Speak to your ADA and/or EEO people on campus. Hopefully, between them, the student, and the lab safety people you can come up with a solution. I’m interested in seeing the CHAS presentation as well.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Burka
and safety
Could others tell me how you deal with a student who wears a Burka taking an organic chemistry class, or any lab class for that matter? We certainly don’t want to discriminate religiously, so how do we deal with the safety issues of that. Surprisingly this is the first time this situation has arisen for us.
Thanks,
