Office of Chancellor E-mail on ADA

Date: July 15, 2010
To: Members of the Campus Community
From: Robert A. Easter, Chancellor and Provost (Interim)
Subject: Americans with Disabilities Act
The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has long been a national leader and pioneer in providing access and accommodations for individuals with disabilities. Our renovated Nugent Hall continues that leadership by providing accessibility that goes beyond the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. Nugent Hall will now accommodate students with severe physical disabilities who currently reside in Beckwith Hall.

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is proud to partner with organizations, agencies, companies and other educational institutions in celebrating the 20th anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Illinois celebrates and recognizes the progress that has been made by reaffirming the principals of equality and inclusion and recommitting our efforts to reach full ADA compliance. For more information, please visit the following website: 20th Anniversary of the ADA. I encourage all units to continue their work to improve access for students, faculty, staff and visitors to our campus to meet the spirit of the ADA.
