The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The accommodation statement is not exactly EEO; it's about reasonable accommodations. Might be considered boilerplate but it's a standard ADA statement. Might be okay to keep? Safer to remove? The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The accommodation statement is not exactly EEO but it's about accommodations for disabilities. Could be considered part of EEO. I'd remove it to be safe.
Thus we will not include "Reasonable accommodations may be made".
