The State Department has announced a new policy making it easier for disabled individuals to qualify for Foreign Service positions. The change follows a 2006 lawsuit claiming the department was discriminating against disabled employees. Under the new policy, employees will only have to be cleared to work—with or without accommodations—at the four best-resourced posts. The agreement was approved by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and they will monitor its implementation for the next five years. Read the full story here.
