The Paul K. Longmore Institute on Disability will be separating from San Francisco State University on Monday due to a lack of funding. SFSU’s budget cuts have been impacting various things from class options to sports programs. Centers and institutes aren’t immune as they’ve been gradually required to support themselves more than usual, according to Emily Beitiks, the institute’s interim director. The institute is a hub for disability studies and functions as a community space for people with disabilities. It was named after Paul K. Longmore, who was a history professor and specialized in the history of people with disabilities and later became the director of the institute in 1996. 🔗 Read more at link in bio. ✍️: Jazlyn Wong (jjazlynwong_) 📸: Gabriel Carver (issa.gabe) #sfsu #sfstate #paulklongmore #longmoreinstitute #disabilityculture
