    SUBJECT: ADA Compliance and New Initiatives of the ADA Coordinator

    In July 2007, the Department of Human Resources' Office of Labor Relations
    assumed responsibility for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance
    for the Boulder campus. Since that time, there have been several
    programmatic initiatives undertaken to create a visible and fully
    operational ADA compliance program for the Boulder campus. These new
    initiatives include development of Guidelines for Disability Access and
    Accommodation, an application process for employees who wish to apply for
    accommodations, and centralized funding to help departments cover the costs
    of accommodations for their employees.

    The campus ADA Coordinator is Michael Roseberry, a graduate of the
    University of Colorado, School of Law and an investigator in the Office of
    Discrimination and Harassment. The ADA Coordinator provides
    disability-related information, services and resources for faculty and
    staff. The ADA Coordinator is responsible for providing reasonable
    accommodations for faculty and staff, educating the campus community about
    ADA compliance, and promoting equal access and opportunity for those with
    disabilities. Additionally, the ADA Coordinator, in conjunction with the
    Chancellor's Committee on Program Accessibility, addresses the structural
    accessibility needs of students, faculty and staff.

    The ADA Coordinator is located on the third floor of the Administrative and
    Research Center on the East Campus. Additional information about the
    services provided by the ADA Coordinator, including copies of the Guidelines
    and forms, can be found at http://www.colorado.edu/humres/ADA/, or by
    telephone at (303) 492-0956.
