Afternoon Everyone!

An update on the sudden and arbitrary cancellation of the Accessible Media Production graduate certificate program here in Ontario. It was a one-of-a-kind program here in Canada and we were just getting ready to accept international students this year (the graduate certificate was completely online).

Mohawk College President's Office Schedules, Cancels, Uncancels and Then Again Cancels Last Week's Meeting with AODA Alliance Chair to Discuss Major Objections to Mohawk Killing Its One-of-a-Kind Accessible Media Production Program - When If Ever Will We Get to Meet? - AODA Alliance<https://www.aodaalliance.org/whats-new/mohawk-college-presidents-office-schedules-cancels-uncancels-and-then-again-cancels-last-weeks-meeting-with-aoda-alliance-chair-to-discuss-major-objections-to-mohawk-killing-its-one-of-a-kind-ac/>

Looks like there is no hope for reinstating this career path graduate certificate.

Sad and devastating for those of us with disabilities and those dedicated to inclusion, diversity and equity.

Cheers, Karen
