UW-Madison earns high marks for accessibility

New Mobility magazine’s September issue ranks UW–Madison as one of the most accessible campuses in the nation for people with disabilities.

UW–Madison has “commendable accommodations for students with disabilities,” says the magazine, which ranks UW–Madison fourth in the nation. The magazine quotes graduate student Ken Adell in praise of the paratransit system and the McBurney Disability Resource Center’s impressive array of workshops and other accommodations.

Disability awareness is high here, Adell adds: “The doors are basically being blown open. It’s incredible, and the university system is part of that movement.”
