Two years ago the Board of Trustees of The City University
of New York approved a rather elaborate policy statement regarding
persons with AIDS.  (I believe that it was approved at the 3/21/88
meeting and is Calendar Item #5.) As part of the implementation of the
policy one of the Vice Chancellors assumed the role of University-wide
overseer for the implementation of this policy.

The Professional Staff Congress, the Union representing the instructional
staff of the University, issued a booklet entitled "Reasonable Accomodations:
A Faculty Guide to Teaching College Students With Disabilities".  This
booklet has a section devoted to persons with AIDS.

The City University has 18 branches.  I know while I was working at one
of them, Baruch College, that there were panel discussions on the topic
of AIDS which appeared to have been organized (or at least sponsored by
student organizations) and which featured participants who are very
active in the AIDS epidemic in NYC.  This college also kept a large
supply of pamphlets published by the NYC Board of Health prominently
displayed in the entrance lobbies of at least some of its classroom
buildings.  This booklet is a very comprehensive directory of AIDS-
related services in the NYC area.  When a revised version came out, I
noticed that a supply of these immediately replaced the old ones.....
so someone was headsup on this.  In this same college various bulletin
board postings relating to AIDS would appear from time to time.

The faculty and staff received an AIDS-related small single sheet piece
of literature on AIDS with their paychecks about a year or a year and
a half ago.
