The Coordinator for University Disability Resources reports to the Provost and is responsible for ensuring that the University's policy on accommodations for students, faculty, and staff with disabilities is implemented appropriately.
The Coordinator is available to all members of the University community to discuss concerns about disability related issues. In addition, the Coordinator, often with the assistance of professionals in the community, can arrange for mobility instruction for those who are visually impaired, identify paths of travel for members of the community who use a wheelchair, and can provide maps of accessible routes on campus.
The Coordinator serves as Chair of the Advisory Committee on University Disability Resources and as a resource to local Disability Resource Coordinators. Anyone who would like to discuss the options and rights of individuals with disabilities or to learn about the University's responsibilities to individuals with disabilities should make an appointment with Kathy Sweetland, at 275-5550.
