Complaint Resolution

ADA Coordinator - Office of Equal Opportunity Compliance

The Office of Equal Opportunity Compliance serves as a focal point of Temple's institution-wide efforts for equal opportunity, equal access and affirmative action, providing direction through information, assistance and complaint investigation.

DRS Grievance Procedure

Although staff attempt to work collaboratively with students in facilitating disability-related services, it is possible that misunderstanding or disagreements may arise. If you have difficulty with academic adjustments approved by Disability Resources, please contact the person who initially made the recommendations. If a disagreement about the appropriateness of recommendations continues, speak with the DRS Director. 

Students who are not able to resolve a problem at DRS should request an appointment with the Senior Associate Dean of Students at 215-204-7188. Read the full grievance procedure.

Temple University's Affirmative Action Plan For The Employment Of Persons with Disabilities

Temple University is subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act and to Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which requires employers to extend equal employment opportunities to qualified people with disabilities.

If you have a disability and would like to be considered under the affirmative action plan, inform the Office of Equal Opportunity Compliance. Disclosure is voluntary. The information obtained shall be kept confidential, except that (I) supervisors and managers may be informed regarding restrictions on the work or duties of disabled individuals and regarding necessary accommodations; (II) medical and safety personnel may be informed if the condition might require emergency treatment; and (III) government officials investigating Temple's compliance with the Acts shall be informed.

If you would like to be considered under the Affirmative Action Plan for the employment of persons with disabilities, please contact our office at (215) 204-8890, or by e-mail: sfoehl@temple.edu, or rosa.parks-green@temple.edu.

For disability accommodations, employees should contact Deirdre Culbreath-Walton, Human Resources at (215) 926-2296, or deirdre.walton@temple.edu.
