Yes. Mississippi State policies and federal laws prohibit discrimination against persons with disabilities. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination and requires reasonable accommodations for disabled individuals in employment and public services, among other things. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 bars discrimination in connection with federally funded programs or activities, including those at MSU.
University policies reflect MSU’s commitment to compliance with these requirements. The university’s policy on Students with Disabilities prohibits discrimination in educational and other programs and outlines the means by which students may seek reasonable accommodations for disabilities. The university’s policy on Reasonable Accommodations in Employment describes the means by which employees may seek work-related disability accommodations.
