The Administration and the Board of Curators recognizes the right of employees to express their concerns and to seek a solution concerning disagreements arising from working relationships, working conditions, employment practices, or differences of interpretation of policy, which might arise, between the University and its employees. To facilitate an outlet for employee expression of a complaint or grievance, the following complaint and grievance procedure has been established.
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
The ADA is designed to integrate people with disabilities fully into the mainstream of American life. It protects:
- people who currently have a disability;
- people who have a history of a disability;
- people who are regarded as having a disability by others, whether or not they actually have a disability; and
- people who are not themselves disabled but who encounter discrimination on the basis of their association or relationship with a person who has a
disability--parents of children with disabilities, for example
The Equal Opportunity Staff (EOS) ensures that state employees who implement programs funded by CSREES are aware of employment opportunities and decisions, and that citizens served by these programs have equal access to all program services. The following are Civil Rights policy statements, laws, and departmental regulations that apply to state land-grant universities.
