Christine- At IU, my understanding is that at the university level we defer to CDC or state board of health guidance/requirements for possible quarantine as they occur. Here are a couple of info pages from throughout the Ebola crisis in West Africa. The first one is from our university-wide public safety website. The medical school may have more detailed policies, but I don't have access to those.

Hello, everyone. We are working on our foreign travel policy to cover those who want to go to restricted countries for various reasons (to provide healthcare, etc.). Do any of you with health care facilities require a health screening or possible quarantine when someone returns from a country with a known contagious disease outbreak, whether restricted or not? Thanks if anyone has an example.
