The University of Dallas will not exclude or impede an otherwise qualified handicapped individual, by sole reason of handicap, from submitting an application for employment or from participation in University programs and activities.

The University will provide any and all reasonable accommodations to facilitate handicapped applicants, students, employees and guests access to and participation in University programs, events, classes and administrative activities. The Director of Human Resources, Carpenter Hall, 972-721-5382, will designate an individual to coordinate and comply with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act.

University departments sponsoring events that are open to the public must include as part of the event announcement the clause: Persons with disabilities needing special assistance to attend should contact the ADA coordinator at 972-721-5382 at least 72 hours before the event. The University will provide reasonable accommodation to those requesting assistance.

Employees and students who complain of any alleged violations of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 or the Americans with Disabilities Act, may present their complaint to the Section 504 Coordinator, Janis Townsend.

The Coordinator assists in an informal resolution of the complaint or guides the complainant to the appropriate individual or process for resolving the complaint. Complainants who are not faculty, staff or students who are not satisfied with the resolution of the problem by the Coordinator, may ask the Senior Vice President for Finance and Administration, Robert Galecke to review their situation. The decision of the Senior Vice President for Finance and Administration will be final.
