ABSTRACT

This chapter investigates the process and extents to which disability has been incorporated into the diversity space on one college campus. It draws on a data set that helps depict the campus climate in terms of the relative marginalization of disability within existing strategies around diversity and inclusion. The chapter outlines a narrative account of a series of efforts pushing for the integration of disability into existing diversity work on campus. The student comments were coded following a grounded theory approach; five themes of exclusion/access for disabled students emerged from the data: general exclusion, built environment, social exclusion, professor/staff treatment, and curricular exclusion. These responses suggest that students, on the one hand, see the university as making visible overtures toward embracing diversity of certain social identities and, on the other hand, that disability is not a valued part of those efforts. The chapter also describes a constellation of experiences or "moments" that demonstrate institutional resistance to calls for access.
