Accessibility Committee

Mission Statement

Key Responsibilities

• Identify opportunities to improve accessibility across campus.
• Review and advise on policies, procedures, and initiatives to ensure they meet accessibility standards.
• Promote awareness, training, and resources that support accessibility for all members of the Texas Tech community.
• Serve as liaisons between the committee and their departments to encourage inclusive practices university-wide.

Operations

The committee meets weekly during the academic year and forms subcommittees on specific areas such as:
