'Blatant disrespect and harm': Unreliable elevators highlight campus accessibility issues
By Preston Fore | Feb. 23
Hamilton Hall has two of the most unreliable elevators on campus. Eleanor Bolton, a sophomore studying political science, has been unable to attend some events for her major in Hamilton Hall due to the elevators often being out of service.
- This is one example of the reality many students, faculty and staff who use wheelchairs or have mobility issues face on campus.
- "The lack of empathy and humanity with which the problems are being addressed is just completely harmful," Bolton said. "To be told by administrators over and over and over again, 'We're doing our best' when their best is completely illegal and a violation of my human civil rights is just so unbelievable."
