My Semester Story

For my semester-long story, I'm exploring the fact that there is serious lack of handicap accessibility on campus.
For years I've looked at this beautiful campus with the rolling hills, historical buildings, and attitude of trying to market itself as the perfect school for so many different kinds of students, that it's glaringly obvious that's not really true.

How is someone supposed to wheel up the hill, live in any hall other than New Hall, or even take classes in many of campus's academic buildings.

I'm looking into the actual specifics of where the laws the are supposed to be enacted throughout here at Wittenberg and who is in charge of enforcing them.

I'm also going to talk to John Paulsen the head of physical plant and see what can be done feasibly and realistically.

I'm also talking to Dave Wishart, a economics professor who is himself handicap. I want to know about his experience. Does he teach in Synod because it's one of the only accessible places?

I'm also going to talk to Admissions. Discuss with them the different counselors and see if they've seen problem with either students or parents who are handicapped. Do they think the different aspects of campus are preventing a whole new enclave of potential students by not having ramps or elevators.
