Swine Flu on College Campuses

Several colleges and universities are testing students for possible cases of swine flu on their campuses. This morning, InsideHigherEd.com posted a story on their site about several schools testing for this type of flu and what the schools are doing in response to events, travel to Mexico, and study abroad programs.

Let us know what's happening at your school by leaving a comment below.

Cal State Long Beach is doing good. Treatment was given to a student living in the dorms that was positive for swine flu, her roomate also received medicine as a precaution but did not test positive. The sick student refrained from attending classes, which may have save several students from catching the disease. CSULB has repeatedly given students updates through the campus newspaper, emails, and webiste, and asked that all sick individuals seek medical attention. So far, out of 36,000 students only that one was positive. She is recovering in isolation and should be back in no time.

S Silva, thanks for the update on CSULB. I talked with someone from the University of Delaware last week where they had several confirmed cases on campus. They seemed to be taking the same measures and alerting the rest of the campus through text messages and on thier website as well. I'm glad the student on your campus will be back soon.
