Disability discrimination is the denial of opportunity or unequal treatment based solely on disability and not on actual skills or abilities. The Minnesota Civil Rights Ordinance prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in these areas: education, employment, labor, lending, public accommodations and services, professional organization membership and services, and housing. A person who suspects discrimination can contact the Department in person or by phone. Sign interpretation, with advance notice, is possible for clients who are deaf or hard of hearing.
