ucaccessnow, UC Access Now brought UC's lack of accessible emergency planning & inaccessible evacuation routes to the attention of the Regents in July 2020. https://archive.org/details/disability-equity-and-justice-demands
We let @CalMatters know at that time, along with other media. They did not deem it worthy of coverage because they want to treat things as a human interest story rather than as systemic oppression & systemic failure.
This could have been dealt with years earlier if media had listened to us when we said this was a systemic problem, not just a problem for one or two disabled students. It shouldn't take a disabled student being in student government to get coverage of these issues. @academicchatter @disability
