EQUAL ACCESS
FOR MEMBERS WITH DISABILITIES
The Union will strive to provide full, fair and equal access for members with self-identified disabilities in activities, campaigns and services. The Union shall uphold the rights articulated in the declaration of students' rights.

- hold all Union organized, sponsored and endorsed events in locations that are physically accessible.
- make accommodations such as providing a sign language interpreter, assisted learning devices, enlarged print materials and physical modification to Union areas as requested.
- provide accessible transportation to off campus events.
- modify bylaws and policies concerning executive director duties and responsibilities as required.
- advertise an equal access statement on all materials announcing Union events.
