medical conditions, or employees who are victims of domestic violence/stalking/sex offenses. This Policy also prohibits retaliation for reporting or opposing discrimination, or cooperating with an investigation of a discrimination complaint. Further details on university policies are available on the web site at: REVIEW OF PERSONNEL PROCESSES Our goal is to ensure all personnel activities are consistent with the goal of providing equal employment opportunity for employees and applicants who are Individuals with Disabilities and/or Protected Veterans. To that end, we periodically review our personnel processes for potential barriers to employment, training, and promotion. The College asserts that its personnel processes do not stereotype Individuals with Disabilities or Protected Veterans or otherwise limits their access to jobs for which they are qualified; further, the College makes efforts to assure Individuals with Disabilities and Veterans are represented in media including college publications and web sites. We invite employees to self-identify through an on-line system available in CUNY’s Employee Self-Service Portal. We invite applicants to self-identify through CUNY’s online recruiting system with each application. The University maintains this data in its system of record with appropriate security measures for confidentiality of individual information. REVIEW OF PHYSICAL AND MENTAL QUALIFICATIONS Our goal is to ensure that all physical and mental qualifications and requirements are job-related and consistent with business necessity and safe performance of the job. We periodically review the College’s physical and mental qualifications and requirements as they relate to employment, training, and promotion. We will repeat a review of a given position when there is a change in working conditions that may influence the job's physical or mental requirements. Examples may include new work requirements or new equipment. As new job qualifications are established, the College will review them to ensure that they would not screen out qualified Individuals with Disabilities or Protected Veterans. To the extent that such a situation might occur, the College takes steps to ensure the requirements are essential functions of these particular jobs. The University’s Civil Service unit reviews job requirements for potential issues prior to issuing revised Civil Service specifications. The University also provides a checklist for planning a recruiting effort that includes a sign-off on a review of job qualifications. REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION The College provides reasonable accommodations to physical and mental limitations of applicants and employees who are Individuals with Disabilities or Disabled Veterans. As per CUNY Procedures for Implementing Reasonable Accommodation and Academic Adjustments, the Human Resources Director is responsible for responding to requests by applicants for employment, current employees and visitors. Anyone may request an accommodation by contacting the Human Resources Office.
