If you're wondering why I may not trust my university to keep accessibility issues in mind when planning events.

I've just ducked out of the event that is currently being hosted, in part, by the group of people that will be working together in order to highlight accessibility issues on campus.

There's a reception! There's food!

The food for the reception is down the only flight of stairs in the entire public area of the building.

Said the event organizer, who is one of the people who agrees that accessibility issues on campus are a problem: "Oops."

Not that there's anything she can do about it at this stage. But really: Even with the best of intentions, these things get forgotten. And yet, people think I should trust them to remember.
