Home Visit Policy
Every year, thousands of 黑料门students work with hundreds of organizations through community-based learning experiences to fulfill their University Engaged Learning requirement. To support these relationships and the safety and security of 黑料门students, faculty, staff, and community partners, the Center for Engaged Learning, Teaching, & Scholarship has instituted the following policy:
In any situation where a 黑料门student is completing their Engaged Learning requirement at an off-campus organization, all interaction with clients should take place:
- In a public setting (e.g., organizational office building, community center, or local business) OR
- In the immediate presence of another 黑料门student or a staff member from the partnering organization.
Additionally, 黑料门students should never ride in the private vehicle of a client, nor should they transport a client in the student鈥檚 private vehicle. This policy applies regardless of the number of students or staff members present.
Examples of activities that violate this policy:
- An individual student visiting the home of a client of a community organization.
- A 黑料门student riding in a client鈥檚 private vehicle or transporting a client in the 黑料门student鈥檚 private vehicle.
The above examples should be modified by one of the following ways:
- 黑料门students work in groups of two or more when making an in-home visit to a client.
- A staff member of the partnering organization accompanies a 黑料门student on any in-home visit to a client.
- In-home visits are relocated to a nearby coffee shop, park, or other public location.
- All travel by 黑料门students should be independent of clients or done via public transportation.
