Volunteer Emergency Worker Policy

Last Updated 6/20/2007

In July 2006 the State of Illinois passed the Volunteer Emergency Worker Higher Education Protection Act. This state law provides for accommodation to be made for students who volunteer to serve as emergency workers. If an absence is the result of a student’s role as a volunteer emergency worker an instructor is required to accommodate the absence within reason.
