The University recently adopted changes to the Non Discrimination Policy Statements for Publications including Accessibility Statements for University Events and Section 1557 Statements for Health Programs (previously entitled Non-Discrimination Policy Statements for Publications, Printed Material and Electronic Media), effective June 13, 2017.
This is a University-wide policy that requires University publications that describe or invite participation in UConn programs or activities to contain one of the non-discrimination statements set forth at http://policy.uconn.edu/2011/05/31/non-discrimination-policy-statements/. Departments producing publications subject to the policy must incorporate the required non-discrimination statement into existing, revised and new material. Departments should review and develop a strategy to incorporate the non-discrimination statement into existing publications while operating with the understanding any new or revised publications will include the required statement.
Event-specific publications must also include an accessibility statement intended to ensure an opportunity for participants with disabilities to request accommodations and fully participate in University events or activities. The following is the Event Accessibility Statement required for all University-sponsored events that may be found in this policy.
If you require an accommodation to participate in this event, please contact (INSERT SPONSORING DEPARTMENT CONTACT NAME) at (INSERT TELEPHONE AND EMAIL CONTACT INFORMATION) by (SPECIFIC DATE (suggestion: at least 5 days in advance)).
