Urgent: Students with Disabilities Face Unfair Barriers in College
Across the country, disabled students are denied equal access because many colleges demand costly new documentation and fail to explain how to request accommodations clearly.
The RISE (Respond, Innovate, Succeed, and Empower) Act eliminates these barriers. It allows colleges to accept existing documentation—such as IEPs and 504 Plans—and requires schools to provide transparent, accessible guidance on their accommodation processes.
Help ensure fair access to higher education by urging Congress to cosponsor and pass the RISE Act. Use the form below to contact your representatives today.
