Mount Allison politics professor Mario Levesque is calling on Mount Allison, and all other Canadian universities, to step up their game when it comes to campus accessibility.
Levesque’s own office is on the 4th floor of a campus building with no elevator, something that presented serious challenges for him last fall when he was using crutches temporarily after a surgery.
He says that if Mount Allison administration prioritized the goal, the school could make more progress on access to its buildings and facilities, and pitches a fifteen year target date for an accessible Mount Allison, to coincide with the school’s 200th anniversary.
“I think that we can do better,” says Levesque. “I think we can rise to the challenge.”
