Almost 50 years after the passage of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Catholic College has failed to prioritize accessibility despite the struggles that people with disabilities face on the campus. Carroll College has included accessibility in the Master Plan for the College, but has refused to create an action plan or designate personnel to oversee this process. Students, alum, former faculty, and community members have come together to tell their stories regarding the inaccessibility of the College. We will be sharing these stories here on our website. A new story will be available each day during the week of March 9, 2020. Please check them out to learn about the experience of people with disabilities at Carroll College.

Carroll College student, Taylor Tyson, talks about her experience as a student with a disability explaining that “π’Šπ’• π’˜π’‚π’” 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 π’•π’‰π’Šπ’” π’˜π’‰π’π’π’† π’ƒπ’Šπ’ˆ 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓 π’Žπ’† 𝒕𝒐 π’ˆπ’†π’• 𝒂 π’“π’π’π’Ž 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑰 π’˜π’‚π’” 𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒕𝒐…𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓.”
