WHen I turn on the cold water, water flows from the hot valve

I've seen the same for years in a medical school library (ie public)
restroom, and they never seem to fix it either.

My sink is from 1977, Kohler I think. My uncle insists it is hard to fix
because of the way this valve is built?

How can I learn more about this sorta thing?
