Hassan writes, "Admission is not the same as inclusion. When a disabled person is admitted to a university, the admission letter does not replace the rights, accessibility, and inclusion they need to succeed. Accessibility is a right, not a privilege.”

In "Access Beyond Admission: A Lived Experience Analysis of Physical Accessibility in Higher Education," Nigerian university student Hassan Aliyu explains how governments, universities, and campus planners can ensure universities are accessible to disabled students.

We exist because of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and to build upon it. As many in the disability community say - it’s the floor, not the ceiling!💜
I had a great time speaking on the Building Narrative, Credibility, and Community in Social Insurance Policy panel. I was glad to share some of our work at @disabilitypolicy.bsky.social. Thank you, National Academy of Social Insurance, for a great discussion!
This is me because the @disabilitypolicy.bsky.social contributors and editors are hard at work this week ensuring more publications are ready to go! While you’re here, check out our About Us page! So many new team members 😊 www.disabilitypolicyfoundry.org/about-us
