The University of North Carolina at Pembroke is subject to certain nondiscrimination and affirmative action recordkeeping and reporting requirements in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and Sections 503 and 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (as amended), for civil rights enforcement purposes. As a result of new regulations, the University is required to survey our current employees.
It is the policy of the University not to discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because he or she is a qualified individual with a disability. It is also the policy of the University to take affirmative action to employ all persons regardless of their status as qualified individuals with disabilities, and to base all employment decisions only on valid job requirements.
This policy applies to all employment actions, including but not limited to, recruitment, hiring, transfer, promotion, demotion, layoff, recall, termination, rates of pay or other forms of compensation, at all levels of employment.
The University of North Carolina at Pembroke invites applicants and employees to self-identify their status as an individual with a disability. The submission of this information is voluntary and refusal to provide it will not subject you to any adverse treatment. Any information obtained will be kept confidential and may only be used in accordance with the provisions of applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations.
Applicants and employees may voluntarily self-identify their disability status at any time. Applicants may provide this information through the University’s online application process. Employees may voluntarily provide this information by filling out the form below. Once you have filled out your form, you can bring it to Lumbee Hall, Room 347, or send it through campus mail to Dr. Nicolette Campus in the Human Resources Department.
We are required to periodically resurvey our employees every five years.
If you would like to request a reasonable accommodation, please contact Nicolette Campos at Nicolette.Campos@uncp.edu
FAQs:
Why am I being asked to fill out this form?
