Enhanced Campus Safety and Accessibility for Students with Disabilities.
This law mandates that colleges and universities must make all campus safety information and emergency procedures fully accessible to students and staff with disabilities. It requires institutions to adapt prevention programs, evacuation plans, and staff training to ensure equal safety and participation. The changes aim to guarantee that individuals with disabilities have fair access to campus life and equitable treatment in disciplinary proceedings, including access to communication assistance.
