Statute Text
Physical access committees; members; duties.
(1) Each public university listed in ORS 352.002
shall convene a physical access committee to identify barriers to access by
persons with disabilities on the campus of each public university. The
committee shall include, but not be limited to:
(a) One or more students
with disabilities or, if there are no students with disabilities willing to
participate, a person with a disability who uses the public universitys
facilities;
(b) One or more
members of the faculty or staff who have disabilities;
(c) The
coordinator of services for students with disabilities for the public
university;
(d) One or more
administrators of the public university; and
(e) One or more
members of the physical plant staff of the public university.
(2) The physical
access committee shall present its findings and recommendations to the
administration of the public university listing access needs and priorities for
meeting those needs. These findings and recommendations shall identify the
barriers to access that prevent persons with disabilities from meaningfully
utilizing campus facilities related to instruction, academic support, assembly
and residence life.
(3) In preparing
funding requests for each biennium, each public university shall include
amounts for capital improvement that will be applied to the substantial
reduction and eventual elimination of barriers to access by persons with
disabilities as identified by the physical access committee.
(4) Nothing in
this section and ORS 185.155 and 341.937 requires a public university to
undertake projects for accessibility that are not otherwise required unless
such projects are funded specifically by the Legislative Assembly. [Formerly
352.015]
