    Section 504 and Title II Coordinator

    Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 are federal laws concerning the rights of individuals with disabilities and prohibiting discrimination on the basis of disability at the College.

    Jessica Murdoch, Interim Director of Human Resources and Affirmative Action, is the College’s designated Section 504 and Title II Coordinator.

    Any member of the College community who has questions or concerns regarding the College’s compliance with its obligations under Section 504 or Title II, or who believes that he, she or another has been discriminated against on the basis of a disability, may contact Ms. Murdoch in the Human Resources and Affirmative Action Office at (978) 665-3172, or may file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights, at (617) 289-0111.

    Institutional Discrimination Complaint Procedures

    The Massachusetts State Colleges have established specific internal Discrimination Complaint Procedures to help resolve claims and complaints of discrimination, including disability discrimination, on the campus. These Procedures will serve as a system of review and resolution for both informal claims and formal complaints of discrimination. Any member of the College community and/or any applicant for employment who believes she/he has been a victim of discrimination, discriminatory harassment or retaliation may initiate an informal claim or formal complaint as outlined in the Discrimination Complaint Procedures.

    Hard copies of the Discrimination Complaint Procedures are available in the Human Resources and Affirmative Action Office. The Discrimination Complaint Procedures are also available at: www.fsc.edu/humanres/aaeop.cfm.

    Further advice or information regarding the College’s Discrimination Complaint Procedures may be obtained by contacting Jessica Murdoch, Interim Director, Human Resources and Affirmative Action, and Designated Coordinator for Title IX, Section 504 and Title II of the ADA, at (978) 665-3172.
