The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) Office sought input from students, faculty members, staff, and librarians with disabilities on the development of U of T’s next Multi-Year Accessibility Plan. This Plan serves as a five-year roadmap as the University advances accessible and inclusive environments where all members of the community can participate fully.
Under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), broader public sector institutions are required to establish, develop, and maintain multi-year accessibility plans, which must be updated every five years in consultation with persons with disabilities. The University updated its plan in consultation with students, faculty members, staff, and librarians.
Multi-Year Plan Consultation Committee
The Multi-Year Plan Consultation Committee is a representative group of students, staff, faculty members, and librarians, who have worked to create a guiding framework to ensure that U of T is and will continue to be fully accessible and inclusive for individuals with disabilities.
The Multi-Year Accessibility Plan addresses accessibility barriers in our physical spaces, digital environments, customer services, communications, employment practices, and transportation. Through committee and community feedback, insights, and expertise, the plan outlines key initiatives and commitments for the University to reach compliance with AODA standards, and to set a new benchmark for accessibility in higher education.
