Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

June 24, 2015 by

Dear UMW Faculty and Staff,

Because we do business with the government, we must reach out to hire and provide equal opportunity to qualified people with disabilities.  UMW values diversity and seeks to ensure the success of all members of the university community.  To help us measure how well we are doing, we are asking you to tell us if you have a disability or if you ever had a disability.  Completing this form is voluntary, but we hope that you will choose to fill it out.

Your answer will not be used against you in any way.  Because a person may become disabled at any time, we are required to ask all of our employees to update their information every five years.

Information about workplace accommodations for your review, or you may contact the AAEEO Officer at extension 1214.
