Posted: Tuesday, September 14, 2010Buffalo State College Policy on Persons with Disabilities
From the Senior Adviser to the President for Equity and Campus Diversity
I. Policy
It is the policy of Buffalo State College that no otherwise qualified person with a disability shall, solely by reason of that disability, be excluded from participation in employment or access to programs of the college.
Pursuant to the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA), Titles I and II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, Sections 503 & 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and New York State Executive Law 296, Buffalo State College will not discriminate against any employee, applicant for employment, or student, because of a physical or mental impairment with regard to any position or program for which that person is qualified.
In carrying out this policy, the college will make a good-faith effort to reasonably accommodate the physical or mental limitations of an employee, applicant for employment, or student unless such accommodations would impose undue hardship on the operation of the college.
The goal of this policy is to provide equal employment and educational opportunities to enable persons with disabilities to function adequately, both personally and professionally, within the academic, social, and broader college community.
II. Requests for Accommodations
A. Employees and Applicants
Buffalo State College takes affirmative action to employ, advance in employment, and otherwise treat qualified individuals with disabilities without discrimination based upon their physical or mental impairment in all employment practices including but not limited to: advertising, recruitment, employment, upgrading, demotion, transfer, layoff or termination, rates of pay or other forms of compensation, and professional development.
Employees or prospective employees/applicants with disabilities (as defined in the ADAAA 2008) may request reasonable accommodation, if necessary, to enable them to have access to employment opportunity or to perform duties essential to their job. Such requests may be made regardless of title, salary, salary grade, bargaining unit, or employment status (permanent, temporary, or provisional). The college makes reasonable accommodation to the physical, mental health, and learning limitations of employees and applicants for employment, wherever such an accommodation does not impose an undue hardship on the conduct of the mission of the college.
Employees in need of an accommodation (as defined under ADAAA of 2008) shall make such a request in writing to the ADA Coordinator in the Human Resources Management Office, Cleveland Hall 403.
