To clarify, this event is aimed at university administrators. Several disability studies faculty members are taking part in panels along with campus access folks to ask university administrators to commit to revising policies.
(It is hosted by my campus, initiated by our campus administration).
Thanks for sharing. I am skeptical, but hoping to move the needle a bit.
Warmly,
Cassandra
