity and lawful behavior in the workplace; and
6. provide continuing information about HIV/AIDS.
7. distribute to all employees a copy of the Texas Department of Health's
educational pamphlet entitled "AIDS: THE WORKPLACE."
At a minimum, the HIV curriculum will include:
1. . modes of transmission;
2. methods of prevention;
3. behaviors related to substance abuse;
4. current laws and regulations concerning the rights of an AIDS/HIV-infected
individual; and,
5. behaviors associated with HIV transmissions which are in violation of Texas law.
On an employee's request, the University shall pay the costs of testing and counseling
an employee concerning HIV infection if the employee:
1. provide appropriate documentation that the employee may have been exposed
to the HIV virus while performing duties of employment with that agency; and,
2. was exposed to the HIV virus in the manner that the U.S. Public Health Service
has determined is capable of transmitting the HIV virus.
However, an employee who may have been exposed to the HIV virus while performing
job duties at the University may not be required to be tested for the HIV virus.
For the purpose of qualifying for worker's compensation or any other similar benefits or
compensation, an employee must provide the employer with a written statement of the
date and the circumstances of the exposure and document that within 10 days after the
exposure the employee had a test result that indicated an absence of HIV infection.
The cost of an employee's testing and counseling shall be paid from funds appropriated
for payment of worker's compensation benefits to state employees. Counseling or a test
conducted in accordance with these provisions shall conform to the model protocol on
HIV counseling and testing prescribed by the Texas Department of Health.
In compliance with Section 9.01 of the Texas Communicable Disease Prevention and
Control Act, the University Police Department shall adopt a policy for handling persons
49
Index D-1.1
Page 5 of 6
with AIDS or HIV infection who are in its custody or under its supervision. The
department's policy shall ensure that education programs for employees include
information and training relating to infection control procedures and that employees
have infection control supplies and equipment readily available.
The University shall adopt and implement workplace guidelines similar to the
workplace guidelines for any state agency listed m Section 5.03 (b) of the Texas Human
Immunodeficiency Virus Services Act for any program involving direct client contact
that is funded by one of the listed state agencies.
Policy for the Academic Environment
The University shall allow, to the extent possible, HIV-infected students, whether they
are symptomatic or not, to continue regular classroom attendance in an unrestricted
manner as long as they are physically able to attend class.
The University recognizes that there is no medical justification for restricting the access
of HIV-infected students to the University Center or to University cafeterias, snack
bars, gymnasiums, swimming pools, recreational facilities, or other common areas.
The University recognizes that the best currently available medical information does
not support the existence of a risk to those sharing residence halls with HIV-infected
individuals; in some circumstances, however, there may be reasonable concern for the
health of those with AIDS or the HIV virus who might be exposed to certain contagious
diseases (e.g., measles or chicken pox) in a close living environment. Thus, decisions
about residential housing of students with AIDS or the HIV virus shall be made on a
case-by-case basis. The University may decide to assign students with AIDS or the HIV
virus to private rooms in the interest of protecting the health of those students. The
University shall provide education programs about AIDS and the HIV virus to its
residence hall staff (both students and employees).
Since there is no medical necessity, the University shall not advise others living in a
residence hall of the presence of students in the residence hall who have AIDS or the
HIV virus. The University believes that the responsibility to provide a safe living
environment is best dealt with by educational programming. Similarly, the University
shall not make any attempt in any other setting to identify those students or employees
who have AIDS or HIV status.
The University shall not routinely ask students about their status regarding AIDS or the
HIV virus. However, the University shall encourage new students to inform the
medical staff at University Health Services if they have AIDS or the HIV virus in order
that Health Services can provide proper medical care and education. The Health
Services staff will handle this information, like all other medical information, in a
strictly confidential manner in accordance with University policy and with federal and
state law.
The University shall not provide any person, group, agency, insurer, employer, or
institution with confidential medical information about students with AIDS or the HIV
virus without the specific written consent of the student. Given the possibility of
unintended or accidental compromise of the confidentiality of information, University
50
Index D-l.l
Page 6 of 6
Health Services staff will carefully weigh the importance of including any specific
information regarding the existence of AIDS or the HIV virus in the medical record of
a student except in circumstances of medical necessity created by the evaluation of an
illness. At a minimum, the inclusion of any such information in the medical record
should be discussed with the patient prior to its entry.
The University shall make available to students, on request, the educational pamphlet
on HIV infection developed by the Texas Department of Health and shall include in
the Student Handbook and Activities Calendar a statement that the pamphlet is
available from University Health Services.
University Health Services shall provide accurate, understandable information on how
to prevent the transmission of HIV infection in compliance with Section 51.917 of the
Texas Education Code.
In further compliance with Section 51.917 of the Texas Education Code, the curricula of
the nursing, counseling, and social work degree programs of the University shall:
1. include information about:
a. methods of transmission and methods of prevention of HIV infection;
and
b. federal and state laws, rules, and regulations concerning HIV infection
and AIDS; and,
2. give special attention to the physical, emotional, and psychological stress
associated with the care of patients with terminal diseases.

Illicit Drugs and Alcohol Abuse Index D-19
Original Implementation: September 1, 1986 Page 1 of 7
Last Revision: September, 1990
It is the declared policy of the United States Government to create a Drug-Free
America by 1995. As a part of that policy, the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988, P.L.
100-690, Subtitle D was adopted. On December 12, 1989, President Bush signed the
Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendment of 1989, P.L. 101-226, which
amends provisions of the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of 1986 and the
Higher Education Act of 1965. University policies relating to the use of illegal drugs
and alcoholic beyerages have been established by the Board of Regents of Stephen F.
Austin State University in compliance with state and federal law.
Standards of Conduct
University policy prohibits all employees (full-time and part-time faculty, staff, and
students) from engaging in the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation,
possession, or use of a controlled substance or alcoholic beverage in the workplace, or
reporting to work under the influence of alcoholic beverages or illegal drugs. None of
the funds appropriated to the University by the State Legislature for travel expenses
may be expended for alcoholic beverages.
University policy further stipulates, with regard to students, that the unauthorized use of
intoxicating beverages on University property or at University sponsored activities,
including, but not limited to, intercollegiate and intramural athletic events is prohibited.
Alcoholic beverages are not permitted in University residence halls. With regard to
student apartments, state law prohibits individuals under 21 years of age from
possessing or consuming alcoholic beverages.
It is the policy of Stephen F. Austin State University that any unlawful manufacture,
possession or delivery of any controlled substance or illegal drug is strictly prohibited.
Moreover, it is the policy of the State of Texas and of this University that this institution
will be as free of illegal drugs as it can possibly be.
Health Risks
Alcohol Abuse.
Alcohol is a primary and continuous depressant of the central nervous system.
Impairment of judgment and of recently learned, complex and finely tuned skills begins
to occur at blood alcohol concentrations as low as 0.025 percent. These impairments
are followed by the loss of more primitive skills and functions, such as gross motor
control and orientation at concentrations in excess of 0.05 percent. Alcohol in
moderate doses impairs nearly every aspect of information processing, including the
ability to abstract and conceptualize, the ability to use large numbers of situational cues
presented simultaneously, and the cognitive ability to determine meaning from
incoming information. Alcohol consumption can therefore promote action on impulse
without full appreciation of, or concern about, the potential negative consequences of
such action. Chronic long-term effects of heavy drinking over a period of years can
result in brain damage, cancer of the mouth, esophagus or stomach, heart disease, liver
damage resulting in cirrhosis, alcoholic hepatitis, and cancer of the liver, peptic ulcer
52
Index D-19
Page 2 of 7
disease and possible damage of the adrenal and pituitary glands. Prolonged, excessive
drinking can shorten life-span by 10-12 years.
Illicit Drugs.
Illicit drugs include narcotics, such as heroin or morphine; depressants, such as
barbiturates, Quaaludes, or valium; stimulants, such as cocaine or "crack";
hallucinogens, such as PCP, LSD or mescaline; cannabis, such as marijuana or hashish;
inhalants, such as nitrous oxide, amyl nitrite (poppers) or various hydrocarbon solvents;
and designer drugs, such as China White, methamphetamine (Ecstacy) or meperidine
(Demerol).
Narcotics. Narcotics initially produce a feeling of euphoria that is often followed by
drowsiness, nausea and vomiting. Tolerance may develop rapidly and dependence is
likely. The use of contaminated syringes may result in diseases such as AIDS,
endocarditis (inflammation of the lining of the heart) and hepatitis.
Depressants. The effects of depressants are in many ways similar to the effects of
alcohol. Small amounts can produce calmness and relaxed muscles, but a somewhat
larger dose can cause slurred speech, ataxia or unstable gait and altered perception.
Very large doses can cause respiratory depression, coma and death. The combination
of depressants and alcohol can multiply the effects of the drugs, thereby multiplying the
risks. The use of depressants can cause both physical and psychological dependence.
Stimulants. Cocaine stimulates the central nervous system. Its immediate effects
include dilated pupils; elevated blood pressure, heart and respiratory rate; and body
temperature. Occasional use can cause a stuffy or runny nose, while chronic use can
ulcerate the mucous membrane of the nose with long-term use eroding the nasal
septum. The injection of cocaine with unsterile equipment can cause AIDS, hepatitis
and other diseases. Preparation of freebase, which involves the use of volatile solvents,
can result in death or injury from fire or explosion. Cocaine can produce psychological
and physical dependency. In addition, tolerance develops rapidly. Crack or freebase
rock is extremely addictive. The physical effects include dilated pupils, increased pulse
rate, elevated blood pressure, insomnia, loss of appetite, tactile hallucinations, paranoia
and seizures. Overdoses occur easily.
Hallucinogens. Phencyclidine (PCP) users frequently report a sense of distance and
estrangement. Time and body movement are slowed down. Muscular coordination
worsens and senses are dulled. Speech is blocked and incoherent. Chronic PCP users
report persistent memory problems and speech difficulties. Mood disorders, such as
depression, anxiety and violent behavior, may also occur. In late stages of chronic use,
users often exhibit paranoid and violent behavior a.nd experience hallucinations. Large
doses may produce convulsions and coma, heart failure, lung problems and/or ruptured
blood vessels in the brain. Lysergic acid (LSD), mescaline and psilocybin cause
illusions and hallucinations. The physical effects may include dilated pupils, elevated
body temperature, increased heart rate and blood pressure, loss of appetite,
sleeplessness and tremors. Sensations and feelings may change rapidly. It is common
to have a bad psychological reaction to LSD, mescaline and psilocybin. The user may
53
Index D-19
Page 3 of 7
experience panic, confusion, suspicion, anxiety and loss of control. Delayed effects or
flashbacks can occur even after use has ceased.
Inhalants. The chemicals in most inhalants are rapidly absorbed in the lungs and exert
their central nervous system effects within seconds, producing an altered mental state
for about five to fifteen minutes. Immediate effects of inhalants include nausea,
sneezing, coughing, nose bleeds, fatigue, lack of coordination and loss of appetite.
Solvents and aerosol sprays can decrease the heart and respiratory rates and impair
judgment. Amyl and butyl nitrite can cause rapid pulse, headaches and involuntary
passing of urine and feces. Inhalation of toluene as well as other hydrocarbons has
been associated with kidney and liver damage, peripheral nerve problems, convulsions,
encephalopathy (organic brain damage) and other central nervous system disorders.
Sudden death associated with both glue sniffing and especially the inhalation of
aerosols containing halogenated hydrocarbons (Freon) has been reported and is
thought to be secondary to cardiac arrhythmias (abnormal electrical conduction
patterns in the heart).
Marijuana. The short term effects of marijuana include distortion of time perception,
increased heart rate, dilation of blood vessels and loss of short term memory. Also
decreased are visual perception and psychomotor skills, which have adverse effects on
driving ability. The effects of long term use include loss of motivation, chronic
bronchitis, decreased vital lung capacity and an increased risk of lung cancer.
Tolerance and psychological dependence do develop with marijuana.
Designer Drugs. Designer drugs are synthetic chemical modifications of older drugs of
abuse that are designed and manufactured in covert laboratories and sold at great profit
for recreational use. These drugs can be several hundred to several thousand times
stronger than the drugs they are designed to imitate. Designer drugs similar to opiates
include fentanyl, demerol, and "china white." The narcotic analogs of designer drugs
can cause symptoms such as those seen in Parkinson's disease - - uncontrollable
tremors, drooling, impaired speech, paralysis, and irreversible brain damage. Analogs
of amphetamines and methamphetamines cause nausea, blurred vision, chills or
sweating and faintness. Psychological effects include anxiety, depression, and paranoia.
Withdrawal problems include sweating, diarrhea, fever, insomnia, irritability, nausea
and vomiting and muscle and joint pain.
University Penalties
Students.
Any student who is determined through the regular disciplinary procedures of the
University, to have violated the policy on the use of illicit drugs will be suspended from
the University for no more than two years and no less than the remainder of the current
semester.
University sanctions imposed for alcohol possession or consumption include the
following.
54
Index D-19
Page 4 of 7
» First offense - The student is placed on Conduct Probation for a period of six months
and is required to attend an alcohol awareness class provided through the University's
Counseling and Career Services office.
» Second offense - The student is placed on Disciplinary Probation for a period of
twelve months. This sanction may include the condition that continued participation in
campus activities will be curtailed or restricted for that same period.
» Third offense - The student is suspended from the University.
Employees.
Observance of the policy regarding alcoholic beverages and illegal drugs is a condition
of employment for all University employees. An employee violating this policy shall be
subject to employment discipline up to and including termination, or shall be required
to undergo satisfactory participation in a drug abuse assistance or rehabilitation
program.
Any employee directly engaged in the performance of work pursuant to the provision of
a federal grant or contract who is convicted of violating a criminal drug statute shall
notify his/her immediate supervisor of the conviction no later than five days after the
conviction. The immediate supervisor shall promptly report the conviction to the
appropriate vice president and the Director of Research Services. On behalf of the
University, the Director of Research Services shall notify the federal agency grantor or
contractor of the conviction within ten days of the University's receipt of notice from
the employee or of receipt of other actual notice.

Counseling. Treatment and Rehabilitation
Students.
Stephen F. Austin State University, through the Counseling and Career Services office,
provides an alcohol/drug abuse prevention program which is available to all students.
Program components include assistance in abstaining from the use of chemical
substances, early intervention when chemical abuse is detected, and referral to a
campus support system and/or a community referral for inpatient/outpatient services
not available on campus. Medical counseling and printed information on chemical
dependency are available through University Health Services, the campus student
health facility. Students may seek individual counseling or request printed information
at either campus location.
Prevention/Education. The objectives of this element of the assistance program are
to: increase awareness of the students, faculty, and staff concerning the psychological
and health risks associated with chemical use; provide information to students
regarding a variety of wellness issues which promote successful college adjustment; and,
orient students, faculty and staff to the services available through the assistance
program. Presentations are available to student groups on a variety of topics including
alcohol and substance abuse, adult children of alcoholics, assertiveness skills, stress and
time management, self-esteem and related issues. A group representative should
contact the Counseling and Career Services office to schedule a presentation. The
assistance program also offers an Alcohol Awareness Workshop. The four-hour
workshop, divided into two sessions, provides basic information, tools for self-assessment,
information on University and state regulations, and an orientation to the
assistance program. Students may request to attend the workshop or be referred by the
Dean of Student Development.
Referral/Assessment. Any SFA student requiring information about, or assistance
with, a chemical abuse problem may be referred to the assistance program. A student
may initiate a self-referral by contacting the Counseling and Career Services office;
University faculty and staff may initiate a student referral. Participation by a student is
voluntary, except when mandated by the Dean of Student Development. A staff
counselor conducts an assessment interview on the student's initial visit to Counseling
and Career Services and provides the student with details regarding confidentiality and
record keeping requirements. The counselor informs the student of alternatives and
makes recommendations based on the student's needs.
Campus Support System. The assistance program serves as a link between the
individual student and support groups which are available for chemical dependency,
57
Index D-19
Page 7 of 7
adult children of alcoholics and victims of sexual abuse. Support groups function under
guidelines established by Counseling and Career Services.
Community Referral. Services for chemical dependency are available in the
Nacogdoches community and include: private practitioners offering individual
counseling or intellectual/psychological assessment; self-help groups such as Alcoholics
Anonymous and Narcotics Ajionymous; and, inpatient/outpatient treatment.
Employees.
University employees with supervisory responsibilities should be cognizant of employee
behavior related to unacceptable job performance which may result from drug or
alcohol abuse. Any decision to initiate employee counseling or a referral to Personnel
Services should be based on the employee's unacceptable job performance. Employee
counseling, referral and related record keeping should be conducted with the degree of
care and confidentiality appropriate to such personnel matters. Assistance beyond
preliminary counseling through Personnel Services is available to University employees
through the Employee Wellness Program with Memorial Hospital of Nacogdoches.
Alcohol and drug abuse seminars are among the services provided cost-free to
University employees. Other services for employees with a chemical dependency are
available in the community, including private practitioners offering individual
counseling, self-help groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous,
and inpatient/outpatient treatment at various health care facilities.
It is the intent of Stephen F. Austin State University to continue to strive for a drug-free
campus and to comply with state and federal regulations regarding prevention programs
established to eliminate the illegal use of drugs and alcohol abuse. To this end,
Stephen F. Austin State University will provide annually to each student and employee
a copy of this drug and alcohol abuse prevention program. In addition, the University
will conduct a biennial review of this program implemented to provide a learning and
working environment free of drug and alcohol use. The purposes of the biennial review
will be to: 1) determine the effectiveness of the program and implement needed
changes; and 2) ensure that the sanctions included in the program are consistently
enforced. The University's General Counsel will be responsible for initiating the
biennial review.
