Do faculty and teaching staff have a responsibility to accommodate qualified students with disabilities?
Illinois State University, as a postsecondary institution, is required to provide reasonable accommodations to students with disabilities. This is mandated by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section 504 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 to make facilities, educational and co-curricular programs, campus activities and employment opportunities accessible to qualified individuals with disabilities. All faculty and teaching staff have a responsibility to ensure that each course is accessible. This accessibility is essential and should be considered in the forefront of course and technological planning.
