</span></b><span style='color:black'>The Eighth Annual Multiple
Perspectives conference continues the university’s efforts to bring
together a diverse audience to explore disability as both an individual
experience and social reality that cuts across typical divisions of education
& employment; scholarship & service; business & government; race,
gender & ethnicity. The annual theme is meant to encourage presenters and
participants to consider topics, methods and programs from fresh perspectives. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Two decades ago Congress
investigated the status of individuals with disabilities in society.
Their findings lead to the passage of the Americans With Disabilities Act in
1990. How relevant are those findings today? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>As we approach the second decade
under the ADA let’s take stock in the status of disability.
Papers addressing the themes of Access, Inclusion and Disability are sought for
the Eighth Annual Multiple Perspectives Conference<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:black'>Access:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>…”individuals with
disabilities continually encounter various forms of discrimination, including
outright intentional exclusion, the discriminatory effects of architectural,
transportation, and communication barriers, overprotective rules and policies,
failure to make modifications to existing facilities and practices,
exclusionary qualification standards and criteria, segregation, and relegation
to lesser services, programs, activities, benefits, jobs, or other
opportunities;.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:black'>Disability:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>…”individuals with
disabilities are a discrete and insular minority who have been faced with restrictions
and limitations, subjected to a history of purposeful unequal treatment, and
relegated to a position of political powerlessness in our society, based on

from stereotypic assumptions not truly indicative of the ability of such
individuals to participate in, and contribute to, society.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
