Pregnancy Accommodations

Duke University is dedicated to providing an accessible and inclusive environment for all faculty and staff. This includes providing employees with reasonable accommodations to address limitations they may experience due to pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical issue to activities pursuant to the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act and the Americans with Disabilities Amendments Act.

Voluntary Self-Identification

Voluntarily self-identifying is a good thing - it's how things change. This video explains why companies doing business with the federal government ask job applicants and employees to voluntarily self-identify if they have a disability, and the important role that self-identifying plays in ensuring equal employment opportunity for people with disabilities.

Employment & Visitor Accommodations Office

The Disability Management System (DMS) is the office at Duke charged with the responsibility of working with qualified employees with disabilities in exploring possible coverage and associated necessary and appropriate accommodations for purposes of Section 504 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 and the ADA Amendments Act of 2008.

Should you have concerns or questions regarding employee accommodations and resources, please contact the Employment and Visitor Accommodations office within the Disability Management System (DMS).
