Director of Disability Resources for Students

The University of Washington Bothell (UW Bothell), one of three campuses of the University of Washington, invites inquiries, nominations, and applications for its next director of disability resources for students (DRS).

As a member of the enrollment management and student affairs (EMSA) division, the director leads the office of disability resources for students, providing strategic vision and oversight. The director provides guidance and consultation on services and accommodations for students and serves as a subject matter expert, educating those throughout the university on issues pertinent to universal design, disability access, and reasonable accommodations. 

The director of DRS will develop and implement inclusively designed educational activities for the UW Bothell campus and ensure compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and other state and federal laws regarding access for students with disabilities. Notably, the director is a liaison and core member of the tri-campus DRS community between the University of Washington Seattle, the University of Washington Tacoma, and the University of Washington Bothell. The tri-campus community of disability resource leaders promote compliance, equity, and effective communication across all campuses. 

The director will serve on important university committees, providing consultation as needed regarding students with disabilities for the university CARE team, former quarter drop and tuition forfeiture committee, housing, and space planning for the campus.
