Disabled university students, as well as disabled faculty, staff, and other community members, face an array of challenges in conducting their studies and in navigating their daily lives. The authors relay their experiences as disabled members of a university community, and recount the work they did to gather information about the experiences of disabled people at the university, and to find a group intended to creatively and supportively address the shortcomings of the institution in meeting the needs of disabled people on campus. Throughout, the authors pay attention to the ways in which disability acts as a significant factor of marginalization for members of institutions, often in interaction with other marginalizing factors.
