Rossetti, Zach

This "call to action" encourages the reader to challenge the prejudiced assumptions that underlie the exclusion of persons with disabilities from higher education, and bring full inclusion to postsecondary settings. The article explains that the notion of disability is a social construct, and that exclusion on the basis of disability is in fact oppression. The authors situate the exclusion of persons with disabilities from higher education within an understanding that historically, colleges have maintained exclusive environments by restricting access among marginalized groups.
