Office of Human Resources: Mary Previte, Employee Wellbeing Specialist, is responsible for approving and monitoring reasonable accommodation requests made by University personnel and applicants, in alignment with Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act and Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Requests for work accommodations are made in writing to the Office of Human Resources, which consults with appropriate officials to consider the request. Once an accommodation is granted in the employment context, its effectiveness is periodically monitored by both the employee and the Office of Human Resources, in collaboration with the supervisor. If, at some point, the accommodation ceases to be effective in enabling the person to perform the job or is no longer deemed to be necessary (upon medical documentation), alternative accommodation is sought if appropriate. To contact the Coordinator, email mary.previte@uri.edu or call (401) 874-2684.
