The McGill Accessibility Strategy Working Group met over the 2022-2023 Academic year to fulfill the following mandate:
- identify and seek to remove or reduce barriers to accessibility at McGill for persons with disabilities.
- develop and recommend specific, measurable, ambitious, and feasible goals that will enhance accessibility for students, faculty, and staff at McGill, which are aligned with the University’s Strategic EDI Plan.
- identify and propose resources and measures needed to ensure the success of the Accessibility Strategy and accountability in its implementation.
- ensure that all five elements of the Strategic EDI Plan are accounted for in McGill’s Accessibility Strategy:
- Student Experience
- Research and Knowledge
- Outreach
- Workforce
- Space (physical and digital)
- hold open consultations with members of the McGill community to crowdsource ideas and perspectives that should find reflection in the Accessibility Strategy.
