Guided by the belief that people with disabilities are assets to the university,
UIC is committed to full inclusion and participation of people with disabilities
in all aspects of university life. We seek to provide an academic, social and
physical environment that makes disabled people integral to the diversity of
perspectives that is vital to an academic community.
UIC supports the principles of universally accessible design, alternative communication formats, and the expression of disability community and pride. At all levels of the university, UIC promotes equal opportunity, fair treatment, and the elimination of barriers for qualified individuals with disabilities.
Implementation
An advisory committee will develop an implementation plan in accordance with the Statement of Commitment to Persons with Disabilities. The committee will monitor progress towards these goals and will seek advice from disability groups on campus. The Office for Access and Equity will report progress and accomplishments on an annual basis and the report will be made public on the campus Web site under Disability Resources.
