Invitation to join UBC’s Accessibility Committee
22 February, 2023
UBC is taking steps to establish an Accessibility Committee to support disability inclusion and guide future direction at the university. Students, staff, and faculty are invited to apply to serve on the inaugural committee.
The committee will be tasked with providing ongoing guidance and advice to the university on the identification, removal and prevention of barriers to accessibility and to help fulfill the university’s legal obligations and commitments to disability inclusion and justice principles.
Of the 18-member committee, the UBC Executive will appoint six members for key offices and hold three seats for student leaders representing the Alma Mater Society (AMS), Graduate Student Society (GSS), and Students’ Union of Okanagan (SUO).
Nine at-large UBC community members will be selected through this open call for applications, of which there shall be at least two students, two staff, and two faculty members. Apply by March 13.
