AIDS Policies and Resources for Community Colleges.
Black, Ralph; Klein, Charlie
This report was developed to assist California community college districts in developing policies and educational programs to prevent the further spread of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). First, the report discusses the epidemiology of AIDS, and outlines institutional and legislative actions taken to provide public education about the disease and to protect people with AIDS. The policy statement developed by the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges is followed by guidelines for the development of educational plans and policies at the district level. Next, the report considers various models for AIDS education, stressing that education should: (1) be designed to prevent the further spread of the virus and to dispel myths about the spread of the disease; (2) be coordinated in an authoritative and professional manner; (3) consider particular campus needs; (4) provide referrals and literature; (5) include the education of administrators, faculty and staff; (6) include networking between and outreach to other colleges; (7) encourage volunteerism; and (8) incorporate evaluation and documentation procedures. The final section lists selected resources on AIDS; e.g., educational planning and curricular materials, brochures, videotapes, slides, and information for employees. Lists are also provided of county health officers, alternative test sites, telephone hotlines, newsletters, support and service organizations, funding sources, first aid guidelines, and other sources of information. Appendixes analyze legal issues and developments, present results of a college AIDS survey; and provide the American College Health Association's General Statement on Institutional Response to AIDS.
