In line with recommendations from the Center for Disease Control, Dartmouth is openly welcoming students and visitors from countries that the World Health Organization has highlighted as being high-risk for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. Although other colleges have enacted policies requiring individuals who may have been exposed to SARS to spend 10 days outside of their country before coming to campus -- allowing for the 10-day incubation period that occurs before symptoms appear -- Dartmouth is not instating such a policy, said Dr. Jack Turco, Director of Health Services at the College during a panel discussion yesterday. "We're welcoming people to come to campus," Turco said. Turco and Steve Silver, the Director of the International Office, expressed their fears that the SARS scare would result in racial profiling. "We don't want people who look like they come from China to be treated differently," Turco said.
