Equal Access/Equal Opportunity Briefings

PHASE II - Americans with Disabilities Act and the ADA Amendments Act

The Americans with Disabilities Act and the ADA Amendments Act session represents Phase II of the Equal Access/Equal Opportunity Briefing Initiative started at Purdue three years ago. Phase II focuses on the area of disabilities for two reasons. The first is due to the changes to the law brought about in 2009 that affect employers like Purdue. The second reason is the increased number of individuals with disabilities in our workforce. Purdue wants to ensure that we treat all individuals that are a part of our faculty and staff equitably and respectfully. Due to the changes in the area of disabilities, there is a session specific to supervisors and a session for faculty and staff who do not have supervisory responsibilities. Please select the session that is appropriate for you. We are delighted you are joining us for a session.

This comprehensive briefing shares with participants the University's commitment to foster an equitable and inclusive campus climate by ensuring equal access and equal opportunity for all members of the University community. The briefing invites faculty and staff to partner with Purdue to ensure a campus environment free of discrimination and harassment.

The session is designed to provide participants with a foundation in the areas of equal access and equal opportunity. Information on discrimination, harassment, sexual harassment, disabilities, retaliation, and the process at the University for the resolution of complaints will be presented. The University's Nondiscrimination Policy Statement, Antiharassment Policy, and Procedures for Resolving Complaints of Discrimination and Harassment will be provided to every participant. Participants are asked to assess the role personal behavior and conduct play in ensuring an inclusive university community free of discrimination and harassment.
