3.30 Disability Accommodation (See also Chapter 4 - Personnel - General - Appeals, Disability.) [edited from Personnel 8-13, and AP&P 131, 242]

The university is dedicated to providing reasonable accommodation to qualified university employees and applicants for positions in accordance with state and federal laws. Qualified individuals with disabilities are protected from discrimination in hiring, promotion, discharge, pay, job training, fringe benefits, and other aspects of employment. Accessibility to buildings, programs, and services will also be safeguarded to the extent that an undue financial hardship is not imposed on the university. The accommodation process begins when an employee (or applicant) discloses a disability and requests specific accommodation(s). Under normal circumstances, requests for accommodation(s) are considered after the employee completes and processes the Petition for Accommodation Form available at the EEO/ADA and Employee Relations Office.
