It's more accurate to frame this as administrators expecting faculty to pick up their slack in making institutions accessible to disabled people, which has been required by various laws for decades but largely flouted or treated with disingenuous "compliance" approach.

Too many faculty already treat disabled people as if they are "extra labor" when the problem is an ableist law-flouting status quo being treated as the norm, and university administrators routinely not budgeting for good pay, good staffing, good equipment, and good training to ensure that the status quo from now on is accessible and doesn't expect faculty & students to pick up top administrators' slack.

Here at UC, faculty association members and unionized academic workers have been working to get access needs into contracts. But it takes faculty organizing. And remains a battle as so many faculty don't see themselves as needing to organize or see it (without trying first) as not possible.

Dear Rutgers, please fire your headline writer because this is an actually important message (learn how autistics communicate instead of forcing us to mask) and I almost didn’t read the article because it read like “we just now learned autistics have emotions”

Stop raising my blood pressure please and thank you
