Disabilities

The Office of Institutional Diversity and Equity (IDE) works in partnership with offices and individuals across the institution to provide resources that promote access, respect, inclusiveness, and community in all of Dartmouth's working and learning environments. Dartmouth does not discriminate on the basis of disability in admission or access to, or employment in, its programs or activities.

The campus 504/ADA Coordinator and colleagues in the office provide institutional oversight and coordination of the College's compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and additional applicable federal, state and local regulations regarding access to the institution's programs and services for persons with disabilities.

Our work includes:

  • consulting and collaborating with departments and schools across the institution on access and disability compliance for students, employees and guests, including developing policies and practice, reviewing the accessibility of programs and services, and evaluating facilities access.
  • providing educational and training opportunities to enhance awareness of disability issues and institutional commitments and obligations
  • receiving and responding to requests for ADA accommodations from applicants for employment and employees, to barrier removal and non-discrimination complaints on the basis of disability and to requests for information about campus access.

Contact Brenda Taite, IDE's Acting Associate Director of Equal Opportunity & Affirmative Action for the campus, at 603-646-3197,
or Brenda K.Taite@dartmouth.edu, for more information.
