Recently, the federal government began removing critical healthcare content from websites where it had been available for decades, including important health information educational institutions nationwide rely on to provide top-quality health and well-being services to their students. This content includes guidelines and materials relating to sexual and reproductive health, vaccination recommendations, public health monitoring, and other preventative and treatment tools relied on by college health professionals to care for students on their campuses
The American College Health Association (ACHA) calls on the federal government to immediately restore and preserve access to this critically important public health information.
In the meantime, ACHA members can rely on our peer-to-peer resource sharing platform, ACHA Connect, to locate, share, and/or retrieve copies of resources the government has made unavailable.
ACHA members should also feel free to share the impacts of these governmental actions with ACHA.
Submit your feedback here or by emailing advocacy@acha.org.
Members can also consider contacting their government officials regarding this issue.
Contact information for elected representatives can be found online at www.house.gov and www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm.
Sample scripts and other information and guidance can be provided upon request by emailing advocacy@acha.gov.
ACHA stands with our members and institutions of higher education in the work they do, every day, in every student interaction, despite constraints and never-ending resource challenges.
