Accessibility Action Plan - Student Consultation
The University is currently developing a new Accessibility Action Plan (AAP).
The AAP is a strategic document that outlines the University's commitment and actions to improve accessibility and the inclusion of students and staff with disability. The AAP aims to ensure that WSU is a place where everyone can thrive in a safe, supportive, inclusive learning and working environment.
Equity and Diversity want to hear from each part of our University community and we would like to invite Western students with disability to participate in this important project. Your participation will help us to understand current challenges and needs, as well as the opportunities and solutions for creating an inclusive and accessible environment for students and staff with disability at WSU.
