Guidelines For Faculty

If you suffer reactions to scented products and there is scent in your classroom that is causing you to have a reaction, you should do the following:

• Inform students that the university has a scent-reduced program (it would be helpful for you to remind students of the program at the first class of each term.)
• Direct them to this website so they can learn more.
• Explain the impact that scented products have on you personally.
• Ask the class to become part of the solution and stop wearing scented products to your class or anywhere on campus.
• If the situation persists, discreetly approach the student or students who are wearing the scent.
• Explain what the problem is and what kind of reaction(s) the fragrance triggers.
• Again direct them to this website and ask them to switch to wearing unscented products.
