Current knowledge indicates that students with any form of the AIDS virus do not pose an unacceptable health risk to other students or employees within the University community. Therefore, Huntington University does not consider the existence of any form of the AIDS virus in the decision for individuals applying to the institution for admission. Any information concerning a person with AIDS is confidential and will not be released inappropriately. Huntington University recognizes that the most effective means of addressing the issue of AIDS is to educate students and employees about the virus and to take reasonable precautions as outlined in the “AIDS Policy and Guideline” of the University. This policy is on file and available for examination in the Office of Student Life.

The University provides NATA-certified athletic training for all University-sponsored athletics. All student-athletes must have a medical examination form, signed by a licensed physician, approving participation in the intended sport(s). A University-designated physician and University Athletic Director shall oversee the duties of the athletic trainer. The athletic trainer shall maintain a confidential daily log indicating the name, date, time, and primary complaint of each athlete evaluated. The athletic trainer shall coordinate the physical examinations, care of injured athletes, and other services as necessary with the designated team physician.

In the event of injury, the athletic trainer, or coach (in the athletic trainer’s absence), shall evaluate the athlete and provide basic first aid. An injury needing treatment that falls within the scope of the athletic trainer’s professional certification and capability shall be treated on campus. In all other situations, the athletic trainer shall refer the student-athlete to the University or team physician, unless the athlete makes a specific referral request. In such an event, the team or University physician shall be notified of the injury and requested referral.

In the absence of the athletic trainer, student-athletes shall be referred immediately to the Parkview Huntington Hospital Emergency Room for evaluation and treatment. The athletic trainer shall be informed of any emergency referral and provide follow-up care as indicated.

Students who are ill are expected to notify their instructors and to make up any missed work. Students are not excused from class for illness; however, the instructor may contact the student’s residence hall director to confirm the illness. A student who is forced to miss classes for any extended period shall notify the Registrar’s Office of his/her absence and the reason for it.

In the event of medical emergencies, the R.D. (or R.A. in the R.D.’s absence) should be notified for referral to the Parkview Huntington Hospital Emergency Room. Parkview Huntington Hospital is located approximately one mile from campus.
