Description
This section examines accessibility in University dining and housing.
Recommendations
| Provide relevant employees training regarding the university’s dining and housing related responsibilities and obligations under the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Fair Housing Act, and all disability-related California statutes, and case law. |
| Ensure that students are aware that they may request reasonable accommodations in student housing at any time during the year, and that they are informed of this in accessible formats. |
| Ensure that all employees are aware that costs associated with accommodations in student housing cannot be charged to the disabled student who requires them. |
| Confirm that relevant employees know the University’s process for receiving reasonable accommodations requests. |
| Confirm the following key items: communications systems in residential facilities are accessible to disabled people; all accessible exits at residential facilities are clearly marked; all alarms systems at residential facilities are both audible and strobing so that they are accessible to deaf/hard of hearing and blind/visually impaired people; elevator operation and communications systems are accessible to people with disabilities. |
TRAINING
Leads should take the training themselves, then assign it to those employees in their unit for whom they believe it is relevant. Assigning to all employees is recommended. Any processes, procedures or protocols recommended for development in the training should be created.
