Wherever possible, accommodations and physical improvements will be built into the budget process. Qualified disabled individuals will be treated without discrimination in all employment practices including but not limited to employment, promotion, demotion or transfer, recruitment or recruitment advertising, layoff or termination, job classification, benefits, tenure, eligibility for leave, compensation and selection for training. In general, it is the disabled individual's responsibility to inform the respective Human Resources Office that an accommodation is needed. When accommodation is requested, Saint Louis University will make every reasonable attempt to meet the request for accommodation or provide a reasonable alternative when to do so will impose an undue hardship on the organization or present a direct threat to the individual or others. Identification of a disability is voluntary, and refusal to provide it will not subject a person to discharge or disciplinary action.
Medical information obtained is to be kept confidential.
All medical records will be kept separate from personnel records. To ensure equal consideration for all disabled individuals, each Human Resources Office will coordinate all requests for reasonable accommodations by disabled staff, faculty, and applicants. The Human Resources Office will fulfill the obligation to bargain in good faith when an accommodation is requested for a bargaining unit position. 2.0 Services to Students 2.1 Saint Louis University opens its programs and educational services to all qualified candidates without regard to their disability.
