    Default Shaving Requirements and Skin Irritation

    My question involves civil rights in the State of: KY.

    About 25 or so years ago, I attended a culinary school in KY. About half way through, after a break, I was told I couldn't attend any of my lab classes because I had a beard. The rule was, no beards. At the end of the prior semester (?) break, I approached the chef in charge of the program, and asked what my options were because I had issues with shaving. He told me that if I had a Dr's note about my ability/inability to shave, I could still attend class/labs. After the break, I showed up with a beard and a Dr's note that said I was having an allergic reactions to shaving, and that I should be allowed to have a beard. Chef Hickey (?) said I would be fine.

    During my first lad, he had me pulled out of my lab, and told me that I couldn't attend any labs if I has a beard. Do I have any repercussions? As a result, I thought since I got kicked out, that I wasn't obligated to pay back any of my student loans. I get it now. A government loan is a government loan. A few years ago, I was taken to court by the US Attorney General's office and forced to back the loan. They didn't care why I stopped paying. I have now fallen behind on paying back the loan (s), because the USAG changed to e-pay, and I was never able to get any info on where to send it, much less how secure their system was, and what other options I had. Again, what options do I have.
    So, just to play devil's advocate here, and this doesn't have anything to do with the legal advice given, but it is possible that the shaving could cause what appears to be an allergic reaction. My niece has an autoimmune disease which may prevent her from shaving when she gets older. Any skin irritation, including any shirts with tags, or scraping a fingernail along her arm, causes her skin to swell and become inflamed. Cuts or bug bites are agony. The doctor described the reaction as being similar to a severe allergic reaction, when in reality it is the skin attacking itself in response to the irritation.

    On a separate note, I don't know why the OP didn't just wear beard covers when in the lab.
