HANDICAPPER AND VETERAN SELF-IDENTIFICATION

Each year, faculty and academic staff who have not identified their veteran and/or handicapper status are requested to complete a survey which requests this information. Participation in the survey is voluntary. In addition, every three years all faculty and academic staff are surveyed to allow each individual to update the information related to their veteran and/or handicapper status. Under state and federal laws, qualified individuals with a handicap must be provided with reasonable accommodations that do not impose undue hardship.

The surveys are conducted by the Office of Academic Personnel Records. The data is used to evaluate MSU’s efforts in providing equal access, promotional and equal employment opportunity to individuals in these groups.
