We love seeing disability-focused stories in science outlets! This article highlights some of the ongoing challenges that come up when academic institutions don’t make accessibility a priority.

However, the process is often subjective. Scientists report that academic institutions tend to focus on complying with the letter of the law, holding the ADA as the gold standard rather than viewing it as a minimum criterion and actively supporting the success of students and researchers with disabilities.
