Update: Sending students home

As a preventative measure, Olivet will make every effort to send students who have an influenza like illness home until they have gone 24-hours without a fever.

Not only is this generally the most comfortable option for the students affected, but is also the best way to prevent an outbreak of the flu within residential halls.

In the case where travel is not possible, Olivet has isoloated rooms and facilities available for students with an influenza like illness. They will continue to receive care and nourishment through the support of residential life staff.

To this point, three ONU students with an influenza like illness have been sent home.
