Protection for Employees with Disabilities

Michigan State University is committed to hiring qualified persons with disabilities and to fulfilling its responsibilities under state and federal civil rights laws and the University’s Anti-Discrimination Policy. University employees or job applicants who believe they need an accommodation should refer to the Disability/Reasonable Accommodations Policy.

Copies of the policy can also be obtained from the Resource Center for Persons with Disabilities (RCPD) or MSU Human Resources. An employee/applicant or supervisor/unit administrator who disagrees with the Workplace Accommodations Specialist's determination regarding reasonable accommodation may appeal the decision to the ADA/Section 504 Coordinator using the contact information below.
