The University of Chicago welcomes students, faculty, other academic appointees, staff, postdoctoral researchers, and visitors with disabilities. Equal Opportunity Programs, in partnership with Student Disability Services (SDS), Employee and Labor Relations, and the Center for Digital Accessibility, works to ensure that the University is an accessible and welcoming working and learning environment for individuals with disabilities.
In addition, the University of Chicago will not tolerate discrimination or harassment on the basis of disability.
