Milligan's offer to Keltner is a reasonable one because it is obvious that Keltner is not capable of performing at his peak and dealing with the patrons professionally during his depression episodes. Millgan wants to work with Keltner and doesn't believe in firing an employee if something else can be done to improve the situation. For this reason Millgan is offering reassignment to cataloguing for some time till Keltner finds a better drug that would more effective for his illness. This is the correct decision because it doesn't involve much interaction with patrons and hence there would be fewer complaints from those who need assistance in referencing section. Secondly it is also fair to Keltner because as a librarian, it goes in his favor if he has additional skills as well. It doesn't need to restrict his knowledge to referencing alone but use this opportunity to learn about cataloguing and this would give him deeper understanding of library sciences and he can become a greater asset to the library once he can overcome his illness. This would have a positive effect on his career because it would give him an additional skill, improve his knowledge of the library sciences and make him a multi-talented and multi-dimensional worker.

But legally speaking, he has no such obligation. He can choose to decline reassignment offer and keep working in the reference section but then he must understand that if he continues working the way he does, it is very much possible that he would be dismissed from his services because his condition is affecting his performance, employees' morale and also increasing the number of complaints patrons have against the library.
Keltner needs to see the situation from both perspectives, moral as well as legal because while morally he has an obligation to go along with University's plan as they are trying to be considerate but legally he can reject the offer. However if he accepts this offer, it can only benefit him in the long run even if it doesn't appeal to him right now. Secondly his persistent mood swings and unprofessional attitude is not making it any easier for the University to run its library efficiently and hence he needs to take the responsibility for that and accept the reassignment offer.
