Employment Of Disabled Persons

In meeting its goals to hire two severely disabled persons established in the fiscal year 1987 Affirmative Action Program for Handicapped Individuals, the Institution hired four civil service employees with specified severe disabilities. At the end of fiscal year 1987, the Institution employed at least 33 civil service employees with severe disabilities, for a net increase of one.

Closely related to the direct employment of disabled persons is the employment of numerous disabled individuals on a contractual basis. The Institution employs approximately 60 disabled persons, the majority of whom are mentally retarded or possess developmental disabilities, as custodians, particularly night custodians.
