The University complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and attempts to ensure equal employment opportunity for all qualified persons with disabilities. No person will be refused the opportunity to apply for employment solely because of a disability; nor will such application receive unfavorable consideration solely because of a disability. Furthermore, the University is committed to making reasonable accommodations for the physical and/or mental limitations of applicants and employees with disabilities who are otherwise able to perform the essential functions of the job. 

As part of the on-going facilities strategic planning program, the University has taken, and will continue to take, steps to ensure that the campus workplace is accessible to applicants and employees with disabilities.  Sensitivity to the special needs of persons with disabilities, along with good faith effort in providing accommodations, will ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided an equal opportunity to compete and qualify for employment. 

Employees who wish to request an accommodation may obtain an accommodation request form from the Office of Social Equity. Immediate supervisors may be involved in discussions regarding the provision of appropriate accommodations.  In most cases, medical documentation of the disability and the need for accommodation will be required.  An employee with a disability who disagrees with the accommodations provided may file an ADA accommodation appeal request with the Office of Social Equity.
