[CED/CD/EAT] FW: Limited English Proficiency

[Rodriguez, Dominic J - (drodriguez1)]

FYI - this is the first I'm hearing of this and will need to do some investigating as to how it impacts Extension and our programs across the state.

I will get clarity and provide an update next week.

Thank you,
Dominic

Subject: [Staff] Limited English Proficiency

Dear ALVSCE Faculty and Researchers,

The University of Arizona is committed ensuring that our programs and activities, normally provided in English, are accessible to Limited English Proficiency (LEP) persons and thus do not violate the Title VI prohibition against discrimination on the basis of national origin.

Therefore, upon request, the university will provide appropriate alternative non-English formats for persons with limited proficiency in English.

Requests for alternative language format should be made to the Office of Institutional Equity, at 888 N. Euclid Avenue, Room 203, (520) 621-9449 , or equity at arizona.edu.<https://equity.arizona.edu/>

Any LEP person who believes they have been denied meaningful access may contact the Director, Office of Institutional Equity, at 888 N. Euclid Avenue, Room 203, (520) 621-9449, or equity at arizona.edu. <https://equity.arizona.edu/>

For further information, please see the Institutional Equity Webpage<https://equity.arizona.edu/policies-procedures/limited-english-proficiency-lep>.  We have also placed a link to the LEP on our CALES Research webpage<https://research.cales.arizona.edu/?_gl=1*4ei15f*_ga*MjcyMjYxODQzLjE2ODA1NTMwNjM.*_ga_7PV3540XS3*MTY5NjYyNzM5MS4yMzUuMS4xNjk2NjI5OTY3LjUzLjAuMA..>.

Have a nice weekend!
