The national Partnerships in Employment (PIE) National Transition Systems Change Project was established in 2011 by the Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. This five-year project focuses on improving, developing, and implementing policies and practices that raise community expectations and overall employment outcomes for youth with intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD). Now in the last phase of the funding cycle, the eight state projects involved in the PIE initiative (Alaska, California, Iowa, Mississippi, Missouri, New York, Tennessee, and Wisconsin) are uniquely positioned to provide youth employment recommendations to federal, state, and local agencies. In this document, we share several of the findings …

Withdrawn Accommodations, Nicole B. Porter
Withdrawn Accommodations, Nicole B. Porter
Faculty Publications
This Article addresses a phenomenon that often arises in reasonable accommodation cases under the Americans with Disabilities Act, a phenomenon I call “withdrawn accommodations.” This occurs when an employer has agreed to provide an accommodation to an employee with a disability and then later withdraws the accommodation. Employers might withdraw accommodations for a couple of reasons. First, an employer might withdraw an accommodation because it finds out that the employee’s need for the accommodation is permanent, rather than temporary, as the employer might have first believed. Second, a new supervisor might arrive on the scene, and decide to withdraw a …
The Difficulty Accommodating Health Care Workers, Nicole B. Porter
The Difficulty Accommodating Health Care Workers, Nicole B. Porter
Faculty Publications
I argue that accommodating health care workers is difficult, perhaps more difficult than accommodating other workers, and I explain why. First, in Part II, I will describe the characteristics of health care jobs that make those jobs difficult for individuals with disabilities. These characteristics include: (1) most health care jobs are physically rigorous, often involving heavy lifting, pushing, and walking and standing for long periods of time; (2) most health care jobs involve long hours and/or shift work; and (3) the majority of jobs in the health care industry are safety-sensitive positions, with life or death often hanging in the …

When a worker complains about discrimination, federal law is supposed to protect that worker from later retaliation. Recent scholarly attention focuses on how courts limit retaliation claims by narrowly framing the causation inquiry. A larger threat to retaliation law is developing in the lower courts. Courts are declaring a wide swath of conduct as insufficiently serious to constitute retaliation.
Many courts hold that it is legal for an employer to threaten to fire a worker, to place the worker on administrative leave, or to negatively evaluate the worker because she complained about discriminatory conduct. Even if the worker has evidence …

There’S No Place Like Work: How Modern Technology Is Changing The Judiciary’S Approach To Work-At-Home Arrangements, As An Ada Accommodation,, Benjamin D. Johnson
Law Student Publications
This comment addresses the extent to which the evolving definition of the "workplace" has upset the courts' traditional approach to teleworking as a reasonable accommodation for disabled employees under the ADA and ultimately necessitated changes in the reasonable accommodation framework.
