Title: FARE "Pilot Guidelines for Managing Food Allergies in Higher Education"
Post by: ajinnj on April 06, 2015, 06:25:50 PM
From today's FARE newsletter:

"FARE is pleased to announce that it has launched its pilot program aimed at providing colleges and universities with gold-standard recommendations and evidence-based resources needed to effectively manage food allergy, a potentially life-threatening disease. The FARE College Food Allergy Program was introduced last year with the goal of providing students with food allergies a safer college experience by helping colleges and universities develop comprehensive, uniform food allergy management policies. The new "Pilot Guidelines for Managing Food Allergies in Higher Education" were developed by FARE together with experts in the areas of health, housing, dining services, disability services and emergency medical services. A dozen schools were selected to implement the program. To learn which colleges and universities are participating, read more in our news release."

I don't see a list of the schools for the pilot program. 
Am I missing it, or are they not publishing the names of these schools until the pilot program is over?

I will say that we've already had great experiences at the University of Chicago--both DS and me.  I had such good experiences for a few years that I felt comfy when DS went on a campus tour without me (I was in a meeting elsewhere on campus).  They do a good job even now.
