Disability Accommodation

Washington and Lee University is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to qualified employees with physical or mental disabilities, in accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act. The University intends that these procedures will facilitate an interactive process of dialogue and timely exchange of information between the employee and the Manager of Employee Leaves and Disability Accommodations (or designee).

Employees are expected to perform the essential functions of their jobs in a safe and effective manner, and to discuss with their supervisor any circumstances that may impact their ability to do so. The University may require a Fitness for Duty Evaluation ("FFDE") conducted by an independent, licensed health care provider of an employee’s physical or mental capacities to determine the employee’s ability to perform essential job functions.

Washington and Lee University School of Law is committed to providing equal access to educational opportunities to qualified students with physical or mental disabilities, in accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
