The ableist analogy Chancellor May made.

Disabled students don't only PAY to be on campus - no free ride disability scholarship - UC has a legal obligation it continues flouting to be fully accessible to the public funding it. Arguing that the student body should pay fees to support a small % of student athletes/future mega sports corp employees who are given special tutors, a special health building, and other perqs already is not only patently ridiculous, but by likening it in this way to how UC chooses to segregate disabled students instead of being highest common denominator of accessible by default is bound to further encourage resentment of disabled students as a "cost"!

An excellent obituary for Judy Heumann by Joseph Shapiro for NPR. We were so fortunate to have her to fight for disability civil rights. Let's honor her life's work by continuing the fight!
