<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hello colleagues, I need your help.
For those of you participating in the Federal Work-study program,
more specifically off Campus Community Service, how are you handling
issues of safety of the employee? It is our understanding, as the
employer, the institution is responsible if the student gets hurt while
at work. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">These are my questions:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">
Is there written guidance from the Department
of Education relative to this issue or would we find that guidance under
the laws relative to
employment?</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">
</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">
How do you insure that the agency you are
sending the student into, is a safe environment?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">
Whose responsibility is it on your campus
to make sure this happens?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">
Is there a written contract between the University
and the offcampus agency that address's the responsibility for safety?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">
Are you willing to share a copy of your contract?</font>
<br>
<br>

who wore the thorns".<br>
