A response on behalf of President Lynn Mahoney to the All-University Committee on Disability’s open letter lists four steps of a plan for disability justice to create an institutional shift in how disability is perceived.
The AUCD, a subcommittee of the Academic Senate, published an open letter to Mahoney in April, calling for disability justice to be supported as a culture rather than simply meeting accommodations.
Bobby King, the university’s director of communications, provided a statement regarding a course of action on behalf of Mahoney.
These steps include integrating disability into existing campus equity centers and collaborating with the Division of Equity and Inclusion, having Associate Vice President for Disability Access and Student Well-being Dai To join the extended cabinet, creating a campus-wide survey on the campus’s accessibility, and incorporating disability justice in curricula.
