The Provost Advisory Committee on Resources for Students and Employees with Disabilities comprises faculty, students and administrative staff appointed annually by the Provost. This university wide committee helps to assess the needs of this population and recommend policies, processes and resources for improving the physical and functional aspects of accessibility for the campus community. The major issues for this committee include access to facilities, resources to support special needs, and communication of special needs within the Yale community.
Every member of the Advisory Committee serves on a sub-committee to gather and prepare information focused on specific concerns.
The Facilities Access Group helps to assess the accessibility of buildings and grounds. It works with other departments to review new and renovated facilities for accessibility and evaluates needs and priorities for annual budgeting recommendations. It develops and monitors supplementary standards for planning accessible facilities and for maintenance of accessible facilities once they have been achieved.
The Education, Awareness and Education group develops educational programs and publicity which broadens the awareness of special needs and resources for persons with disabilities.
The Service group helps to assess the special needs for services, such as transportation and access along paths-of-travel, and state-of-the-art resources for assistive technologies. It further recommends guidelines to make these services available for persons dependent on prompt and timely services.
A Technology Access group identifies accessibility issues related to the use of electronic resources at Yale University and works within the institutional framework to partner with relevant units responsible for their design and delivery to increase awareness of the issues and to recommend options for accommodations.
