Ensuring Reasonable Accommodations and Accessibility

EOA provides accommodation processes for all employees and students by type listed in Figure 17, except disabled student academic and housing accommodations, which go through Disability Access Services. EOA works closely with supervisors, faculty, staff, and students to determine whether individuals qualify for a reasonable accommodation.

Summary

In FY25, EOA received 188 accommodation and accessibility requests. Figure 17 provides a table with all data and a three year comparison. Figure 15 depicts the data by type of request and Figure 16 shows accommodations by resolution. Crime victims are those who qualify for protected leave.

EOA has a budget to cover all employee accommodations. Expenses vary on a case-by-case basis, though the average cost is around $500. Expenses usually include interpreting, technology, furniture, and construction.
