Our principle in reforming our policy for student support is to target resources where they are most needed. That means the largest Access Bursaries will go to those who need them and particular groups will be exempt from paying the Graduate Endowment. We will also continue to pay specific allowances such as the Lone Parents' Grant and the Disabled Students' Allowance. (A list of these allowances is given in Annex B ). This principle follows, we believe, from the Committee of Inquiry's guiding principles and its recommendation of targeting support towards 'equity groups'. There are, however, a number of other measures that we intend to implement.

Extractions: Compliance with the Disability Discrimination Act Notwithstanding the efforts made to date by the various funding councils for higher education, a strong case can be made for seeking to include universities and colleges within the terms of the DDA, either by voluntary compliance or by amendment to the Act. One course of action which is open to universities and colleges would be for institutions, collectively through their representative bodies or singly as appropriate, to agree voluntarily to meet the terms of the DDA and to act on its provisions accordingly. A second course of action would be to place a duty upon higher education funding councils to secure suitable provision to meet the needs of students with disabilities. Such a requirement would need to be carefully worded to protect academic autonomy, and would probably require modification to existing legislation. It would almost certainly have financial implications. A comprehensive approach to disability within a strategic framework Universities display no reluctance to create space for the development of policies on disability. Yet they are faced with major dilemmas of priority in managing their general responsibilities within a parsimonious resource environment. Under these conditions, matters of disability can be swept away by competing claims on institutional attention. This might be avoided if policies on disability at the sectoral and institutional level were to be developed within a strategic framework.

The Committee also acknowledges the generosity of University of British Columbia Disability Resource Centre for giving permission for Brock University to use considerable portions of its publication "Teaching Students with Disabilities Guidebook". As a University we are committed to working toward the goal of creating an accessible and welcoming environment for students who have disabilities. Although a great deal has already been done, further efforts are being made to improve the physical accessibility of the campus; a priority list of existing, inaccessible structures is being developed for action. Accessibility also means program access and, on an ongoing basis, the University endeavours to make the learning environment a rewarding and enriching one for students with various disabilities.

Extractions: For immediate release Accessibility Centre opens in UW library WATERLOO, Ont. The University of Waterloo library today opened a state-ofthe-art Accessibility Centre to give disabled students better access to the UW library system's resources and services. The centre is a dedicated area in the Dana Porter Library located in the middle of the campus. The centre is also conveniently located near the main entrance to the library, is served by its own librarian and features a variety of special equipment designed to help people with a wide range of disabilities, including low vision, diminished hearing, limited mobility and learning disabilities. "The University of Waterloo has been a leader in providing services for students with disabilities," said UW president Douglas Wright. "This new library centre is another very positive step in linking the university to people who have special needs. It ensures that these students will have access to information as independently as possible." He added that the centre is more proof of the serious commitment UW has given to the needs of students with disabilities. "We've had a commitment to this long before it was fashionable or legislated." Florence Thomlison, coordinator of services for persons with disabilities, said the centre evolved out a special collaboration between the Library and the Office for Persons with Disabilities. She singled out the library administration for special praise in making the new centre a reality. "The library is already cramped for space, but they've given an attractive, big area to establish the Accessibility Centre, which is among the best in the country based on what we can see that's available elsewhere," Thomlison said. Murray Shepherd, University Librarian, added: "The opening of the Library Accessibility Centre is the culmination of a long-standing and continuing commitment to the library: to provide the highest quality information service to all students at the University of Waterloo. We are grateful to the coordinator of services for persons with disabilities for the bold and creative means by which the funding from the provincial government has been converted to a facility to fulfil this commitment." Principal funding for the centre came from the Ministry of Colleges and Universities. Among the special kinds of equipment installed in the centre are a Kurzweil Reader (a machine that reads text aloud and downloads it to a computer disk), a microcomputer with voice output capabilities, a large-print computer, a Brailler Printer, a closed-circuit TV magnifier and four- track recorders. The new centre's librarian is Jane Forgay (Librarian, Services for Persons with Disabilities). Forgay's role is to answer disabled students' special needs and concerns regarding the whole UW library system. That includes the Dana Porter Library (where the Accessibility Centre is located), the Davis Centre Library (for engineering, science and mathematics), the University Map and Design Libraries (heavily used by environmental studies students) and the Optometry Learning Resource Centre. Other user services and information staff are also on hand to handle more basic requests for assistance. The library system already features a number of facilities for patrons who are disabled. These include access ramps for wheelchairs, elevators with hand rails that are wheelchair accessible, and wheelchair accessible washrooms. The quality of Waterloo's campus-wide facilities has become quite widely known and, as a result, there are now over 430 students with disabilities studying at UW. The services required range from relatively minor assistance to complete 24-hour attendant care in the Village Residence independent living centre for those who require assistance for their daily activities. -30- Further information: Florence Thomlison, (519) 885-1211, ext. 4625 Murray Shepherd, (519) 885-1211, ext. 2281 From: Martin Van Nierop, News Bureau (519) 888-4881 Release no: 171 November 24, 1992

Extractions: Disability Now , September 1, 2002. Most people believe that disabled children should be educated in mainstream schools , a survey showed today. The NOP poll for the Disability Rights Commission came out as new legislation requiring schools to ensure disabled youngsters are not disadvantaged took effect for the new term. However, teachers warned that some schools are not prepared for the extension of the Disability Discrimination Act to cover their activities. Two thirds of British people thought disabled children should be taught in mainstream schools, NOP found. Half said teachers should be trained to understand disability and 70 per cent. thought perceptions can be changed through integration. DRC chairman, Bert Massie, said: 'It's heartening that the public believes disabled people should be given the same opportunities as others. Education is the key to changing attitudes and is fundamental to disabled people being included in the workplace and throughout society'. Eamonn O'Kane, general secretary of the National Association of Schoolmasters and Union of Women Teachers said putting disabled children in normal classes was the right thing to do. However, schools needed the resources to be able to adapt their buildings and take on specialist staff, he stressed.
