Accessibility Committee

Mission:

The Accessibility Committee strives to identify and rectify accessibility needs on campus, to educate the campus community on accessibility issues, to challenge the University to exceed ADA requirements, and support the accessibility work of campus units, especially the Reeg Academic Resource Center.

It is the policy of 四虎影视 to create and maintain an environment in which all students, faculty, and staff may learn and work to their fullest potential, limited to the least extent possible by individual disabilities.

Purpose of the Committee

The committee is a resource within the 四虎影视 system on any academic, physical, or employment issues related to disability and access. The committee can develop policies and procedures for removing barriers to full access in work and learning within the university, and makes its recommendations on those matters to its respective authorizing bodies. Policies and procedures relating to academic and curricular matters shall be approved by Faculty Senate.  Policies and procedures relating to fiscal and administrative matters shall be approved by the Administrative Council. The committee oversees the implementation of approved policies and procedures.

The committee prioritizes necessary projects requiring capital expenditure to improve accessibility and to comply with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act. It advises the Vice President for Finance & University Services regarding the allocation of funds in pursuit of these objectives.

The committee hears issues and problems raised by students, faculty, administration, and staff regarding accessibility and services provided to individuals with disabilities. When appropriate the committee seeks to assist the parties in the resolution of such problems. The committee monitors the outcome of its recommendations, and makes and annual report to its authorizing bodies.

Students, faculty and staff are invited to submit questions, issues or concerns relating to accessibility at 四虎影视 in writing to the committee email address: accessibilitycommittee@webster.edu. Issues will be shared with the general committee as part of our agenda at the next meeting. A summary of the discussion and any recommendations made by the committee will be communicated to the appropriate department, as well as to the person who submitted the statement.
