LET’S provided feedback on, and delivered a workshop for SFU staff and a representative from Equity Compass on SFU’s Accessibility Plan. The plan has now been released.
As their website reads:
“Aligned with the Equity Compass and informed by the perspectives and needs of SFU students, faculty and staff with disabilities, the Accessibility Plan describes the changes needed to transition towards a more accessible university. Through the Accessibility Secretariat and Committee and the Equity Office, SFU will refine the plan each year, responding to the provincial standards and community feedback. An annual implementation plan will define milestones and responsibilities, supporting both resource allocation and reporting.
The initial action program spans five (5) years, with the most pressing steps highlighted upfront. While improvements in academics, operations and environment will ultimately inspire culture change, we also highlight actions to foster more directly a culture of inclusivity and care.”
