The Americans with Disabilities Act Committee is a campus-wide group with the primary
goal of promoting and advancing University policies and procedures that provide access
to employment, services, and programs, which result in equal opportunity for individuals
with disabilities. The committee's name reflects the Americans with Disabilities Act
of 1990, which prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in employment,
public services and transportation, public accommodations, and telecommunications
services. The Director for Equity and Compliance serves as the ADA Coordinator for
the University.
The ADA Committee supports the existing University services via consultation and education.
The committee meets twice a semester and includes members from the faculty, non-instructional
staff, and students. Membership is open to any interested person at the University.
The committee works to provide bridges to facilitate better understanding between
disabled and nondisabled persons and to enable all members of the campus community
to benefit from improved educational opportunities. (ADA Committee Members)
