Information for Instructors

 As Duke University continues its efforts to welcome individuals with disabilities, the number of qualified students with disabilities has continued to increase. In order for the University to ensure timely exploration of necessary accommodations, academic units have identified individuals to serve as Disability Service Liaisons who work in collaboration with the Student Disability Access Office.

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.

Additional Resources and Information

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.
