under appropriate guidance and supervision for students in the majors and minors associated with these

judgment, and a sense of professional responsibility for students in the SSW Degree Programs, and

conditions which meet criteria established by the regulatory agencies, including the Council of Social
Work Education, overseeing social work programs for agencies affiliating with such SSW Programs and

educational institution can be mutually beneficial in providing uniquely advantageous educational
experiences, and

agreement whereby students in the University SSW Programs shall receive internship experiences in
practicum courses at the Agency. This Agreement shall be governed by the following conditions:

Work Education occurring in 2020 a student of the University is allowed to be engaged in a
planned practical learning and/or clinical educational experience at the Agency for University
credit while concurrently performing work as an employee of the Agency. The student's
classification must be determined and recorded according to the two classifications stated below
for the determination of benefits and liabilities of the University and the Agency, but both
classifications shall be considered a"student" for purposes of this Agreement unless otherwise
noted.
1) Classification 1- Student Only/Not an Employee of the Agency. The University and
Agency acknowledge that such a student is an enrolled student at the University only engaged
in a supervised educational experience at the Agency. No student under this status shall in
any way be considered an employee or agent of the Agency or of the University, nor shall
any such student be entitled to any fringe benefits, Worker's Compensation, disability
benefits or other rights normally afforded to employees of the Agency or of the University.

required hours for accreditation.

1) ffiPAA. The Agency and University jointly agree that Agency is a covered entity for
purposes of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and subject
to 45 CFR Parts 160 and 164 ("the HIPAA Privacy Regulation"). To the extent that students
are participating in a clinicaUnon-clinical experience at Agency such students shall:
i. Be considered part of Agency's workforce for HIPAA compliance purposes
in accordance with 45 CFR Part 164.103, but shall not be construed to be
employees of Agency;
ii. Receive training by Agency on, and subject to compliance with, all of
Agency's privacy policies adopted pursuant to the HIPAA Privacy
Regulation; and
iii. Not disclose any Protected Health Information, as that term is defined by 45
CFR § 160.103, to University which a student accessed through participation
in the clinicaUnon-clinical experience that has not first been de-identified as
provided in 45 CFR § 164.514(a);
No services are being provided to Agency by University pursuant to this Agreement and
therefore this Agreement does not create a"business associate" relationship as that term is
defined in 45 CFR § 160.103.
2) FERPA. Both Parties shall comply with the applicable provisions of the Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, 20 USC 1232 (g), otherwise known as FERPA
or the Buckley Amendment, and shall take all measures necessary to ensure the
confidentiality of any and all information in their possession regarding the University's
students who train at the Agency pursuant to this agreement, as well as any and all
information regarding any Agency students. Both Parties agree to limit the use of such
information only for the purpose for which they obtained such information.
3) Other Confidential Information. The Parties understand and agree that in connection with
this Agreement, each Party may acquire competitively sensitive information which is
neither known to nor ascertainable by persons not engaged with the other Party, and which
may cause each Party to suffer competitively or economically if such information becomes
known to persons outside of that Party. Such information may be in the form of trade
secrets, or in the form of confidential information. Confidential information shall include,
but not be limited to each Party's business and business development plans, patient or
supplier lists. Consequently, except as provided in this paragraph or otherwise required by
E
Docusign Envelope ID: 0145698A-F26F-4793-8B88-9FF1 B89F9ACE
law, each Party agrees not to directly or indirectly use or disclose to any individual or entity
any confidential Party information at any time.
The foregoing restrictions on use and disclosure of confidential information do not apply
to information (i) that is required to be disclosed by law, regulation, or court or
governmental order, (ii) that is or becomes publicly known other than as a result of a
violation of this Section 3, (iii) that is known by a Party prior to receipt of the information
from the other Party as clearly evidenced by such Party's books and records, (iv) that is
lawfully received by a Party from a Party not under a non-disclosure obligation with respect
to such information, or (v) that is independently developed by a Party without reliance on
the confidential information received as clearly evidenced by such Party's books and
records.
C. Removal of Students. Both Parties agree that either the University or the Agency relieve a
student of any specific assignment or may drop a student enrolled in the program if, in the
opinion of either party, the student is not making satisfactory progress in the program. Any
student who does not satisfactorily complete the program or any portion thereof may repeat the
course at the same Agency only with the written approval of both the Agency and the
University. Both Parties also agree Agency may reserve the right to reasonably discipline any
student who fails to comply with Agency policies and procedures. Discipline may result from
conduct, work, or health status that materially interferes with the Agency's ability to care for
students or impairs the student from benefiting from the clinical experience. If Agency, in its
sole discretion, determines that the student's acts or omissions are unsatisfactory for (1) non-
adherence to the following: (i) dress code, (ii) behavior standards; (iii) administrative and
medical policies; (iv) maintenance of professional liability insurance; or (2) cannot provide
safe care due to physical or mental illness, the student will immediately cease the clinical
experience at the Agency, and the Agency will notify University's liaison of such discipline or
removal.
D. Discrimination. The Parties hereto shall abide by the requirements of Executive Order 11246,
42 U.S.C. Section 2000d and the regulations thereto, as may be amended from time to time.
There shall be no unlawful discrimination or treatment because of race, color, religion, sex,
national origin, age, order of protection status, marital status, ancestry, military status,
unfavorable discharge from military service, sexual orientation or physical or mental disability
in the employment, training, or promotion of students or personnel engaged in the performance
of this Agreement.
E. Employment Status of Individuals Other Than Students. No employee or agent of one Party
shall in any way be considered an employee or agent of the other Party. This Agreement does
not contemplate the payment of a fee or remuneration by either Party to the other either before,
during, or after the completion of the educational experience. This provision shall not be
deemed to prohibit the employment of a student or faculty member of the University by the
Agency under a separate employment agreement or prohibit the employment of an employee
of the Agency by the University under a separate employment agreement.
F. Insurance.
1) University Insurance. The University shall maintain for itself and provide to students or
