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). An employee/applicant or supervisor/unit administrator who disagrees with the RCPD’s determination regarding reasonable accommodation may appeal the decision to the Director of the RCPD or the ADA Coordinator in the Office for Inclusion and Intercultural Initiatives.

The Office of Civil Rights and Title IX Education and Compliance ADA/Section 504 Coordinator, Tracy Leahy. Her contact information is:
