Commission on Disabilities

UMD's Commission on Disabilities began in approximately 1992 as the UMD Americans with Disabilities Act Task Force, appointed to review the University's progress towards compliance with the ADA. The name changed in 1994-95 to become the Commission on Disabilities. As of spring 2024, the mission of the Commission on Disabilities is "to advocate for meaningful access and inclusiveness across campus for all people; to promote educational awareness of both visible and invisible disabilities; and to assure legal compliance with all regulations in the area of equity for individuals with disabilities."
