INCOMING ASSOCIATION OF COLLEGIATE SCHOOLS OF PLANNING
PRESIDENT COMMITS TO ADDRESSING DISABILITY
In her incoming
ACSP President’s address, Laxmi Ramasubramanian, PhD, AICP, advocated for
transformative change.
“I also want to support our members’ efforts to address issues related to physical disabilities and make our living and working environments truly accessible,” said Ramasubramanian, Professor and Department Chair Department of Urban & Regional Planning at San José State University.
Ramasubramanian
created a program on Universal Design as part of higher education for planners during
the ACSP’s national conference this month.
I will present
on this and related issues with Heidi Johnson-Wright, Gala Korniyenko and Mahtot
Gebresselassie during an online chat Oct. 23.
Kudos to the
ACSP and its incoming president for agreeing that accessibility belongs with the
commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.
