Employee Accommodations

Titles 1 and 5 of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) as well as numerous other civil rights laws, protect persons with disabilities from discrimination in the workplace. The following information is for MWSU employees needing to request accommodations based on the presence of either a temporary or permanent disability. If you have a disability and need to request workplace accommodations, you can make an informal request with your direct suprvisor or you can make a more formal request by contacting:

The Office of Disability Services, along with the ADA Coordinator and ADA Committee, will work with Human Resources upon request to provide information and resources regarding the provision of reasonable accommodations.

* If you believe that your civil rights have been violated because of your disability, you are encouraged to contact Sally Sanders directly.
