UConn Health Committee on Access and Accommodations

UConn Health is committed to achieving equal educational, employment and health care opportunities and full participation for all members of its community, including persons with disabilities. The UConn Health Committee on Access and Accommodation is focused on assuring UConn Health is positioned to meet this goal. The Committee's primary function is to promote ongoing assessment and awareness of goals, needs, and requirements related to access and accommodation at UConn Health. It considers a range of compliance issues with ADA and other legislation related to disabilities and accommodation. It serves to facilitate coordination across all of the units and offices that have a role in assuring appropriate access and accommodation in all UConn Health services and activities. It also serves to continuously improve UConn Health’s performance by identifying best practices and developing approaches to implementing them, and devising and facilitating implementation of solutions to problems.

Discrimination Complaint Procedures

The Office of Institutional Equity (OIE) encourages all members of the University community to partner in ensuring an environment free of discrimination at all University-related activities and in the working and learning environment. The University forbids all forms of disability discrimination, including the failure to provide reasonable accommodations and discrimination or harassment based on physical or mental disabilities. To that end, incidents of discrimination or discriminatory harassment (including disability discrimination, and failure to provide a reasonable accommodation) by University employees should be reported to OIE at 860-679-3563 or via email at equity@uconn.edu, or visit the OIE Investigations website.
