State of Accessibility Services
There is an office hidden away in the Academic Resource Center that many people are completely unaware of: the Office of Student Accessibility Services. For some, it is very much a part of the back-to-school routine. This routine is second nature, just like the annual visit to Staples before the first day of school. Students who enter the office are greeted with a bowl of dark-chocolate Reese’s peanut butter cups placed strategically by the desk of Accessibility Coordinator Lillian Liebenthal, who asks, “What can I help you with today?”
Commentary on 1994’s “Poor turnout”
It’s quite remarkable to note that over 20 years later, our curriculum still lacks any “diversity” requirement, especially when one considers how many times such a requirement has been demanded and come up in conversations around the curriculum. While Connections requires a first year seminar, two semesters of language, and several ambiguous “modes of inquiry,” there is no requirement for students to explicitly study power, oppression, racism etc.
