Policy
In accordance with federal and state law, it is the policy of the University of Dayton to provide equal employment opportunity to and not discriminate against any qualified employee or applicant for employment because of a physical or mental disability. Also, upon request, the University will provide a reasonable accommodation to enable a qualified individual with a disability to perform the essential functions of the job sought or held, provided the accommodation does not constitute an undue hardship on the University.
The University's commitment to equal opportunity for persons with disabilities will include but not be limited to practices involving hiring, recruiting, advertising, retention, training, classification/compensation, benefits, transfers, promotions, termination and layoff.
Employees or applicants with questions about disability accommodations should contact the Office of Human Resources at hr@udayton.edu or 937-229-2541
