And it continues! The challenges of unequal access to education



This is what I am presently facing as I move into the final stages of my law degree. Things started off so well but since 2016, this university has started to slide backwards in its provision of accessibility services to students with special needs.

In short, what it advertises on its website is not exactly what it provides. It is no longer providing texts in alternate formats. Its virtual learning experience is far from being accessible. Statute books are not accessible
and come exam time it is extremely difficult to convert statute books in PDF formats that have not been appropriately tagged for accessible content.

Above all, it is becoming more difficult to extract timely responses from the special arrangements department.

I can only hope that this changes soon.

I'm Donna J. Jodhan, your friendly accessibility advisor, wishing you a terrific day!
